Appendix B.4 Creating a destination group that contains only security PCs

You can remotely install update data only to the security PCs. You must therefore create a destination group that allows you to specify only the security PCs as the job destination.

To create the destination group:

  1. Display the Destination window of Remote Installation Manager, choose File and then Create Host Group.
    The Create Host Group dialog box is displayed.
  2. Select Create a host group, specify the name of the destination group to be created, and then click the Execute button.
    A destination group having the specified name is created. Click the Exit button to close the Create Host Group dialog box.
  3. Display the System Configuration window of Remote Installation Manager, choose Options and then Find.
    The Find dialog box is displayed.
  4. On the Find by Dates page, specify the following:
    • Select The hosts made within a certain period.
    • Select Range, and specify the range from the date when security PCs were first registered to the system configuration information to the current date.
      If you do not know the date when security PCs were first registered, select For the past and then specify 999 months.
  5. Click the Find button.
    The search is started, and the search results are displayed in the Date-based Search Result list.
  6. Click the Host ID column heading in the Date-based Search Result list.
    The hosts in the search results are sorted in ascending order of host ID. Hosts with a host ID that starts with #C00000000000000 are security PCs.

  7. Select all hosts with a host ID that starts with #C00000000000000, right-click, and choose Copy.
  8. Return to the Destination window of Remote Installation Manager, select the destination group that you created in step 2, right-click, and choose Paste.
    The hosts that you selected in step 7 are pasted to the selected destination group. You have now created a destination group that contains only the security PCs.

Each time you remotely install update data to the security PCs, Hitachi recommends that you re-create the destination group according to this procedure. If you use the previous destination group, any security PCs that are added after the previous destination group was created are not included in the destinations.
