Grouping Managed Products, Endpoints, or Child Servers
Consider the following when you group managed products and child servers:
TABLE 2-1. Considerations Grouping Managed Products or Child Servers
CONSIDERATION DESCRIPTION
Company network and security policies If different access and sharing rights apply
to the company network, group managed
products, endpoints, and child servers
according to company network and
security policies.
Organization and function Group managed products, endpoints, and
child servers according to the company's
organizational and functional division. For
example, have two Control Manager
servers that manage the production and
testing groups.
Geographical location Use geographical location as a grouping
criterion if the location of the managed
products, endpoints, and child servers
affects the communication between the
Control Manager server and its managed
products, endpoints, or child servers.
Administrative responsibility Group managed products, endpoints, and
child servers according to system or
security personnel assigned to them. This
allows group configuration.
Determining the Number of Sites
Determine how many sites your Control Manager deployment will cover. You need this
information to determine the number of servers to install, as well as where to install the
servers.
Gather this information from your organization’s WAN or LAN topology charts.
