Adds a connector to a management group tier.

Syntax

Add-SCOMTierConnector
   -Connector <MonitoringConnector>
   -Tier <TieredManagementGroup>
   [-PassThru]
   [-SCSession <Connection[]>]
   [-ComputerName <String[]>]
   [-Credential <PSCredential>]
   [-WhatIf]
   [-Confirm]
   [<CommonParameters>]

Description

The Add-SCOMTierConnector cmdlet adds a connector to a System Center - Operations Manager management group tier. Connectors communicate monitoring information between systems in a tiered management group.

Examples

Example 1: Add a connector to a tiered management group

PS C:\>$Tier = Get-SCOMTieredManagementGroup | Select-Object -First 1
PS C:\> Add-SCOMConnector -Name MyProductConnector | Add-SCOMTierConnector -Tier $Tier

This example adds a connector to an existing tiered management group.

The first command gets tiered management groups from the server, and passes them to the Select-Object cmdlet by using the pipeline operator. That cmdlet selects the first tiered management group. For more information, type Get-Help Select-Object. The command stores the first tiered management group in the $Tier variable.

The second command adds a connector named MyProductConnector. The command then passes output to the Add-SCOMTierConnector cmdlet by using the pipeline operator. That cmdlet adds the connector to the tiered management group in the $Tier variable.

Parameters

-ComputerName

Specifies an array of names of computers. The cmdlet establishes temporary connections with management groups for these computers. Valid formats include a NetBIOS name, an IP address, or a fully qualified domain name (FQDN). To specify the local computer, specify the computer name, localhost, or a dot (.).

The computer must run the System Center Data Access service.

If you do not specify this parameter, the default is the computer for the current management group connection.

Type:String[]
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-Confirm

Prompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet.

Type:SwitchParameter
Aliases:cf
Position:Named
Default value:False
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-Connector

Specifies the System Center - Operations Manager connector.

Type:MonitoringConnector
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:True
Accept pipeline input:True
Accept wildcard characters:False

-Credential

Specifies a PSCredential object for the management group connection. To obtain a PSCredential object, use the Get-Credential cmdlet. For more information, type Get-Help Get-Credential.

If you specify a computer in the ComputerName parameter, use an account that has access to that computer. The default is the current user.

Type:PSCredential
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-PassThru

Indicates that the cmdlet creates an object. This parameter allows you to use this cmdlet in a pipeline. By default, this cmdlet does not generate any output.

Type:SwitchParameter
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-SCSession

Specifies an array of Connection objects. To get Connection objects, specify the Get-SCOMManagementGroupConnection cmdlet.

If you do not specify a value for this parameter, the cmdlet uses the active persistent connection to a management group. Use the SCSession parameter to specify a different persistent connection. You can create a temporary connection to a management group by using the ComputerName and Credential parameters. For more information, type Get-Help about_OpsMgr_Connections.

Type:Connection[]
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-Tier

Specifies the tiered management group in Operations Manager.

Type:TieredManagementGroup
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:True
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-WhatIf

Shows what would happen if the cmdlet runs. The cmdlet is not run.

Type:SwitchParameter
