Job Management Partner 1/Software Distribution Client Description and User's Guide

4.2 System configuration management

The managing server can recognize the system configuration based on the system configuration information reported from the distribution-destination systems. System configuration information includes the host name of the local system (value set in /etc/hostname) and corresponding IP addresses. This enables easy additions and changes to clients and definitions even in a large network, thus reducing the workload of network maintenance at the managing server.

For the managing server to acquire information of the system configuration, both of the following functions must be set.

System configuration management facility (JP1/Software Distribution Manager)

This function manages the configuration of the distribution-destination system. For details on the settings at the managing server, see the manual of individual managing servers.

Automatic registration function of the system configuration (JP1/Software Distribution Client)

This function reports the system configuration information of the local system automatically to the managing server. For details on the setting that will be set in the relay system and the distribution-destination system, see 4.2.1 Setting the automatic registration function of the system configuration shown below.
