Description
The mxngroup command enables you to create, modify, remove, and list system groups. System
groups are collections of systems that are subsets of all the systems discovered by Systems Insight
Manager. System groups can have overlapping memberships, so a single system can be a member
of more than one group. The system grouping mechanism enables flexible partitioning of systems
into logical collections that match their use model.
When a system group is created, its attributes and membership can be specified. When it is
modified, its attributes can be selectively modified, its membership can be reset, and it can be
updated based on a collection.
You must have administrative rights to add, modify, or remove groups. Any user can list system
groups and attributes.
