Hi,

Are there any issues in having 2 way connected management groups in 2007R2.

Site 1 is used in Jan, with Site 2 in standby but we want to see Alerts for Site 2 on site 1 so have connected Site 1 to Site 2 via connected management groups.

Following month site 2 is used with site 1 in standby, we can view Site 2 alerts via site 1 but not the rest of site 2 information

So if we link Site 2 to Site 1 we could monitor site 1 with site 2 in detail?

This a good idea or are there big overheads xfering info both ways?

Thanks

Hi,

>So if we link Site 2 to Site 1 we could monitor site 1 with site 2 in detail?

No, you could not. Connected management group doesn't show you anything but alerts.

Yes, I know that, but that is what I want.

I want one site in full detail and alerts from the other and the same the other way around. 

I was just worried that having both connected to each other would be a massive overhead?

Hi,

As the connected management group is mainly for viewing and interacting with all the alerts and other monitoring data, I think this should related to the amount of the data.

Thanks.

Sorry to bump this, but I feel the above didn't really answer my question and it has come up again.

Anyone connect two management groups both ways?  A->B and B->A

Thanks
