6.2.4 Verifying the system hierarchy

Using IM Configuration Management, you can check whether the configuration definition information held by JP1/Base on each of the hosts in the JP1/IM system matches the information in the IM Configuration Management database.

Verify the system hierarchy on the IM Configuration page of the IM Configuration Management window.

The figure below shows the flow of processing when verifying the system hierarchy with IM Configuration Management.

Figure 6-15 Verifying the system hierarchy with IM Configuration Management

The table below describes the range of hosts whose system configuration information you can verify from the integrated manager.

Table 6-8 Range of hosts whose system configuration information can be verified from the integrated manager

Host type Verify

Local host Y

Relay manager Y

Base manager Y

Agent Directly under the local host Y

Under a relay manager Y

Under a base manager N^#

Legend:

Y: The information can be verified.

N: The information cannot be verified.

#

An agent under a base manager might not be reachable from the integrated manager if it is behind a firewall. For this type of agent, verify the configuration definition information from the base manager.

The table below describes the range of hosts whose system configuration information you can verify from a base manager.

Table 6-9 Range of hosts whose system configuration information can be verified from a base manager

Host type Verify

Local host Y

Parent host N

Relay manager Y^#1

Base manager Y^#1

Agent Directly under the local host Y^#1

Under a relay manager Y^#1

Under a lower-level base manager N^#2

Legend:

Y: The information can be verified.

N: The information cannot be verified.

#1

Not recommended because the system configuration, including the integrated manager, would be more than three tiers.

#2

An agent under a lower-level base manager might not be reachable from the integrated manager if it is behind a firewall. For this type of agent, verify the configuration definition information from the lower-level base manager.

You can check the verification results in the following windows:

Host List page or IM Configuration page of the IM Configuration Management window

Execution Results window

If the information held by JP1/Base on the manager running IM Configuration Management differs from the information in the IM Configuration Management database, the affected hosts are represented by error-status icons in the tree display area of the IM Configuration page.

If verification fails, an error-status icon is displayed for the affected host in the tree display area of the IM Configuration page.

Configuration definition information cannot be verified on hosts running a version of JP1/Base earlier than version 9. In this case, the affected hosts are represented by error-status icons in the tree display area of the IM Configuration page.

If no configuration definition information exists on the manager, or if the information is corrupted, manager verification generates an error and the processing is canceled.
