Wireless Access

Good afternoon,

is there a way to rename a Managed Network's Group? For example:

Group 1

Group B

I have controllers in both, but want to rename Group B to Group 2. How do I accomplish this? 

If you can't rename, and I create Group 2, how do I move the controllers from Group B to Group 2?

Thanks.

Not sure about renaming, but you can remove a device and/or path by using the following commands, to remove a controller, see below. Same idea to remove an MD group.

(Demo_ArubaMM_01) [mynode] #show switches

All Switches

---------- ------------ ---- -------- ---- ----- ------- ------ ------------------- ---------------------- ---------

In addition, before you can remove an MD group, if you enabled a license pool for that group, make sure you disable it first, otherwise it will give you an error. 

There does seem to be a bug here: The GUI has a pencil icon next to the group name and that pops up a dialog allowing you to change the name, but when I do that it says "Node or its children have pending configurations" but they don't (trying on V8.3.0.4)

Hi, I get same error when changing the group name. We are using MM version 8.2.1.1. Can someone help to get around this problem. 

I don't know if this affects anything, but see here:
