<h1 class="topictitle1">Create system groups in your Management Central network</h1>
|
|
<div><p>A <dfn class="term">system group</dfn> is a collection of endpoint systems
|
|
that you define. If you are working with multiple systems or multiple logical
|
|
partitions, creating a system group allows you to perform tasks on all the
|
|
systems without selecting each endpoint system. Just select the system group
|
|
you created and start your task.</p>
|
|
<div class="section"><p>Endpoint systems can belong to several system groups at the same
|
|
time. After you have created a system group, you can manage the entire group
|
|
from your central system as if it were a single system.</p>
|
|
<p>To create a
|
|
system group, follow these steps:</p>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<ol><li><span>Open <span class="uicontrol">Management Central</span> from your <span class="uicontrol">iSeries
|
|
Navigator</span> window.</span></li>
|
|
<li><span>Right-click <span class="uicontrol">System Groups</span> and select <span class="uicontrol">New
|
|
System Group</span>.</span></li>
|
|
<li><span>On the <span class="uicontrol">New System Group</span> window, specify
|
|
a unique name for the new system group. You can also enter a brief description
|
|
that will help you later identify this group in a list of system groups.</span></li>
|
|
<li><span>From the <span class="uicontrol">Available systems</span> list, select
|
|
the endpoint systems that you want to include in this new group. Click the <span class="uicontrol">Add</span> button
|
|
to add the systems to the <span class="uicontrol">Selected systems</span> list.</span></li>
|
|
<li><span>If you want to give other users the ability to view or change this
|
|
system group, use sharing. Click the <span class="uicontrol">Sharing</span> tab and
|
|
specify <span class="uicontrol">Read-only</span> or <span class="uicontrol">Full</span> sharing.
|
|
If you specify <span class="uicontrol">None</span>, other users will not be able to
|
|
view or change this system group unless they have special authority, which
|
|
is administered under Host Applications in Application Administration. Users
|
|
with this special authority, called Management Central Administration Access,
|
|
can view all tasks, definitions, monitors, and system groups under Management
|
|
Central in the iSeries™ Navigator
|
|
window. </span></li>
|
|
<li><span>Click <span class="uicontrol">OK</span> to create the new system group.</span></li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
<div class="section"><p>The system group you create will include all the endpoint systems
|
|
you entered. You may decide later that you want to edit that list of endpoint
|
|
systems. You can always add more endpoint systems or remove endpoint systems
|
|
from your system group. </p>
|
|
<p>You can delete system groups from Management
|
|
Central. When you delete a system group or remove endpoint systems from a
|
|
system group, only the system group is changed. The endpoint systems that
|
|
were in the system group are still listed under <span class="uicontrol">Endpoint Systems</span> in
|
|
the iSeries Navigator
|
|
window. If you delete an endpoint system from the <span class="uicontrol">Endpoint Systems</span> list,
|
|
that endpoint system is removed from all system groups.</p>
|
|
<p>For more information about these
|
|
and other Management Central tasks and topics, refer to the detailed task
|
|
help that is available from the iSeries Navigator window. Click <span class="uicontrol">Help</span> from
|
|
the menu bar and select <span class="menucascade"><span class="uicontrol">iSeries Navigator overview</span> > <span class="uicontrol">Management Central</span></span>.</p>
