Abstract
When a policy for an IT asset is created in a system manager that manages one or more IT assets, other IT assets that are related to the selected IT asset are determined based on at least one relation criteria related to system topology. The system administrator is prompted to apply the same policy to the related systems. When the system administrator accepts the recommendation to apply the same policy to the related systems, a system group is defined that includes the selected computer system and the related systems, and the system group and its corresponding policy are displayed to the system administrator.
