7.3.5 Importing into the Central Scope

You can monitor a virtualization system configuration managed by IM Configuration Management, by using the Central Scope.

The following figure shows an example of displaying a virtualization system configuration in the Central Scope viewer.

Figure 7‒21: Example of displaying a virtualization system configuration in the Central Scope viewer

You can monitor a virtualization system configuration in the Central Scope by the following two methods.

Organization of this subsection

(1) Using commands for importing virtualization configuration information into the Central Scope
(2) Using the IM configuration management viewer to apply virtualization configuration information to the Central Scope

(1) Using commands for importing virtualization configuration information into the Central Scope

You can export virtualization configuration information managed by IM Configuration Management, convert it by executing the jcfmkcsdata command, and then import the information into the Central Scope.

The following figure illustrates how virtualization configuration information is imported into the Central Scope.

Figure 7‒22: Importing virtualization configuration information into the Central Scope

The flow of importing virtualization configuration information into the Central Scope is described below, following the numbers in the figure:

Execute the jcfexport command to output the system hierarchy, host information, and definition information that are managed by IM Configuration Management.
Execute the jcsdbexport command to output the monitoring tree information shown in the Central Scope. (This information is saved in the monitoring object database of JP1/IM - Manager.)
Execute the jcfmkcsdata command to merge the files output in steps 1 and 2.
Execute the jcsdbimport command to import the merged file created in step 3 into the Central Scope.

For details about each command, see Chapter 1. Commands in the manual JP1/Integrated Management 2 - Manager Command, Definition File and API Reference.

(2) Using the IM configuration management viewer to apply virtualization configuration information to the Central Scope

You can use the IM configuration management viewer to apply virtualization system configuration to the Central Scope. To perform this operation, the following permissions are required for the JP1 user logged in to the IM configuration management viewer:

JP1 resource group: JP1_Console
JP1 permission level: JP1_Console_Admin

Applying virtualization system configuration to the Central Scope updates the monitoring tree in the Central Scope.

The following figure is an example of displaying the monitoring tree in the Central Scope.

Figure 7‒23: Example of displaying the monitoring tree in the Central Scope

We recommend that you use the IM configuration management viewer to apply virtualization system configuration into the Central Scope if the following condition is met:

Monitoring is performed by using an automatically-generated or customized server-oriented tree.
