7.To remove storage systems from the group, click the button with the less than sign (<).

8.Click OK.

The management server no longer displays the grouped elements in the topology individually. A storage system icon with the group name on the bottom represents the group. The group cannot be monitored or managed.

Ungrouping "Discovered" Storage Systems

You might want to ungroup "Discovered" storage systems, if one of the storage systems in the group is going to change. For example, the storage system will be taken off line.

Keep in mind the following:

A user's role must include an access level of Element Control or Full Control for storage systems. See the topic, Editing Roles” on page 138 for more information about the access level of a role.

Do not ungroup elements during Get Topology or Discovery Data Collection/Get Details. You can determine if the management server is getting the topology or all element details by looking at label near the status button.

To ungroup multiple elements:

1.Access System Manager, as described in Accessing System Manager” on page 219.

2.Right-click a storage system icon for a group and select Ungroup into multiple storage from the drop-down menu.

3.When you are asked if you want to ungroup the elements, click OK. The elements are ungrouped.
