Grouping devices

HPDM enables you to manage your devices both individually and in groups. You can group your

devices in two ways:

●

Manually (using your own grouping definitions)

●

Dynamically (using the device asset information)

In addition, you can use the device asset information to filter the devices. This enables you to divide

your devices into sets and then assign those sets to specific administrators.

Setting group information using a DHCP tag

You can specify the grouping information a new device will use by setting DHCP tag 203.

Tag 203 enables you to set up to six grouping parameters that can then be used as part of a dynamic

grouping scheme. They are labelled

P1-P6

. You can specify any of the six in any order. In addition to

this, you can include a special parameter labelled

and set it to a path to use for manual grouping.

This path is used to create a subtree in the HPDM Console’s device tree when manual grouping is

selected.

For example, if the path is set to Company/Department/Group the device tree will show:
