Add/Configure a domain
A domain identifies the top level of your host group hierarchy.
If you are a Managed Services Partner, you will create a domain for each of your customers. Each domain must be associated with a host group that serves as the root of the customer's host group hierarchy and a license that governs the domain's entitlement. In this way, you can manage each customer environment separately.
To create a new domain
- Choose Admin > Domains > Domains.
The Domains page will display the configured domain with its respective host group.
- Click Add to display the Domain Administration window where you can configure the Domain's home host group, Alerting (SNMP trap details), and community performance statistics for a domain.
- In the Domain Administration window:
Enter a domain name.
Select a license from License entitlement. The licenses displayed depend on the license set for the parent domain and its entitlements become applicable to the domain and also to the users or user groups assigned to the domain.
A confirmation prompt is displayed if you change the license of a sub-domain. Also, you cannot change the license of the top-level domain.
Expand the host group list, then click on a host group that will be the home host group for this domain--that is, the host group that must be the root of the domain's hierarchy.
Click OK to create the domain.
Note:
A host group can serve as the root for only one domain. For example, you could have an Acme domain and then assign the Acme Corp host group to this domain. Once a domain is associated with a host group, this host group cannot become the root of any other domain.
