Create Domain elements
Only administrators that have unrestricted permissions can create Domains.
Before you begin
To create or manage Domains, you must log on to the active Management Server.
You can create as many Domains as you need. Your Domain license defines how many Domains you can create.
A service break for the SMC is highly recommended when introducing Domains into the system, assigning the existing elements to the correct Domains, and changing the administrator accounts.
