8.1.3 Collecting information from hosts

This subsection explains how to collect host information from the IM Configuration Management database.

You can collect information from the specified host. Execute host information collection immediately after a host has been registered, or when information about the host itself or about software installed on the host has been updated in any of the following circumstances:

• OS change
• IP address change
• Software change
  
  • Software installation or uninstallation
  • Software version upgrade

When you execute host information collection, the profile list is cleared. After you have collected host information, collect the latest profile list when you open the Display/Edit Profiles window.

You can collect host information from the Host List page or IM Configuration page of the IM Configuration Management window.

To collect host information from the Host List page or IM Configuration page of the IM Configuration Management window:

1. In the IM Configuration Management window, click the Host List or IM Configuration tab.
   The Host List page or IM Configuration page opens.
   
2. From the tree pane, select a host.
   If the selected host has lower-order hosts, you can also select a host from the Lower Host Information list that is displayed when you click the Lower Host Information button. In this case, you can select multiple hosts at the same time.
   
3. Use either of the following methods to collect the host information:
   
   • From the menu bar, choose Operation and then Collect Host Information.
   • From the popup menu that opens when you right-click the mouse, choose Collect Host Information.
   When a message is issued confirming collection of information from the selected host, click Yes. Information is collected from the selected host. If multiple hosts were selected, you can check the execution results in the Log window.
   

After the execution of host information collection, you can check the status of the host on the Host List page. If the collection option failed, the host icon in the tree pane on the Host List page is displayed in gray. You can view the details by clicking the Basic Information button in the node information display area of the Host List page.
