Example 3
To update a MIB file in HP SIM, complete the following steps:
1. Download the new mib and copy it into the mibs directory.
2. Run mcompile to update the existing .cfg file.
NOTE: If the existing .cfg file had any customizations, these must be reapplied.

mxngroup
Adds, modifies, removes, or lists system groups in HP SIM.
Synopsis
mxngroup -a -g groupname [-d description ] [-n [ member... ] ]
mxngroup -a -f filename
mxngroup -m -g groupname [-d description ] [-n [ member... ] ] [-u [t|f] ]
mxngroup -m -f filename
mxngroup -r -g groupname
mxngroup -r -f filename
mxngroup [-l d|f|m|n] [-g groupname... ]
mxngroup [-l d|f|m|n] [-n [ member... ] ]
mxngroup -l f [-g groupname... ] [-b encoding ]
mxngroup -lf [-n [ member... ] ] [-b encoding ]
Description
mxngroup allows 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
allows 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 full configuration 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 allow you to add system groups. The mxngroup -a -f filename command
allows 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
