4.2.1 Basic system configuration

The figure below shows an example of the basic system configuration for an asset management system linked to JP1/IT Desktop Management 2 - Manager. This example shows a basic configuration where the asset management server connects to the JP1/IT Desktop Management 2 - Manager server and acquires the asset information on the administrator's computer. The examples shown in 4.2.2 through 4.2.6 are also based on this system configuration.

The following points should be noted about your system configuration:

Asset management server
  • Asset Console cannot be installed on a machine on which JP1/NETM/Asset Information Manager, JP1/Asset Manager, or JP1/NETM/Asset Manager is installed.

  • The network must be configured so that the asset management server and JP1/IT Desktop Management 2 - Manager can view each other's host names and IP addresses.

  • Only one asset management server can be connected to one JP1/IT Desktop Management 2 - Manager program.

JP1/IT Desktop Management 2 - Manager server

You can place Asset Console and the JP1/IT Desktop Management 2 - Manager server on the same machine. However, if there are many devices to be managed and the machine will be accessed frequently from the administrator's computer, Hitachi recommends that you place the asset management server and the asset management database server on different machines.

Administrator's computer

If the environment supports Windows Internet Explorer 7, Windows Internet Explorer 8, Windows Internet Explorer 9, Windows Internet Explorer 10, or Windows Internet Explorer 11, no programs are required.
