Configuring AIM Organizations and Device Groups
This chapter describes how to set up Advanced Insight Manager (AIM) Organizations and associated settings. An Organization represents a customer site in Juniper Support Systems (JSS). Organizations provide a way to manage multiple sites with one AIM installation by dividing the network into multiple logical customer site.
If you install the AIM Base Product license, you can create one Organization. Install the AIM Multi-Site feature license to create more than one Organization,
An AIM Organization requires a unique name, site ID, login name, and password to communicate with JSS. The site ID is an identifier used to denote the Customer Site field currently used in the JSS Clarify system. You can associate an Organization with one or more device groups providing a way to maintain groups of devices belonging to different customer networks. You can associate one or more devices to each device group. You can also associate a device group with one to five archive locations. You can associate an archive location with one device group at a time. You can associate a device group to one or more user groups. You can associate a user group to one or more AIM users. See Figure 11.
Organizations contain device groups which are used to partition devices within one Organization. For more information about setting up a device group, see Creating Device Groups. Device groups are also used in conjunction with user groups to limit the access of users to certain groups of devices. See Setting Up AIM Users.
AIM integrates with Juniper Support Systems alert system by providing a way to register for alerts for each Organization. When alerts are registered through AIM, instead of the customer receiving e-mail messages, the alert messages are received by AIM then displayed in Intelligence Manager, see Associating Registered Alerts with Organizations and.
(Optional) You can use AIM to install AI-Script bundles (also known as AI-Script install packages) on devices as long as JUNOScope software is installed. AIM communicates with JUNOScope to install AI-Script bundles on JUNOS devices managed by JUNOScope. To configure auto installation of AI-Script bundles to devices, see Automatically Installing AI-Script Bundles
You can also manually configure and install AI-Script bundles on each device separately.
Only users with AIM Admin Settings privileges can configure Organizations and device groups.
