The Add-SCOMTieredManagementGroup cmdlet adds a tiered management group to a management group.
A tiered management group is part of a connected management group that has peer-to-peer connections between its members and that shares member data in a single System Center - Operations Manager console.
Examples
Example 1: Add a tiered management group
PS C:\>Add-SCOMTieredManagementGroup -Name "New Tier" -ServerName "SCOM02.contoso.com" -ConnectionCredential (Get-Credential)
This command adds a tiered management group named New Tier to the server named SCOM02.contoso.com.
Example 2: Add a tiered management group that is available to connectors
PS C:\>Add-SCOMTieredManagementGroup -Name "New Tier for Connectors" -ServerName "SCOM02.contoso.com" -ConnectionCredential (Get-Credential) -AvailableForConnectors -RunAsAccount (Get-SCOMRunAsAccount "TierAccount")
This command adds a new tiered management group named New Tier for Connectors to the server named SCOM02.contoso.com.
This tiered management group is available to connectors and uses the Run As account named TierAccount.
Parameters
-AvailableForConnectors
Indicates that the new tier is available for connectors.
