4.1.1 Adding managed hosts
You use the Operations-Manager Console to set the hosts that are to be managed. These are the hosts on which an Operations-Manager Agent is to run. If the version of Operations-Manager Agent is earlier than version 10-00, you must standardize on an English or a Japanese language environment. If the Japanese language environment is used, there is no need to standardize the character code to be used (SJIS, EUC, or UTF-8).
To add managed hosts:
-
At the Operations-Manager Console, from the Edit menu, choose Host List.
The Define Managed Hosts dialog box appears.
Figure 4‒2: The Define Managed Hosts dialog box -
Specify the address and display name, separated by a comma, of a managed host that is to be added.
host-address[,name-to-display[,port-number]]
- host-address
-
Specifies a host name or IP address of the managed host. This item is mandatory.
- name-to-display ((0 to 15-byte character string))
-
Specifies a name to be displayed for the managed host on the Operations-Manager Console window.
This item is optional. If it is omitted, the specified host address is displayed.
- port-number
-
Specifies the port number of the managed host.
Specification of a port number is optional. If it is omitted, the port number of the local host in ftsagent is assumed.
- When the host address or name to be displayed contains a comma (,) or double-quotation mark (")
-
Enclose the entire host address or name to be displayed in double-quotation marks (").
Example: Specifying aaa,bbb as the name to be displayed: myhost,"aaa,bbb",20252
Example: Specifying aaa"bbb as the name to be displayed: myhost,"aaa""bbb",20252
