3.4 Setting business groups

The following prerequisites must be satisfied to set business groups:

• The IM databases (the integrated monitoring database and the IM Configuration Management database) are enabled.

  For details about how to enable the IM databases, see 1.4 Creating IM databases (for Windows) for Windows and 2.4 Creating IM databases (for UNIX) for UNIX.

• Information about the JP1 users that will manage the business groups is in hand.

  For details about the JP1 users for business groups, see 13.5.4 Considerations for business groups in the JP1/Integrated Management 3 - Manager Overview and System Design Guide.
