Creating an Organization
You can use the Management Server console to group objects within a perspective to form an Organization. An Organization defined in one perspective is not available in another perspective. Table: Objects for creating Organizations lists the objects in each perspective which can be grouped to form an Organization.
Table: Objects for creating Organizations
| Perspective | Object |
|---|---|
| Server | Hosts |
| Availability | Clusters |
| Virtualization | Virtualization servers |
You can create multiple Organizations in the data center. You can also create multiple nested Organizations.
If you create an Organization based on rule, it is applicable for all the new objects added to the domain after the rule is created. For example, if you create an Organization for all Windows hosts, then when a new Windows host is added to the domain, it is included in the Organization.
To perform this task, your user group must be assigned the Admin role on the perspective in which you want to create the Organization.
