For example: 93 </p> 59 <p>Create nested groups, having a group hierarchy. For example: </p> 94 60 <pre xml:space="preserve">VBoxManage modifyvm "vm01" --groups "/TestGroup/TestGroup2"</pre> 95 <p> 96 This command attaches the VM <codeph>vm01</codeph> to the 97 subgroup <codeph>TestGroup2</codeph> of the 98 <codeph>TestGroup</codeph> group. 99 </p> 61 <p>This command attaches the VM <codeph>vm01</codeph> to the subgroup <codeph>TestGroup2</codeph> of the 62 <codeph>TestGroup</codeph> group. </p> 100 63 </li> 101 64 <li> 102 <p> 103 Use <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/vbox-mgr"/> menu options to control and manage all the VMs 104 in a group.
