Creating Managed Instance Groups
Create managed instance group resources in OS Management Hub, including groups, group profiles, and associated scheduled jobs, before migrating instances to OS Management Hub.
For simplicity and efficiency, we recommend that you use the migration assistant tool to perform this task. For more information, see Installing the Migration Assistant.
Using the Migration Assistant
Use the osms-to-osmh create managed-instance-group
command and required parameters to create managed instance groups in OS Management Hub. Additionally, the migration assistant creates the group profile and associated scheduled jobs for the group in OS Management Hub.
For example, to create all managed instance groups you have in OS Management:
osms-to-osmh create managed-instance-group
The command first runs the discovery operation in case your environment has changed and then creates the group, group profile, and associated scheduled jobs.
The following is sample output:
$ osms-to-osmh create managed-instance-group --compartment ocid1.compartment.oc1..<unique_ID>
