Define parent to multiple hosts

Post by acquala »

How, if possible, can one define a parent for multiple hosts? I've looked and searched here and elsewhere but failed to find it. Thank you in advance.

Hi @acquala,

In the CCM, you can navigate to Host Management for any of your hosts and add any other host as a parent under Manage Parents. This does require individually selecting each host. If you have an Enterprise License, you can use the Bulk Modifications Tool (CCM -> Tools -> Bulk Modifications Tool) and add parent(s) to multiple hosts at once. This allows you to quickly define a parent for any number of hosts.

Hope this helps! Let us know if you have any other questions.

Thank you.
