Custom Groups

Custom Groups

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:

  1. Create an XML for the Custom Group. For syntax on creating the Custom Group XML, see Custom Group XML Format.
  2. 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.
