Creating a CIM dynamic group

You can use the Task Based Group Editor to create new dynamic group filters that are based on combinations of tasks that apply to managed systems that are CIM-enabled.

Complete the following steps to create a dynamic group for CIM-enabled systems:
  1. Right-click in the Groups pane of the Director Console to display the context menu.
  2. Click New Task Based Group.
  3. In the Available Resources pane of the Task Group Editor window, click CIM Browser and then click Add to add the selection to the Selected Criteria pane. Selecting CIM Browser creates a filtering criteria for managed systems that are CIM-enabled.
  4. Click Save As to save the new group with a name of your choosing.
  5. Type a descriptive name for the group (for example, "CIM-enabled systems").
  6. Click Close Group Editor to save your group and exit the dialog.
  7. Refresh the IBM Director Console with a discovery operation, and the new group is displayed in the Groups pane.
  8. Click your new group to see which managed systems match the CIM criteria. CIM-enabled systems, if discovered, are listed in the Groups pane.
