Create physical groups
Power Manager enables you to replicate and update the physical organization and hierarchy of a data center. Using the
following hierarchy—Data Center, Room, Aisle, and Rack create the physical groups and add the devices at the rack level.
About this task
Create physical groups by importing a CSV file having the physical group details or replicate your data center hierarchy virtually
in Power Manager.
The physical groups that are created or deleted in OpenManage Enterprise are automatically added or removed from Power
Manager.
