a central system. After you have installed Management Central and connected

|

<div class="p">The servers in your network are called <dfn class="term">endpoint systems</dfn>. You

select one of these endpoint systems as your central system. After you add

endpoint systems to your network and select your central system, you only
|

need to do your system administration tasks once. Your central system will

initiate your tasks and store the necessary systems management data. You choose

your central system when you first start iSeries™ Navigator. You can also easily

To start using iSeries Navigator, double-click the desktop icon
|
||
|
|
and select an iSeries server
|
||
|
|
to connect to and define an iSeries connection. The first server you specify
|
||
|
|
is assigned as your central system. Management Central appears automatically
|
||
|
|
at the top of the list in the left pane of your iSeries Navigator window. The Management
|
||
|
|
Central server is automatically started on the central system.</li>

||
|
|
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzaihmcsetngsnopt.htm">Management Central settings and options</a></strong><br />
|
||
|
|
If you are migrating from a release that is earlier than V5R3, you should note that the system environment variables were moved. This topic explains where you can find the client and server environment variables for systems running a release of V5R3 or later.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzaih1e.htm">Add endpoint systems to your Management Central network</a></strong><br />
|
||
|
|
An endpoint system is any system or logical partition in your TCP/IP network that you choose to manage through your central system.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzaihdelendpt.htm">How to completely remove endpoints</a></strong><br />
|
||
|

This topic answers the question, "Why, when I delete an endpoint from Management Central, it later reappears?"</li>
|

|
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzaih2c2.htm">Create system groups in your Management Central network</a></strong><br />
|
||
|
|
A <dfn class="term">system group</dfn> is a collection of endpoint systems
|
||
|
|
that you define. If you are working with multiple systems or multiple logical
|
||
|
|
partitions, creating a system group allows you to perform tasks on all the
|
||
|
|
systems without selecting each endpoint system. Just select the system group
|
||
|
|
you created and start your task.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzaihchangecntsys.htm">Change the central system setup</a></strong><br />
|
||
|
|
You can select a different system as your central system at any
|
||
|
|
time. The central system must be a system to which you are directly connected.
|
||
|
|
For the latest iSeries Navigator
|
||
|
|
functions, your central system should be running i5/OS™ Version 5, Release 4 (V5R4).</li>
