Using Group Manager › Monitor Groups of Managed Resources

Monitor Groups of Managed Resources

Use the Group Manager feature of CA OPS/MVS to group system resources under the control of the System State Manager and to monitor the status of resource groups.

To help you find resources that are not in their correct state among the hundreds or even thousands of system resources that the System State Manager may be monitoring at your data center, the System State Manager offers a Group Manager feature. Using the Group Manager and its tables and ISPF panels, you can:

• Categorize resources that the System State Manager monitors into groups.
• Monitor the status of groups from all systems connected through MSF to CA OPS/MVS on the local system, or monitor only a subset of those groups.
• Display a list of the resources belonging to each group.
• For each resource, change the desired state, the mode in which System State Manager monitors the resource, and whether the status of the resource contributes to the status of the group to which it belongs.

To use Group Manager

1. Set the STATEGROUPMAN parameter to YES
2. Set the System State Manager to active.

For more detailed information on the STATEGROUPMAN parameter, see the Parameter Reference.
