Table B-1 Changes done for simplifying implementation and setup

Item Overview of changes Reference manual Reference location
Changing the operation target unit of setup and operation in a virtual environment The operation target unit of setup and operation in a virtual environment is changed from a virtual server to a virtual server group. Enabled the batch registration of multiple virtual servers to the management unit by using the file, which defines the information on the virtual server group.
