2.1.1 Procedure for setting up a system by using IM Configuration Management
To set up a system, you use IM Configuration Management, which allows you to centrally manage the hierarchical configuration of hosts in the system. The following describes how to define the basic configuration system shown in 1.2.1 Overview of a basic configuration system.
To define a system hierarchy:
-
Register hosts into IM Configuration Management.
-
Use IM Configuration Management to define the system hierarchy.
This manual describes how to use IM Configuration Management to define the hierarchy for a basic configuration system for a new installation of JP1/IM - Manager.
- Organization of this subsection
(1) Registering the hosts into IM Configuration Management
You need to register the manager and agents into IM Configuration Management to define a system hierarchy. The following describes how to register the hosts into IM Configuration Management.
Prerequisites
The following conditions must be satisfied:
-
The IM Configuration Management database has been configured and enabled according to 1.3.4(4) Setting up an IM Configuration Management database (for Windows) or 1.4.4(4) Setting up an IM Configuration Management database (for Linux).
-
JP1/Base is installed on each agent.
-
IM Configuration Management - View is set up on the viewer.
Procedure
-
From the Windows Start menu, select Programs, JP1_Integrated Management - View, and then Configuration Management. The Login window appears.
-
Enter jp1admin for User name, jp1admin for Password, and admin for Host to connect, and then log in. The IM Configuration Management window appears.
-
In the IM Configuration Management window, select the Host List tab, and then select Edit, and then Register Host. The Register Host window appears.
-
Register the host to IM Configuration Management according to the system hierarchy described in 1.2.1 Overview of a basic configuration system.
Because admin is the local host, it has already been registered. Register hosts A, B, 1, and 2 to IM Configuration Management according to the following figure.
