Assigning Client Nodes to a Policy Domain

You may use the TSM Console or the server command line to assign client nodes to a policy domain. To use the TSM Console, do the following:

  1. Double-click the desktop icon for the TSM Console.
  2. Expand the tree until the TSM server you want to work with is displayed. Expand the server and click Wizards. The Wizards list appears in the right pane.
  3. Select the Client Node Configuration wizard and click Start. The Client Node Configuration Wizard appears.
  4. Progress through the wizard to the Define TSM client nodes and policy panel.
  5. Assign client nodes to a policy domain in one of the following ways:

    The server will create a new policy domain if one does not exist with the same properties as you defined using the wizard. The server-defined policy domains contain an activated policy set and a default management class that are named STANDARD.

  6. Finish the wizard.

The following figure shows an example of the Adding TSM Nodes with Policy Information wizard:

At the server command line or the administrative Web interface, you can assign existing client nodes to a new policy domain, or create new client nodes to be associated with an existing policy domain.

For example, to assign the client node APPCLIENT1 to the ENGPOLDOM policy domain, enter the following command:

update node appclient1 domain=engpoldom

To create a new client node, NEWUSER, and assign it to the ENGPOLDOM policy domain, enter the following command:

register node newuser newuser domain=engpoldom
