2.7 Setting the system hierarchy (when IM Configuration Management is used) (for UNIX)

This section describes how to set the system hierarchy (IM configuration) when IM Configuration Management is used. For details about how to set the system hierarchy when IM Configuration Management is not used, see 2.8 Setting the system hierarchy (when IM Configuration Management is not used) (for UNIX).

When you use IM Configuration Management, you must use IM Configuration Management - View to set the manager and agent hierarchical structure of the system that is managed by JP1/IM.

You can also use the export and import functions of IM Configuration Management to migrate a system configuration from a test environment to the operating environment or from the environment before a change to the environment after the change.

The export and import functions of IM Configuration Management enable you to specify settings for managing a system hierarchy that includes virtual hosts (virtualization system configuration), as well as settings for using Central Scope for monitoring.

When you use IM Configuration Management to manage your system hierarchy and perform the following operations, the configuration definition information held in IM Configuration Management does not match that held in JP1/Base.

Therefore, when you use IM Configuration Management to manage your system hierarchy, we recommend that you use it to integrally manage your system hierarchy.

When you use JP1/Base functionality to distribute the definition of your system hierarchy, you need to obtain the system hierarchy. This will enable IM configuration Management to match the configuration definition information held in both IM Configuration Management and JP1/Base. If the system hierarchy is not obtained, operation will malfunction because of mismatched the configuration definition information.
