Synchronize Groups

Synchronize device groups.

About

Enabling this feature causes synchronization of device groups of all types between the primary and secondary data centers.

Note:

• Devices can belong to more than one group.

• It's imperative that each device is added to at least one group. Otherwise, RMF cannot manage the device.

Scope

The scope is limited to RMF-licensed devices selected by the Device Selectionblock and encompasses the features listed under the "Settings here correspond to" section in the picture below. The direction of synchronization depends on the direction setting. See Set Synchronization Direction.
