Actions

Add Group

To add a new Backup Group, click on Add Group:

• Name: Backup Group name
• State: Indicates if the subcloud backup group is enabled or disabled
• System Selectors: System Inventory labels to be matched for this group. The below describes how System Selectors work:
  • A subcloud can be tagged to a Backup Group only if all of the Backup Group’s selectors match the subcloud’s labels. For example:
    • If sysinv1 has labels a=a, b=b, c=c and bkgrp1 has selectors a=a, b=b, then sysinv1 will be tagged to bkgrp1.
    • If sysinv1 has labels a=a, d=d, c=c and bkgrp1 has selectors a=a, b=b, then sysinv1 will NOT be tagged to bkgrp1.
  • Each subcloud can be assigned to only one Backup Group.
  • Once a subcloud is assigned to a Backup Group, it cannot be assigned to a new Backup Group. Any attempt to do so will be blocked.
  • To resolve this, refine the selectors of the new Backup Group to narrow down the scope of matching subclouds to avoid selecting a subcloud that is already tagged to a Backup Group.
• Backup Policy ID: The backup policy ID to be used in this group
• Execution Schedule: Execution schedule with Execution Date & Recurrence or Now
