Add Groups

A group is a subset of the defined systems in the Console Manager configuration database. For example, the New York group consists of all systems in the New York branch office. A system can be a member of multiple groups.

To add groups to your configuration database, use the add group command

1. Start the configuration editor as described in the section, Starting the Configuration Editor.
2. Enter:

   CM Edit> add group
   

3. Enter a name for the group:

   Group name: New York
   

4. Enter a description of the group:

   Information: All New York Systems
   

5. You are asked if all systems are members of this group:

   Are all systems members of the group? [Y/N] (Y): n
   

6. Enter the names of the systems belonging to the group:

   Enter the systems which are members of this group (?=list)
    System (CR=end): pepper
    System (CR=end): salt
    System (CR=end):
   

7. You are asked if it is all right to add the group:

   OK to add? [Y/N] (Y): y
   

The following is an example of what you see on your screen:
