IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3 Fix Pack 2


Deploy groups

Deploy groups organize the targets of deployment operations. Deploy targets are specified as members within the deploy group. These deploy targets can represent unmanaged systems, which could be targets of a createNode deployment operation. Deploy targets can also represent managed systems where a Tivoli Monitoring or Netcool System Service Monitor (SSM) agent is already installed. Both of these types of deploy targets can be added as members to deploy groups.

Once you create the necessary deploy groups to represent logical groupings of systems within the enterprise, these groups can be used repeatedly during the lifecycle of your monitoring infrastructure to deploy, update, start, stop, configure, and eventually remove agents.
