Add support for hyper-v host groups

The Hyper-V dashboard is a great feature but it would be handy to be able to group physical servers together in one view. For example; add HV1 HV2 HV3 together in a single view instead of having to open multiple windows

Hello,

Thank you for the request, we'll see what we can do to allow this in the future.

Hello,
Do you see an entry where you can list add physical servers you want to regroup?

@David - Sorry what do you mean?

Hello,
I'm not sure how we should implement this feature. We already have an entry named Hyper-V Manager. Should we accept a list of host (physical host) in this entry or merge into one view all the different entry when you open more than one hyper-v host. Let me know if I'm still unclear.

Yeah not sure the best way to implement it.

Perhaps add in a Group ID to the Hyper-V host, and then create a new entry type called "Hyper V Group" where you specify the Group Number of hosts to display.

That's probably a good way actually, because then you could group Hyper-V servers across clients or the whole of the data source.

So the idea being you could have a big list of VM's like this

Hello,

Thanks for the idea. We've discussed what we could do to support this and we think that adding a new entry "Hyper-V Group" as you mention, would be a good idea to support this. We'll do it in a similar way to playlists so you won't need to modify your existing Hyper-V Dashboard entries to be able to use them within this.

I've opened a ticket internally, we'll update this thread once we have an update.
