OneView allows users to create and manage groups to which endpoints are assigned. This article details the Groups page and how to create and edit groups.

Move endpoints into groups

- Check the boxes next to endpoints you want to add to a group and click Actions.
- In the drop down click Move Group.
- Select a group to move the selected endpoints to and click Save.
To change which group an endpoint is added to during installation, command line or terminal commands must be used with the Group ID. To find the Group ID:
- Go to Manage > Sites.
- Hover over the site where endpoints are being added and click Launch site.
- In the confirmation window, click Launch site.
- Go to the Download Center > Advanced tools.
- Click Specify group assignment.
- The list of install commands and Group ID's displays.
