Create a system group

Before you can propagate the network authentication service and EIM configurations to the target systems, you must create a system group for all the endpoint systems. A system group is a collection of several systems that you can manage and to which you can apply similar settings and attributes, such as the network authentication service configuration.
  1. In iSeries™ Navigator, expand Management Central (iSeriesMC1).
  2. Right-click System Groups and select New System Group... to create a new system group.
  3. On the General page, enter MyCo system group in the name field.
  4. Specify a description for this system group.
  5. From the Available Systems list, select iSeries B and iSeries C and click Add. This will add the systems to the Selected systems list.
  6. Click OK.
  7. Expand System Groups to verify that your system group was added.
Now that you have created a system group for your endpoint systems, you can propagate the network authentication service and EIM configurations to these systems.
