<div><p>Take full advantage of the capability that iSeries™ Navigator for Wireless provides
|
||
|
|
when you interact with Management Central. This page helps you to fully use
|
||
|
|
the functions available in Management Central.</p>
|
||
|
|
<div class="section"><p>iSeries Navigator
|
||
|
|
for Wireless does not need a PC to run, but a PC is needed to set up Management
|
||
|
|
Central. Management Central is an integral part of iSeries Navigator, the graphical interface
|
||
|
|
for iSeries servers.
|
||
|
|
You install iSeries Navigator
|
||
|
|
on the PC as a component of iSeries Access for Windows<sup>®</sup>. No additional installation
|
||
|
|
is needed. When installing iSeries Access for Windows, select iSeries Navigator from the list of available
|
||
|
|
components, and then select the components you want (Monitors, Commands).
|
||
|
|
Next, you can set up Management Central (central system, endpoint systems,
|
||
|
|
monitors, commands). To connect to Management Central from a wireless device,
|
||
|
|
your Web application server must be set up on the endpoint server you have
|
||
|
|
configured as your Management Central central system.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Because iSeries Navigator
|
||
|
|
for Wireless is a companion to Management Central, iSeries Navigator for Wireless uses endpoint
|
||
|
|
systems and monitors defined in Management Central to report status and to
|
||
|
|
monitor metric information.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Do the following tasks in Management Central
|
||
|
|
before you begin using your wireless device:</p>
|
||
|
|
</div>
|
||
|
|
<ol><li class="stepexpand"><span><strong>Add endpoint systems</strong></span> <p>Add systems to your network
|
||
|
|
so that you can monitor status. Only systems defined as endpoint systems in
|
||
|
|
Management Central will show up in iSeries Navigator for Wireless. This
|
||
|
|
includes systems with integrated xSeries<sup>®</sup> servers. If you want to manage
|
||
|
|
your integrated servers on a particular system, be sure it has been added
|
||
|
|
as an endpoint system.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>When all of your endpoint systems have been added,
|
||
|
|
collect inventory so information about each endpoint system is available for
|
||
|
|
you to view from iSeries Navigator.</p>
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
<li class="stepexpand"><span><strong>Create monitors</strong></span> <p>Monitors in Management Central
|
||
|
|
can be powerful. You have the flexibility to have simple or complex monitors,
|
||
|
|
to set up thresholds, and to perform automation if those thresholds occur.
|
||
|
|
The goal of iSeries Navigator
|
||
|
|
for Wireless is to keep you informed of the status of these monitors wherever
|
||
|
|
you are. Create monitors with meaningful names (but try to keep them short
|
||
|
|
or they will scroll on the wireless devices). When you give a monitor a meaningful
|
||
|
|
name, you can easily recognize it on a wireless device, and you will know
|
||
|
|
what it is monitoring for, if it has triggered, and the severity of a problem
|
||
|
|
you are looking at. With iSeries Navigator for Wireless, you can also view
|
||
|
|
metrics and values on a specific system.</p>
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
<li class="stepexpand"><span><strong>Start and stop monitors</strong></span> <p>You have the ability
|
||
|
|
to start and stop monitors from iSeries Navigator for Wireless, but if
|
||
|
|
you start them in Management Central, your monitors will be active and on
|
||
|
|
the lookout for problems, and data will have already been collected when you
|
||
|
|
access your monitors from a wireless device. Many times a problem will occur
|
||
|
|
and you will need to monitor something in more detail. If you predefine these
|
||
|
|
"troubleshooting" monitors in Management Central, you can then start them
|
||
|
|
later using iSeries Navigator
|
||
|
|
for Wireless.</p>
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
<li class="stepexpand"><span><strong>Create command definitions</strong></span> <p>You can run commands
|
||
|
|
from iSeries Navigator
|
||
|
|
for Wireless. However, entering a long command into a Internet-ready telephone
|
||
|
|
can be quite cumbersome. That is why your command definitions are also displayed
|
||
|
|
so you can run the commands in the definitions directly from iSeries Navigator
|
||
|
|
for Wireless. Create as many command definitions as you would like, but keep
|
||
|
|
the names short so you can see them on a small display.</p>
