Configuring SHO > Applying Group Filter

Applying Group Filter

Applying Group filter enables you to perform operations on the remaining Groups more conveniently. Filtering unwanted Groups also prevents you from accidentally using those Groups for various scenarios.

Click the Group Filters tab to filter unwanted OM Node Groups/Custom Groups from the list of available OM Node Groups/ Custom Groups. The Groups that are suppressed, will not be visible on any screen of the application.

Note: You cannot filter Business Service, Business Application, Clusters, or Datastores using the Group filter.

If you filter a Group that shares VMs with other Groups, then the shared VMs will still be visible under the remaining Groups.

To apply group filters:

  1. From the Select Group Type drop-down list, select the appropriate group type.
  2. Select the Groups that you wish to filter from the Available Groups list. The Available Groups list shows all the available Groups under the selected Group type.

    Note: To select multiple Groups, press and hold the CTRL key and click the Groups that you want to filter.

  3. Click Include Selected to filter the selected Groups.
    Click Include All to filter all the groups available in the selected Group type.
    The filtered Groups are displayed in the Suppressed Groups list.
  4. Click Save to save the changes or click Cancel to discard the changes.

To make the filtered Groups visible again:

  1. Select the Groups that you want to remove from the Suppressed Groups list.

    Note: To select multiple Groups, press and hold the CTRL key and click the Groups that you want to filter.

  2. Click Remove Selected to make the selected Groups visible.
    Click Remove All to make all the Groups in the Suppressed Groups list visible in the Available Groups list.
  3. Click Save to save the changes or click Cancel to discard the changes.
