Creating an MSL using TEP

Use the Tivoli Enterprise Portal (TEP) to create a managed systems list (MSL) for the tenant.

Before you begin

Review the content in Defining a Managed Systems List (MSL).

About this task

Use the Object Group Editor in the Tivoli Enterprise Portal (TEP) to create one or more MSLs for each tenant. One MSL must be created for each managed system type.

Perform the following steps for each MSL to create.

Notes:

A managed systems list is referred to as a managed system group in the TEP.
For more information about using the Object Group Editor, see the IBM Tivoli Monitoring: Tivoli Enterprise Portal User's Guide.

Procedure

Click the Object Group Editor icon in the Tivoli Enterprise Portal.
Under Groups, if the Managed system node is collapsed, expand it.
Click one of the available managed system types, then click Create new group.
Type a descriptive name for the managed system group and click OK.
The new managed system group is displayed in the managed system folder.
Select a managed system from the Available Managed Systems list and move it to the Assigned list. You can select multiple managed systems by holding down Ctrl while clicking each managed system. You can also, after selecting a managed system, use Shift+click to select all managed systems between this selection and the first selection.
Save your changes and either keep the editor open with Apply or exit with OK. The managed system group is now available.
