You can use the Management Server console to group objects within a perspective to form an Organization. An Organization defined in one perspective is not available in another perspective. Table: Objects for creating Organizations lists the objects in each perspective which can be grouped to form an Organization.

Table: Objects for creating Organizations

Perspective	Object
Server	Hosts
Availability	Clusters
Storage	Enclosures
Virtualization	Virtualization servers

You can create multiple Organizations in the data center. You can also create multiple nested Organizations.

If you create an Organization based on rule, it is applicable for all the new objects added to the domain after the rule is created. For example, if you create an Organization for all Windows hosts, then when a new Windows host is added to the domain, it is included in the Organization.

To perform this task, your user group must be assigned the Admin role on the perspective in which you want to create the Organization.

To create an Organization

In the Management Server console, go to the perspective and select Manage in the left pane.
Right-click Data Center and select Create Organization. To create a nested Organization, right-click the parent Organization.
In the Create Organization wizard panel, enter a name for the Organization, and select a method to add objects to the Organization.
See Create Organization panel options.
If you select Empty Organization, click Finish.
If you select Assign Hosts to Organization, select the objects, and click Finish.
See Create Organization - Select an object panel options.
If you select Assign Hosts to Organization Based on Rule, create a rule to select the objects, and click Finish.
