+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #742520 +++ Go to Inventory, then click on compatible group and then on "New". Enter a name, then select resources. Select all resources and finish. See the list of compatible groups on the next step not having the compatible group listed, as by adding all resources, a mixed group has been created. While on one hand it is good to be a little bit more flexible than before, this also may result in a confused user. We should - add a descriptive blurb on page 1 of the group creation wizard, that explains comp. vs mixed groups - add a section in the docs - re-think if we need the individual entries on the inventory tab for comp/mixed groups, as one may just create compatible +mixed groups on the "all groups" entry. --- Additional comment from hrupp on 2011-09-30 15:32:36 EDT --- http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/JBoss_Operations_Network/3.0/html/Basic_Admin_Guide/sect-Basic_Admin_Guide-Managing_Groups-Defining_Groups.html does not talk about how a user can create a comp / mixed group. In the old UI, this was explicitly chosen by the user.
I have an overview that compares compatible and mixed groups (based on a section on the RHQ wiki): http://documentation-stage.bne.redhat.com/docs/en-US/JBoss_Operations_Network/3.0/html/Initial_Setup_Inventory_Groups_and_Users/managing-groups.html#managing-groups-info It's short. And then the creating groups section talks about compat v mized groups: http://documentation-stage.bne.redhat.com/docs/en-US/JBoss_Operations_Network/3.0/html/Initial_Setup_Inventory_Groups_and_Users/sect-Basic_Admin_Guide-Managing_Groups-Defining_Groups.html
Verified. Two tweaks: a. /dictates/specifies b. /andmixed/and mixed/ Deon fixed this already via direct conversation.
