Groups
The Groups tab of the Distributed Command Execution Manager dialog helps
you create, edit, and delete groups of hosts. It makes it more
convenient to run commands on the same groups of hosts repeatedly.
Groups that you create and maintain appear in the Browse groups list, displayed
from the General tab.
You can find more detailed help on the following elements of this window:
Group name
Displays the name of the selected group. When creating a new group,
enter the group's name here
Browse...
Displays the Browse Groups Dialog to select from a list of previously defined
groups. Select a group from the list to work with.
Host names
Enter the name of a host that you want to add to the group, then click
Add.
Hosts in domain
Lists hosts in the CSM domain. To add one of these hosts to the group,
select it, then click Add >. Hold down the Ctrl or Enter key to select
multiple hosts.
Group members
Lists the hosts already in the group. To add a host to the group,
either type its name in the "Host names" box, or select it from the "Hosts
in domain" box, then click Add >. To remove a host from this group,
select it in the list, then click < Remove.
Add >
Moves a selected host from the "Host names" or "Hosts in domain" box to
the "Group members" box on the right.
< Remove
Removes one or more selected hosts from the "Group members" list, and adds
it to the "Hosts in domain" list on the left.
Save Group
Select this button to save your changes to the current group. The
Save Group button is not available until you specify a group name and at
least one group member. Saving a group does not cause a command to
be run on any host. After saving a group, you can return to the General
tab and select that group using the Browse button.
Copy Group...
Select this button to copy the list of hosts from the current group to
a new group. You can then enter a new group name and edit the list
of hosts to complete the definition of the new group.
Delete Group
Select this button to delete selected groups from the list. You will
no longer be able to select the deleted groups for running distributed
commands.
