7.2.7 Synchronizing the system hierarchy

When using IM Configuration Management, if the system hierarchy is defined on base managers, you must synchronize the system hierarchy between the integrated manager and the base managers.

For details, see 3.2.4(3) Applying a system hierarchy to a system managed by IM Configuration Management in the JP1/Integrated Management 2 - Manager Configuration Guide.

To synchronize information among the systems, use the Host List page or IM Configuration page of the IM Configuration Management window.

Figure 7‒14: Synchronizing configuration definition information with IM Configuration Management

[Figure]

When you synchronize configuration definition information, the jbsrt_sync command is executed on the integrated manager. This command collects and synchronizes the information on the integrated manager, and then updates the configuration definition information on all the hosts in the system hierarchy. Also, information about the remote monitoring configuration managed by base managers is collected. To synchronize the remote monitoring configuration, the version of JP1/IM - Manager must be 09-50 or later and the IM Configuration Management service must be running on base managers. If the IM Configuration Management service is not running, an error message appears, and acquisition of the remote monitoring configuration fails. You can ignore the error message indicating the failure of acquiring the remote monitoring configuration if only synchronization of agent configuration is required. If synchronization of a remote monitoring configuration is also required, start the IM Configuration Management service. The hosts in the IM configuration (agent configuration and remote monitoring configuration) managed by each base manager appear grayed out under the base manager in the tree display area of the IM Configuration Management window.

If no base managers are defined under the integrated manager, an error message is displayed and the system hierarchy is not synchronized among the hosts.
