4.2 Setting system configuration information

The following figure shows an overview of how system configuration information is acquired from linked products and set in the Intelligent Integrated Management Base.

Figure 4‒1: Overview of acquiring system configuration information

[Figure]

The following steps correspond to the numbers shown in the figure:

  1. Define the system's hierarchical structure by using the system node definition file (imdd_systemnode.conf). (Optional)

    For details about the system node definition file, see System node definition file (imdd_systemnode.conf) in Chapter 2. Definition Files in the manual JP1/Integrated Management 2 - Manager Command, Definition File and API Reference.

  2. By using the category name definition file for IM management nodes (imdd_category_name.conf), define the names of the IM management nodes of the management groups so that collected data can be displayed in a sunburst or tree chart format. (Optional)

    For details about the category name definition file for IM management nodes, see Category name definition file for IM management nodes (imdd_category_name.conf) in Chapter 2. Definition Files in the manual JP1/Integrated Management 2 - Manager Command, Definition File and API Reference.

  3. By using the host name definition file (imdd_host_name.conf), define a mapping between the alias name and the actual host name. (Optional)

    This definition is necessary if you are to add a product in which an alias name can be specified as a host name to the IM management node configuration.

    For details about the host name definition file, see Host name definition file (imdd_host_name.conf) in Chapter 2. Definition Files in the manual JP1/Integrated Management 2 - Manager Command, Definition File and API Reference.

  4. Start JP1/IM - Manager and the JP1/IM database.

    Start JP1/IM - Manager and the JP1/IM database, and then acquire system configuration management information.

    For details about how to start the IM database, see 3.1 Starting JP1/IM - Manager in the JP1/Integrated Management 2 - Manager Administration Guide.

  5. Execute the jddsetaccessuser command to set the users who will access the products to be monitored while collecting system configuration information.

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

  6. By using the target host definition file for configuration collection (imdd_target_host.conf), define both the linked products and the names of the hosts from which to collect configuration information regarding the monitoring objects of the linked products. (Optional)

    For details about the target host definition file for configuration collection (imdd_target_host.conf), see Target host definition file for configuration collection (imdd_target_host.conf) in Chapter 2. Definition Files in the manual JP1/Integrated Management 2 - Manager Command, Definition File and API Reference.

  7. By executing the jddcreatetree command, generate the IM management node-related files.

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

    Open the created IM management node-related files and check their content. For details about the IM management node-related files, see the section explaining the IM management node-related files in the JP1/Integrated Management 2 - Manager Overview and System Design Guide.

  8. By using the IM management node link definition file (imdd_nodeLink_def.conf), define the links between the IM management nodes. (Optional)

    For details about the IM management node link definition file (imdd_nodeLink_def.conf), see IM management node link definition file (imdd_nodeLink_def.conf) in Chapter 2. Definition Files in the manual JP1/Integrated Management 2 - Manager Command, Definition File and API Reference.

  9. By executing the jddupdatetree command, apply the definitions to the Intelligent Integrated Management server.

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

Note

If you change the configuration of the IM management nodes, repeat this procedure starting from step 5.
