7. Select the baseline and additional package if you want to change them for all the nodes in the node group.

   NOTE:

   When you add new nodes to an existing node group, ensure that they are in the same state as the other nodes in the node group with the same baseline assigned. If you add nodes that are not in the same state as the other nodes, all the nodes in the node group are reset to idle after displaying a warning.
