You can add and remove servers from a group or update the name and description. You can also attach and detach the volumes when you add and remove servers.

  1. Access the Updating a Server Group window by opening the Servers window. Click the Server Groups tab.
  2. Select a server group, then click Edit.
  3. Change the other contents accordingly.
    • If you want to change the name and description, change them and click Submit.
    • If you want to detach the volumes when removing servers, check the Apply changes to attached volumes option and click Submit.
    • If you want to attach the volumes when adding servers, check the Apply changes to attached volumes option, click Next, and then specify the settings to attach the volumes in the following steps.
    • If you want to add or move servers without attaching or detaching the volumes, click Submit without checking the Apply changes to attached volumes option.
  4. In the Select Volumes to Attach step, you can select one or more existing volumes attached to the servers in the server group.
  5. In the Path Settings step, you can select storage port settings for creating paths. The following options are available:
    • Use Existing Ports: Ops Center Administrator attaches volumes by copying an existing server's paths. If select this option, select a single server for copying its paths.
    • Use New Ports: Ops Center Administrator attaches volumes by creating paths between the added server's ports and storage ports not used by existing servers in the server group.
  6. In the Path Mappings step, you can select storage port settings for creating paths. The following options are available:
    • If you select Use Existing Ports, select the selected server's ports and the added server's ports in a one-to-one relationship.
    • If you select Use New Ports, you can create paths by selecting server ports to attach to storage ports.
    Note: Ops Center Administrator attempts to share a host group among multiple servers' ports if at least one shared host group exists in the server group and shared host group configuration is possible in the specified configuration.
  7. The Create Zone Setting is set to No by default. Set it to Yes to automatically create zones.
  8. When you are satisfied with all the settings, click Submit.
    Note: You cannot do the following combinations at the same time. You must do them separately.
    • Update the name and description and add/remove servers with attaching/detaching volumes.
    • Add and remove servers with attaching and detaching volumes (Without attaching and detaching volumes, you can add and remove servers at the same time).
