●
You cannot remove any of the members (including sub-groups) of an imported group. The imported
group can only be deleted in its entirety, using the Destroy function.
●
You can add resources that are children of an Import Sources group as members (children) of other
groups.
Resource Attributes
Attributes are name and value pairs that you can use for a variety of purposes. You can associate
attributes with both groups and individual resources, including resources that are members of the
Device Groups and Import Sources groups.
Some predefined resources, such as devices and imported resources, may also have predefined
attributes. For example, device resources have their IP address as an attribute. Imported resources may
bring with them sets of attributes determined by the content and configuration of the import source.
Certain attributes, such as IP/subnet address. L4 and Netlogin ID are used by the optional Policy
Manager applet to allow it to map between high-level named resources, such as Users, and the
information required to generate a QoS policy (IP address and port information).
You can also define attributes of your own, and then use them as search criteria when you want to find
sets of resources with common attributes.
Relationships between Resources
The Grouping Manager also supports “relationships” between User, Host, and Port resources. These
relationships are used by the optional Policy Manager applet, and help the Policy Manager generate
specific QoS rules that it derives from high-level policy specifications that are given in terms of named
objects such as users or hosts. See
Chapter 18 “Using the Policy Manager” for more information on the
Policy Manager.
Grouping Manager Functions
There are multiple ways to invoke the functions provided by the Grouping Manager:
●
Using the menus at the top of the main applet frame—specifically the Grouping menu
●
Using the function buttons shown directly below the EPICenter menus
No right-click pop-up menus are available in the Grouping Manager.
For simplicity, most of the instructions in this chapter only specify a one method of invoking a function
(usually the function button).
Grouping Manager Function Buttons
The buttons at the top of the main Grouping Manager applet provide the following functions:
