Sync Groups, Domains, Links, and Ports
All Sync Groups discovered on the local subnet are displayed in the upper left panel. When you
select a Sync Group, its chassis, blades and ports display in the right panel showing all available
ports. If multiple chassis are cascaded to form a Sync Group, the name and address of the master
chassis within the Sync Group displays in the Sync Group(s) area. The addresses of slave chassis
cascaded to the master do not display. However, you can use the name or address of a slave chassis
in the Address field described above to discover a Sync Group on a subnet.

TraceControl and Maestro programs (even those created by other users). Only one domain can be

The new domain within the Sync Group is shown as a hierarchical structure, showing all chassis,
all links, and all ports that comprise the Domain. Chassis are automatically added to the domain
hierarchical structure by selecting ports from that chassis. You can add more ports to a chassis by
selecting ports (port-pairs) in the Port Viewing and Selection area. Click a chassis to add all ports
within the chassis to the domain.
Links are an aggregation of port-pairs. FC and GE port-pairs are included in a domain without
being assigned to a link. However, you can drag FC or GE port pairs into a link. TraceControl
assigns newly added SAS/SATA ports to new or existing link according to a formula, as described
in the note on page 35.
