Dell PowerProtect DD Management Center (DDMC) 7.9 Installation and Administration Guide

Creating groups

Groups are ways to organize Data Domain or PowerProtect systems under a specific name, in a hierarchical structure created by the DDMC administrator.

1. Select Administration > Groups.
2. To add a group at the root level, click + ADD.
3. Ensure only the "/" is in the Path box. Enter a name for the new group, and click SAVE.
   The new group is now listed in the Groups panel.
4. To add a sub-group to a group, select a group (which will be the parent group) from the Groups panel, click + ADD (green plus sign), enter a name for the sub-group, and click SAVE.
   The sub-group is nested under the parent group in the Groups panel.
5. After a system has been added to DDMC, it can be added to a group. Select the target group from the Groups panel, and click ADD (green plus sign). In the Add Group dialog, select a system from the Available Systems panel, select > to move the system into the Systems in the Group panel, and click SAVE.
   The system is displayed in the Group Details panel when the group is selected in the Groups panel. When a system resides in more than one group, you can hover the cursor on the Information control to display the group assignments.
