E. Launching Tools from Remote Installation Manager
You can register a tool designed for a specific purpose and launch it from Remote Installation Manager. When you start the tool, you can use system configuration information for the host selected in Remote Installation Manager in arguments of the tool.
For example, if you register a tool that checks the connection status of a host specified by an IP address, Remote Installation Manager can automatically pass the IP address of the selected host to an argument of the tool. This means that there is no need to specify an IP address after the tool has started.
You can start registered tools from the Start Tools menu. You can display this menu from the following windows of Remote Installation Manager:
-
System Configuration window
-
Destination window
-
Find dialog box
The subsections below describe how to register and start tools in Remote Installation Manager, and provide an operation example.
