The devices you see in the Group Administration UI in applications depends on
whether the devices are being managed by that particular application or not.
For example, if we have Common Services, Campus Manager, and RME installed
on a server. You can see the following groups in the Groups UIs of Common
Services, Campus Manager, and RME.
CS@hostname
•
RME@hostname
•
Campus@hostname
•
Say you add 100 devices to the subgroup Routers in Common Services. All the
100 routers you have added are listed whenever you perform any operation on the
group Routers, from the Groups UI in Common Services.
However, if you perform any operation on the subgroup Routers, from the Groups
UI in RME, you may not see all the 100 devices you have added to the group from
Common Services. Instead, only those devices that RME manages are displayed.
Say you create a subgroup in Campus Manager, based on subnets, and add 30
devices. When you perform any operation on this subgroup from the Groups UI
in RME, the number of devices you will see may be less than 30. This depends on
whether RME is managing those devices.
Groups you create in Common Services groups UI in the Master get synchronized
with the Slave. This does not happen in the case of applications.
If you create a sub group under CS@master hostname in one server, it will appear
under CS@slave hostname in the peer server.
