Group Structure |
|
|
This may be a little hard to explain but I would really like to know what if
anything I am doing wrong so here it goes.
I am trying to design a structure in MOM that fits my environment. What I
have done is created a computer group called site group, this acts as the
“root” group. Under this group I have created each sites own computer group
which I added those sites servers. I then created the same thing for rules;
created a root rule group and then below that each rule group is associated
to its corresponding computer group. Within each sites rule group, I crated a
single rule for information or better witch correlates to a notification
group for each site. (Notification groups structure are flat, no root
notification group) Here is where the problem starts. If lets say Group3 gets
an alert it seems to notify not just its notification group but all the
notification groups that are within the root structure instead of just that
sites notification group. Any idea why this might happen? Does all computer
groups and associated rule groups have to come of the Computer group root?
Can you not create a "directory" like structure for computer groups and rule
groups?

Steven,
Rules applied to a sub-group of a Computer Group will also apply to the
parent group as well. From what I understand, this will change in the
next version of MOM.

Thanks for your assistance. Direct and very helpful!
I am a bit surprised that MS didn’t structure this hierarchy like
everything else. I mean, nestled groups, subdirectories etc. It just seems
natural to organize things in this way.

As David pointed out with the current MOM limitation, what you can do right
now is create all the computer group for each site at the parent level. Do
the same thing for the rule group. Create alert rule on each rule group and
tie it to the right notification group. Then associate respective CG and RG.
This will provide you with way around for your current problem.
Once Microsoft includes child level association capability without reverse
inheritence in their future release, you can go back and create a new CG at
the top level and move your old CGs under this one. However you will have to
recreate RGs, copy rules and put it under a new RG. Finally associate correct
RGs with CGs. Hope this helps. Let me know how this goes.
