Chapter 8: Nodes, Node Groups, and Interfaces
Example 2: If you want to describe a group of devices that belong
to the engineering department or are located in Philadelphia, and
specify that all of the machines must have 1 GB of memory, you
must create three rules. Department = Engineering (Rule0)
Location = Philadelphia (Rule1) Memory = 1GB (Rule2).These
rules must be arranged in relation to each other. Since the device
can either belong to the engineering department or be located in
Philadelphia, use the OR operator, |, to join the two: Rule0 | Rule1.
Make this comparison first by enclosing it parentheses: (Rule0 |
Rule1). Since the devices must both satisfy this comparison AND
contain 1GB of memory, use the AND connector, &, to join this
section with Rule2: (Rule0 | Rule1) & Rule2. Type this final
expression in the Short Expression field.
Note: You should have a space before and after operators & and |.
Otherwise, the Short Expression field may return to the default
expression, that is, Rule0 & Rule1 & Rule2 and so on, when you
delete any rule from the table.
6. Click Validate when a description has been written in the Short
Expression field. If the description is formed incorrectly, a warning
appears. If the description is formed correctly, a normalized form of
the expression appears in the Normalized Expression field.
7. Click View Nodes to see what nodes satisfy this expression. A Nodes
in Node Group window opens, displaying the nodes that will be
grouped by the current expression. This can be used to check if the
description was correctly written. If not, you can return to the rules
table or the Short Expression field to make adjustments.
8. If you know you want to create a policy that allows access to the nodes
in this group at all times, select the Create Full Access Policy for
Group checkbox.
9. When you are done describing the nodes that belong in this group,
click OK to create the node group. The group will be added to the list of
Node Groups on the left.
Edit a Node Group
Edit a node group to change the membership or description of the group.
To edit a node group:
1. Choose Associations > Node Group. The Node Groups Manager
window opens.
2. Click the node you want to edit in the Node Group List. The details of
that node appear in the Node Groups window.
3. Refer to the instructions in the Select Nodes or Describe Nodes
sections for details on how to configure the node group.
4. Click OK to save your changes.
