Use either of the following methods to collect host information:
-
From the menu bar, choose Operation and then Collect Host Information.
-
From the popup menu that opens when you right-click the mouse, choose Collect Host Information.
When a message confirming collection of information from the selected host is issued, click Yes. Information is collected from the selected host.

(2) Applying the system hierarchy information
To apply the system hierarchy information:

When the system hierarchy information is not applied, the tree in the IM Configuration tab in the IM Configuration Management window is displayed in gray.
Perform the following procedure to apply the system hierarchy information.
-
From the menu bar in the IM Configuration Management window, choose Edit and then Edit Agent Configuration.

(3) Applying the profile information
Merely importing the management information of IM Configuration Management does not apply the configuration file to the system. Use either of the following methods to apply the configuration file:
-
Batch-apply the configuration file
-
Apply the configuration file to hosts individually
For details about how to apply the configuration file, see 3.5.1(6) Applying edited information in configuration files in the JP1/Integrated Management 2 - Manager Configuration Guide.
If you are acquiring a system's current profile information, there is no need to apply the profile information. You can simply batch-collect profiles. For details about how to collect profile lists, see 3.5.1(1) Collecting profile lists in the JP1/Integrated Management 2 - Manager Configuration Guide.
