Group Definitions
info
The product name for this user guide has changed from Foundation and Cloudscape to Business Service Discovery and Migration Planning. Previous UI pages known as Foundation have changed to Business Service Discovery. Previous UI pages known as CloudScape have changed to Migration Planning.
The following table lists group definitions.
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| RSG Groups (aka Infrastructure Service Groups) | Servers in these groups match an existing profile for the particular application group they are placed. For details, see the table in Infrastructure Service Groups. |
| AutoApp_XX Groups | Any device that does not match a predefined profile will be grouped into an AutoApp group based on its critical connectivity. |
| Isolated Devices | Devices in this group have had connectivity collected (there is an existing connectivity record where the specific device is either the source or destination of the connection), but none of the collected connections or processes would cause the specific server to join into an AutoApp or RSG Group. |
| No Connectivity | Any device where there is not an existing connectivity record where it is either the source or destination of the connection will end up in the No Connectivity group. (i.e. we do not have any connectivity to or from this device) |
| RSG-95th Highly Connected Stack | Is the top 5% of hosts by connectivity in the network that are available to go into AutoApp_XX groups. In other words, it is the list of servers that talk the MOST that are not RSG eligible. |
| RSG-Out of Scope Services | IP addresses and / or device names will appear in this group if they are offering one of the following services: MSSQL, MySQL, oracle, NFS, or iSCSI, but are either not licensed, or their IP is out of scope (not included in the subnet ranges requested to be scanned). |
| AutoSchemaDependency_XX | Any device who has a connection collected from our database collection module, as described in Database Module. |
Infrastructure Service Groups
The Intelligent Application Grouping Algorithm identifies and isolates devices which provide infrastructure-critical services. These infrastructure services should not be considered part of any individual Business Service, but rather as a distinct type of IT property which may be evaluated and managed separately from the more business-logic-driven stacks which our algorithm identifies based on common connectivity.
Here is a list of all of the Infrastructure Service Groups we currently create. If any servers in your environment fit into one of these groups, the group will be automatically created and the server will be placed into it, rather than into a Business Service group. Note that for historical reasons, the moniker “RSG” is appended to all Infrastructure Service Groups.
