2.7.6 Integrated agent host management Administration Database
Building integrated agent host management Database on Intelligent Integrated Management Database allows you to centrally manage the configuration management required for JP1/IM - Manager to work with agent, such as integrated agent host and your own OSS, on integrated agent host DB.
- Organization of this subsection
(1) Configuration of Database
See 2.7.1(1)(a) Database configuration in Intelligent Integrated Management Database.
(2) Installation and Setup
Build integrated agent host management Database on Intelligent Integrated Management Database to manage the configuration controls required to work with agent.
For information about building an Intelligent Integrated Management Database (integrated agent host management Database), see the description about construction of Intelligent Integrated Management Database in the JP1/Integrated Management 3 - Manager Configuration Guide.
(3) Keeping integrated agent host Info
(a) Function Overview
Keep information about integrated agent host in JP1/IM - Manager's integrated agent host Administration DB. The scope of the information to persist is agent host itself directly connected to JP1/IM - Manager and its add-on program. In a lower manager configuration, the information under lower manager not connected to integrated manager is out of the range.
(b) Data Storage Duration
The table is created automatically when you set up Intelligent Integrated Management Database. Data records are added or updated only when integrated agent is started (to reflect the difference in information).
The added data records are deleted by either unsetting up the Intelligent Integrated Management Database or by an action in the List of Integrated Agents window.
(4) Retaining the Info Used for Communications Between the Manager agent
(a) Function Overview
- ■Managing Message Requests Between JP1/IM agent base
-
This function sends requests from the manager host for command execution, file transmission, and file reception to integrated agent host and distributes the executions to the processes in integrated agent (imagent).
Integrated agent host Administration DB in JP1/IM - Manager creates a table that manages requests that are accepted to execute.
- ■Managing initial secret
-
The manager host communicates with integrated agent host using client secret issued for each integrated agent host to perform authentication. Prior to deploying client secret, you can issue an initial secret that can be temporarily used by any integrated agent host. For more information, see 3.15.7(1)(b) Authentication with initial secret.
You can also issue initial secret and client secret for use in conjunction with your own OSS, for example. For more information, see 3.7 Initial secret and client secret.
Create a table in JP1/IM - Manager's integrated agent host administration DB to manage these secrets.
(b) Data Storage Duration
The table is created automatically when you set up Intelligent Integrated Management Database. It is deleted by Intelligent Integrated Management Database unsetting.
