Chapter 8: Nodes, Node Groups, and Interfaces

151

Add a Node Group

To add a node group:

1. Choose Associations > Node Group. The Node Groups Manager

window appears

2. Choose Groups > New. A template for a node group appears.

3. In the Group Name field, type a name for a node group you want to

create. See Naming Conventions (on page 389) for details on

CC-SG's rules for name lengths.

4. There are two ways to add nodes to a group, Select Nodes and

Describe Nodes. The Select Nodes method allows you to arbitrarily

assign nodes to the group by selecting them from the list of available

nodes. The Describe Nodes method allows you to specify rules that

describe nodes; nodes that match the description will be included in

the group.

Describe Method versus Select Method

Use the describe method when you want your group to be based on

some attribute of the node or devices, such as the categories and

elements. The advantage of the describe method is that when you add

more devices or nodes with the same attributes as described, they will

be pulled into the group automatically.

Use the select method when you just want to create a group of specific

nodes manually. New nodes and devices added to CC-SG are not pulled

into these groups automatically. You must manually add the new nodes

or devices to the group after you add them to CC-SG.

These two methods cannot be combined.

Once a group is created with one method, you must edit it using the

same method. Switching methods will overwrite the current group

settings.

Select Nodes

To add a node group with the Select Nodes option:

1. Click the Select Nodes tab.

2. Click the Device Name drop-down menu and select a device to filter

the Available list to display only nodes with interfaces from that

device.

3. In the Available list, select the nodes you want to add to the group,

and then click Add to move the node into the Selected list. Nodes in

the Selected list will be added to the group.
