6.1 Host management
Using IM Configuration Management, you can operate the IM configuration management viewer to manage hosts on the network. The following types of host management are available:
-
Registering, listing, and deleting hosts
You can register the hosts below in IM Configuration Management as management targets. You can also list or delete the registered hosts.
-
Hosts in agent configuration, on which JP1/Base is running (hereinafter called agent hosts)
-
Hosts in a remote monitoring configuration, for which settings for remote communication have been configured (hereinafter called remotely monitored hosts)
-
Hosts in virtualization configuration
-
-
Collecting information from hosts
You can acquire information including the host name and the IP address of the host (hereinafter called host information) and product information from JP1/Base on each agent host. You can also acquire the host name, IP address, and information about the OS from each remotely monitored host.
Managing agents requires JP1/Base to be running on the management-target agent hosts. Also, managing remotely monitored hosts requires that the remote communication settings be complete.
-
Changing the attributes of host information
You can change the attributes (the host name, host type, comment, active host, standby host, and settings for remote communication) of each host.

System common settings
For remotely monitored hosts, you can save and manage the setting values for host information as common values.
This section describes the host information you can manage by using IM Configuration Management, and the functionality provided for this purpose.
