Custom groups in SHO help you group logically related VM hosts. For example, you can group together VM hosts that are located in the same location.
To create a Custom Group:
After creating the XML, save it in the %PMDB_HOME%/config folder.
The Custom Group XML must be named in the following format: <custom group name>_customgroup.xml, where <custom group name> is the name of the Custom Group.
After you create the Custom Group:
Custom Groups are displayed as part of the Group icons in Executive Summary view and the Forecast Summary View. Click a Custom Group icon to view the details of the Custom Group in the Detailed View.
Note: To hide a Custom Group from the SHO Users' Interface apply Group filter on the Configurations View page. For more information, see Applying Group Filter.
