How to Create a Service Group


ExtremeCloud IQ Site Engine Policy lets you create service groups into which you can group Local and Global services. A service group can contain any number of services, as well as other service groups. A service can be a part of more than one group.

Instructions on:

Creating a Service Group
  1. In ExtremeCloud IQ Site Engine, select the Control tab.
  2. Open the Policy tab and select Roles/Services > Service Repository left-panel tab. Expand the Local Services or Global Services tab.
  3. Right-click on the Service Groups folder and select Create Service Group. This opens the Create window where you can enter a name for the new service group.
  4. Type the service group name in the highlighted box and select OK. You can now add services to the service group. After a service group has been created at the top level under the Service Groups folder, it can be added to another service group.
Adding Services to a Service Group

A service group can contain any number of services, as well as other service groups. You can add services to a service group by

  1. Right-click the service group from which you wish to remove services, and select Add/Remove Services.
  2. In the Add/Remove Services window, select the services or service groups you want to add to the service group, and select the Right Arrow button.
  3. Select OK.
Removing Services from a Service Group

Use the following steps to remove a service or service group from a service group. Removing a service from a service group does not delete the service itself.  If you want to delete the service itself, see Deleting a Service. Keep in mind that if you change the contents of a service group, ExtremeCloud IQ Site Engine automatically updates the services list for any role that the service group is associated with, affecting the rules in the role.

  1. Right-click the service group from which you wish to remove services, and select Add/Remove Services.
  2. In the Add/Remove Services window, select the services or service groups you want to remove from the service group, and select the Left Arrow button.
  3. Select OK.
