Node Groups - HP Data Protector A.06.11 Integration Manual

Node groups

Node groups are logical groups of systems or devices assigned together with message
groups to an operator to manage. Each node group is represented by an icon in the
Nodes tab/context in the OM window. Open a node group to view all systems within
it. A system may belong to more than one node group.
The Data Protector Integration provides the four Node Groups, DP ALL CELLS, DP
ALL MGRS, DP NT MGRS and DP UX MGRS:
The Add Data Protector Cell action adds a node below the DP ALL MGRS
node group. This node group is automatically created during installation.
Node groups determine which nodes a user receives messages from. Together with
message groups, they define:
• The user responsibilities
• The messages the user sees in the message browser
Node groups allow a flexible assignment to Operations Manager operators and
convenient assignment of Operations Manager Policies to groups of nodes. The
predefined user roles of the Data Protector Integration use message groups and node
groups.
The Data Protector Integration also provides the DP ALL CELLS node group by
default. When you add a new Data Protector Cell Manager with the Add DP Cell
application, a Node Layout Group is included into the DP ALL CELLS node
group.
Two further node groups are created during installation of the Data Protector
Integration:
•
DP NT MGRS
•
DP UX MGRS
These can be used by any Operations Manager administrator to help assign and
distribute policies and monitors to all nodes of a selected operating system. If the cell
