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
