NOTE: This name cannot be changed later without destroying the management group.
When naming a management group, ensure that you do not use the name of an existing
management group. Doing so causes the stores to be initialized and any data on those stores
to be permanently deleted.
2. Select the storage system(s) to add to the management group.
Use Ctrl+Click to select more than one.
IMPORTANT: Using two storage systems in a management group requires a Failover Manager
for the highest level of data availability. If you are creating a management group with two
storage systems and you do not add a FOM, you must select the checkbox acknowledging
the risk before you can continue.
