No problem. Everyone has a different take on how things get done. Sometimes. 
there is no one way to do something in TSM.

Subject: Re: [ADSM-L] Collocation by group


I misread your note, and I apologize. What I wrote made sense if you
were asking about a node that was already known to TSM but hadn't been
in the collocated pool before you added it to the collocation group. But
you're describing a situation with a new node to TSM, and my answer
makes no sense on that context. I apologize for the resulting confusion.
