\ **groupname**\ 
 
 Name of the group.
 


\ **grouptype**\ 
 
 Static or Dynamic. A static group is defined to contain a specific set of cluster nodes. A dynamic node group is one that has its members determined by specifying a selection criteria for node attributes.
 


\ **members**\ 
 
 The value of the attribute is not used, but the attribute is necessary as a place holder for the object def commands.  (The membership for static groups is stored in the nodelist table.)
 


\ **membergroups**\ 
 
 This attribute stores a comma-separated list of nodegroups that this nodegroup refers to. This attribute is only used by PCM.
 


\ **wherevals**\ 
 
 A list of "attr\*val" pairs that can be used to determine the members of a dynamic group, the delimiter is "::" and the operator \* can be ==, =~, != or !~.
 


\ **comments**\ 
 
 Any user-written notes.
 


\ **disable**\ 
 
 Set to 'yes' or '1' to comment out this row.
