Creating a Clone Group

Discrepancy Reports can be generated for clone targets only through a special
process. See
Creating a Discrepancy Report for a Clone on page 18-14.
Creating a Clone Group
You create a Clone Group by modifying the target description text for logical targets in
the Planner Interface.
Task 1: Define a Master Target
1. In the Configuration Revisions window, select the system you want to be the
master target. This can be a Host or Target system.
2. From the Maintain menu, select Target Maintenance->Modify.
The default information for that system appears.
3. In the Target description field, enter <MASTER> as the initial text. It must be the
first text in the description, followed by a space and then the rest of the description
text.
For future reference, you should add text explaining that this target is a master. For
example:
<MASTER> This is a master target. Configurations installed on
\master-sysname will also be installed on targets with <CLONE
\master-sysname in their Target descriptions.
4. Click OK.
This system is now defined as a master target.
Task 2: Define Clone Targets
1. In the Configuration Revisions window, select the system you want to be a clone in
this clone group.
2. From the Maintain menu, select Target Maintenance->Modify.
The default information for that system appears.
3. In the Target description field, enter <CLONE \master-sysname> as the initial
text. It must be the first text in the description, followed by a space and then the
rest of the description text.
For future reference, you should add text explaining that this is a clone target. For
example:
<CLONE \master-sysname> This is a clone of \master-sysname.
Configurations installed on \master-sysname will also be
installed on this target, regardless of any other attributes
specified here.
4. Click OK.
