8.5 Profile management
Using IM Configuration Management, you can centrally manage the JP1/Base profiles on the hosts in the system hierarchy (IM configuration) through the IM configuration management viewer.
To manage profiles with IM Configuration Management, the hosts must be added to the system hierarchy and JP1/Base must be active on each host.
This section describes the profiles you can manage by using IM Configuration Management, and the functionality provided for this purpose.
The supported profile management methods include the method that uses IM Configuration Management and the method that uses JP1/Base commands. If the versions of JP1/IM - Manager and of the agent's JP1/Base are both 11-10 or later, these two methods can be combined.
Some notes apply when IM Configuration Management's profile management is used together with JP1/Base's profile management. For details, see 8.5.10 Notes on using IM Configuration Management's profile management together with JP1/Base's profile management.
The following table describes the differences in profile management according to the combination of the version of JP1/IM - Manager and the version of JP1/Base on the agent.
