<h1 class="topictitle1">Add endpoint systems to your Management Central network</h1>
|
|
<div><p>An endpoint system is any system or logical partition in your TCP/IP
|
|
network that you choose to manage through your central system.</p>
|
|
<div class="section"><p> When you add a connection to a system from iSeries™ Navigator
|
|
(by clicking <span class="menucascade"><span class="uicontrol">File</span> > <span class="uicontrol">Connection
|
|
to Servers</span> > <span class="uicontrol">Add connection</span></span> while
|
|
your current environment is selected in the left pane), the system is added
|
|
to the list under your current active environment (typically named My Connections).
|
|
Alternatively, when you add a new endpoint system, the system name is added
|
|
to the list of Endpoint Systems under Management Central. </p>
|
|
<p>When
|
|
you perform an action on a system under My Connections, a direct connection
|
|
from the client (your PC) to the system is required, and actions are performed
|
|
on one system at a time. In contrast, Management Central allows systems management
|
|
tasks to be performed on multiple systems (in the Endpoint Systems list) and
|
|
only one client connection (to the central system) is required. </p>
|
|
<p><img src="./delta.gif" alt="Start of change" />The central system handles the connections to the endpoint systems.
|
|
The Management Central property setting for the Lookup Frequency controls
|
|
how the IP address for an endpoint system is determined. If it is set to NEVER
|
|
then the IP address that is stored in the endpoint object is used. If it is
|
|
set to ALWAYS, then the TCP/IP, on the server provides the IP address for
|
|
the system name that is specified.<img src="./deltaend.gif" alt="End of change" /></p>
|
|
<div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> If you are
|
|
adding endpoint systems that are running OS/400<sup>®</sup> V5R1, you must have the following
|
|
fixes (also known as PTFs) installed on the V5R1 system: SI01375, SI01376,
|
|
SI01377, SI01378, and SI01838. Without these fixes, you will not be able to
|
|
use all the systems management functions on the endpoint system.</div>
|
|
<p>To
|
|
add one or more endpoint systems, do the following:</p>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<ol><li><span>Right-click <span class="uicontrol">Endpoint Systems</span> and select <span class="uicontrol">New
|
|
Endpoint System</span>.</span></li>
|
|
<li><span>Enter the name of the system and click <span class="uicontrol">OK</span>.</span></li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
<div class="section"><p>The endpoint systems that you added appear automatically under <span class="uicontrol">Endpoint
|
|
Systems</span> in your iSeries Navigator window. After you have added an
|
|
endpoint system, you can view its properties. You can also change the description
|
|
or the IP address as needed.</p>
|
|
<p>Next, you can create system groups to help
|
|
you manage different sets of endpoint systems. The new system groups will
|
|
appear under Management Central in iSeries Navigator. </p>
|
|
<p>For more information about these
|
|
and other Management Central tasks and topics, refer to the detailed task
|
|
help that is available from the iSeries Navigator window. Click <span class="uicontrol">Help</span> from
|
|
the menu bar and select <span class="menucascade"><span class="uicontrol">iSeries Navigator overview</span> > <span class="uicontrol">Management Central</span></span>.</p>
