| {*group*}
Creates a new group with the given name. The node group will be
parameters for nodes in the group. Please see **ganeti**(7) for more
information about supported key=value pairs.
+The ``--alloc-policy`` option allows you to set an allocation policy for
+the group at creation time. Possible values are:
+
+unallocable
+ nodes in the group should not be candidates for instance allocation,
+ and the operation (e.g., instance creation) should fail if only
+ groups in this state could be found to satisfy the requirements.
+
+last_resort
+ nodes in the group should not be used for instance allocations,
+ unless this would be the only way to have the operation succeed.
+
+preferred
+ nodes in the group can be used freely for allocation of instances
+ (this is the default). Note that prioritization among groups in this
+ state will be deferred to the iallocator plugin that's being used.
