3.1 Registering hosts
To register hosts into IM Configuration Management, you need to operate IM Configuration Management - View. This section provides notes on registering hosts or changing attributes contained in host information. For details about the procedure of registering hosts into IM Configuration Management, see 3.1.1 Registering hosts.
-
You need to specify the names of the hosts managed by the manager.
-
A host name can consist of only one-byte alphanumeric characters and symbols (hyphen (-), period (.)).
-
On hosts that will be monitored remotely, the settings for allowing logs to be monitored must be completed in JP1/IM - Manager.
-
For host names, specify the host names that are registered in the hosts file or on the DNS server, or the host names defined in jp1hosts or jp1hosts2. If you perform remote monitoring, specify the host names that are registered in the hosts file or on the DNS server because the settings defined in jp1hosts or jp1hosts2 are not referenced.
-
Set a host name to be registered in IM Configuration Management so that the total number of characters in the host name and the installation path of JP1/IM -Manager does not exceed 235. If the total number exceeds 235, profiles cannot be collected from the monitored host.
-
If you use aliases to define hosts, do not assign multiple aliases to one host. If you do, the aliases are treated as different hosts despite indicating the same host.
-
Do not enter an IP address or an alias as a host name that is to be registered into the system hierarchy.
-
When you perform agent monitoring, the host name registered in IM Configuration Management must match the event server name of JP1/Base on the registered host. Similarly, the format (short name format or FQDN format) of the host name must also match that of the event server name. For details about how to register hosts using FQDNs, see 13.3.11 System configuration for managing monitored hosts with host names in FQDN format in the JP1/Integrated Management 2 - Manager Overview and System Design Guide. For details about how to change event server names, see the description about specifying event servers in systems using DNS in the JP1/Base User's Guide.
