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 HP SIM. 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.
• mxngroup -a -g groupname [ -d description ] [ -n [ member... ] ]
mxngroup -a -f filename
These commands enable you to add system groups. The mxngroup -a -f filename command
enable you to provide the system group information in an XML file. See mxngroup(4) for more
information about the required XML file format.
• mxngroup -m -g groupname [-d description ] [-n [ member... ] ] [-u [t|f]
]
mxngroup -m -f filename
These commands allow you to modify system group information. As with adding system groups, the
group can be specified on the command line or in an XML file in the format described in the
mxngroup(4) manpage. When you modify a system group, HP SIM updates the authorization
information for any authorizations associated with the modified system group.
• mxngroup -r -g groupname
mxngroup -r -f filename
These commands allow you to remove a system group. You can specify an individual system group or
an XML file containing multiple system groups. The file must be formatted as described in the
mxngroup(4) manpage. When an HP SIM administrative rights user removes a system group, the
authorizations associated with the group are removed.
