Creates a server group or adds servers to or removes servers from a server group.

A server can belong only to one server group. If you call the CreateOrUpdateAssetGroup operation and the server specified in request parameters belongs to Server Group A, the server is removed from Server Group A and then added to the newly created or specified server group after the call is complete.

Debugging

OpenAPI Explorer automatically calculates the signature value. For your convenience, we recommend that you call this operation in OpenAPI Explorer. OpenAPI Explorer dynamically generates the sample code of the operation for different SDKs.

The following list describes the difference in the configurations of request parameters when you call the CreateOrUpdateAssetGroup operation to create a server group and add servers to or remove servers from a server group:

  • Create a server group: You do not need to specify GroupId but must specify GroupName. The Uuids parameter is optional.
  • Add servers to or remove servers from a server group: You must specify both GroupId and Uuids. The GroupName parameter is optional.
