Partition collocation

Edit online

Partition collocation is a rule that discovers component instances that are on the same partition and are related to a product in the software catalog. If any of the discovered component instances has a confirmed, one-to-one, or auto-bundled relation to the product, the other instances are automatically bundled with the same product.

Example

The assignment of the Server 2 component to Product 4 is simple, auto-bundled, or manually confirmed. The database component is assigned to Product 1. Both components are on the same partition.

Based on the software catalog data, the database component is automatically reassigned to Product 4.

Components that are not evaluated

Some components are not evaluated as part of the partition collocation rule and do not affect other components that are installed on the same partition. The components include:
  • IBM Tivoli Monitoring for Databases - <name> Agent
  • IBM Tivoli Monitoring - <name> Agent
