Chapter 11. Configuring the Provisioning Environment


11.1. Creating a Host Group

A host group defines a set of default values that hosts inherit when placed in that group. Hosts can belong to only one host group, but host groups can be nested in hierarchies. You can create a "base" or "parent" host group that represents all hosts in your organization, and then create nested or "child" host groups under that parent to provide specific settings. This section describes how to create a host group.

Procedure 11.1. To Add a Host Group to Satellite:

  1. Click Configure Host Groups and then click New Host Group.
  2. Enter the required details for the Host Group, and then click Submit.
