following:
Section 4.2, "Creating a Host Name for Each Agent," on page 27

4.2 Creating a Host Name for Each Agent

Hosts can be organized and grouped into domains.

2 In the Navigation Pane, click Hosts.
The Navigation Pane displays the current hierarchy for your Framework.

3a Click Add Domain in the Task Pane.
3b Specify a domain name.
3c Click Finish.
4 Select the required domain from the Navigation Pane.
5 Click Add Hosts from the Task Pane.
6 Specify the agent names for the hosts. You can type the names one at a time using one name per
line, or paste a list of names.
When you add a host to the Framework, the name does not need to relate to the existing DNS
name used to locate the host on your network.
7 Click Next.
A list of agent names is displayed.
8 Click Finish.
The status of the host is unregistered until the agent is installed and registered.
