Manually Adding EM Grid Control Host Targets

I had some hosts cloned from other hosts that have EM Grid Control agent installed and managed by one EM Grid Control server. The new cloned hosts will be managed by the second EM Grid Control server.

In order to add the new cloned host targets into the second EM Grid Control server, we can run EM Grid agent configuration assisstant (agentca) to reconfiure (-f option) or rediscover(-d option). Note EM Grid control doesn't support to add host targets directly from the control console.

Either rediscover(-d) or reconfigure(-f) option is mandatory
