Grouping VMs by Guest Operating System

This example describes how to dynamically group VMs by guest OS.

To group VMs by their guest OSes:

1. Open Veeam ONE Business View.
2. Create a category with the following properties:

• Friendly name: Guest OS
• Group type: Dynamic
• Object type: VM

For details on creating categories, see Creating Categories.

3. Choose to create dynamic groups within the new category and specify the following grouping expression:

GuestOS

The expression returns the VM guest OS name, and includes the VM to a group with this name.

For details on creating dynamic groups, see Creating Dynamic Groups.

As a result, the Guest OS category will display a list of groups for VMs divided by the guest OSes.
