Name for DeviceGroup.
Every DeviceGroup must have a unique Name. The
name must be unique among all DeviceGroup names
within an FM instance. When defined at Common level
must be unique within all instances
The name is limited to 64 characters and is case sensitive.
Include all of the ports and nodes within the given system
as identified by its 64-bit System Image GUID.
Selects all of the ports in the node (a Channel Adapter or
switch is a single node) as identified by its 64-bit node
GUID.
Selects the given port as identified by its 64-bit port GUID.
Selects all nodes exactly matching the given name.
Typically, will match one node, but multiple nodes with the
same NodeDesc are possible.
While easier to configure, use of this mechanism is less
secure than specification using GUIDs. It’s very easy for a
systems node description to be changed.
Selects all ports on all nodes of the specified node type.
The following types may be specified:
• CA – All Channel Adapters
• SW – All Switches
• RT – All Routers
The listed types are case insensitive
By having multiple Select parameters, multiple node
types can be combined as required in the same Device-
Group section.
