Using the HP Management Console

Pre-assigning Devices to Groups
Dragging and dropping devices:

1Ensure that the device tree has at least one grouping property selected in the grouping scheme.

2Click on a device, hold down the mouse button then drag the device to another group on the device tree.

Note: Devices can only be dragged between groups of the same level on the device tree, and groups being dragged between must have a grouping property.

3Release the mouse button and the grouping property for the device will be set to that of the group being dropped into. The device will then be re-grouped under the target group.

You can pre-assign a device to a specific group using the Agent Configuration dialog on the device itself. On the Group tab, select Use Static Custom Groups > Add Group Name "Manual Group" and specify a value. Once the device agent has registered with the server, you will see the device placed in the specified pre-assigned group folder if you choose the global manual grouping scheme (click the Group By button and select Manual Group > _global.)
