Multitenancy and Hierarchies
If you have the multitenancy option installed, you can limit a hierarchy’s visibility to a tenant site,
or to the entire system. You can also import hierarchies to target multitenant domains with a
command line importer. The command is
importcontainers and is in the owareapps/redcell/
bin directory. This command takes the import file name an argument. The required domains
should be available in the OpenManage Network Manager system before import occurs. Example
XML files (with the
<customer> tag for domains) are in the owareapps\redcell\db directory.
Hierarchical View Editor
The Hierarchical View editor lets you create and manage hierarchies. You can also associate user
authorizations with hierarchy models to specify which groups or users have access to contained
items.
In this editor, a tree panel on the left lets you build and navigate the hierarchical tree. Click
Add
Child (
or Delete Child) to create (or remove) a node to/from the node you have selected in the
tree. Clicking a node in the tree displays the tabbed panel on the right where you can edit it.
The Hierarchical View Details panel has the following tabs:
•
General
• Membership
• Authorizations
• Hierarchical View Display
Click the labels at the top of the screen to access these. Alarm states and severities are recalculated
and propagated for hierarchies as they are for
System Topology on page 240.
General
This panel has the following fields:
Name —The hierarchical view identifier.
Description —A text description of the hierarchical view.
Domain/Site Access —If you have the Multitenancy option installed, to expose a hierarchical view
or sub-hierarchical view within a site the hierarchy must specify that site. You can confine a
hierarchical view’s contents to what is visible on a single site. All hierarchical view contents
are visible for the master site.
