4.3.1 System information management
- Organization of this subsection
(1) System information
By executing a job from the managing server, you can collect and manage hardware information for the distribution-destination system (host name, IP address, disc size, memory size, and so on.). This information is called system information.
Understanding of the system information for the distribution-destination system at the managing server can prevent problems such as insufficient memory in the distribution-destination system during package distribution. System configuration information manages information about network configurations such as the host name, IP address, workstation type, and connection methods. System information contains hardware information for the distribution-destination system, such as the host name, IP address, disk space, free memory, and so on.
For details on how to collect and view system information, see the manual for managing server.
Note that the system information can be reported to the managing server when the information is updated in the distribution-destination system or when a new distribution-destination system is added.
(2) How to collect the system information
You can collect all of the system information by either of the following methods:
-
Executing a job to collect the system information
-
Automatic reporting of updated inventory information
