Setting

Description

Hardware information

Specify hardware managed in JP1/UCMDB.

JP1/UCMDB server

Specify the name of the server on which JP1/UCMDB is installed.

Before you can specify this, you must set up an environment for linkage with JP1/UCMDB. For details, see 9.16.4 Setting an environment for linking with JP1/UCMDB.

Type

Specify the type of the value specified as hardware information. You can specify one of the following types:

  • Host name

  • IP address

  • UCMDB ID

You can specify the above settings by using the Link Setting window for Hardware information settings. After these settings are specified, the values in the Hardware information field are displayed as links. When you click a link, JP1/UCMDB opens the Device Details dialog box, which displays details of the hardware information. If you specify host name or IP address as the type, no anchor text is set for the information displayed in the Hardware information field when the relevant hardware information is not found in JP1/UCMDB. If you specify UCMDB ID as the type, anchor text is set for the information displayed in the Hardware information field even when the relevant hardware information is not found in JP1/UCMDB. When you click the anchor text, JP1/UCMDB opens the Device Details dialog box, but displays a message indicating that no hardware information is found.

If the JP1/UCMDB connection fails, no anchor text is set for the information displayed in the Hardware information field.

When the Device Details dialog box of JP1/UCMDB is opened by clicking anchor text, the Device Details dialog box might close when the Example window appears. If this occurs, close the Example window once by clicking the button to close it. The Device Detail dialog box will reappear.

If multiple devices are available for which hardware information can be referenced, the Select device window appears. In the Select device window, you can select the device for which you want to reference hardware information.
