<div><p>See an overview of the capabilities that iSeries™ Navigator provides, which are
covered in the Information Center.</p>
<p>iSeries Navigator
provides a powerful suite of functions to handle your system administration
tasks. Once you have installed iSeries Navigator, use the online help
for step-by-step instructions for all the individual tasks that you can do
"the GUI way" in iSeries Navigator.
In the main iSeries Navigator
window, just click <span class="menucascade"><span class="uicontrol">Help</span> &gt; <span class="uicontrol">Help
Topics</span> &gt; <span class="uicontrol">What can I do with...?</span></span></p>
<p>For links to related conceptual information in the Information Center,
keep reading!</p>

allows you to manage tasks across one or more servers simultaneously. Simplify
your systems management with task scheduling, real-time performance monitoring,
managing fixes (or PTFs), distributing objects, managing users and groups,
running commands from a central system, and much much more.</td>

to access your logical partition information, change logical partition configuration,
manage security, and change processing resources without requiring a system
restart. On an iSeries server,
you can use iSeries Navigator,
DST, and SST to manage your logical partitions. If you are working with partitions
on IBM<sup>®</sup> Systems
and eServer™ hardware,
or models such as 5xx, see Partitioning the server for more information.</td>

to configure, protect, and manage all of your disk units and disk pools, as
well as work with mirroring and parity protection. iSeries Navigator also allows you to
view all stand-alone devices as well as all the tape resources and cartridges
within your tape libraries. Using iSeries Navigator, you can duplicate
tapes, display or print volume labels, eject a tape from a tape library, format
a tape, make a tape cartridge or device (vary it on), make a tape device unavailable
(vary it off), print save-or-restore-tape information, print volume contents,
and reset tape resources. </td>

partners can obtain the information that they need to do business with you
in a secure environment. iSeries Navigator has several integrated features
that will help build a strong defense against the security risks you may encounter
along the way. Use iSeries Navigator to configure everything from your
basic system security policy to secure end-to-end VPN connections, filter
rules, address translation, SSL, enterprise identity mapping, and much more.</td>

network communications on your server. Find wizards to easily configure the
interfaces, routes, and servers that are necessary for network communications.
Verify connectivity using the PING and trace route utilities. Then, choose
from a variety of functions to customize the network; for example, you may
select IP policies to control and secure your network traffic using QoS or
VPN, or choose Remote Access Services to create point-to-point connections.
See Networking for detailed information about various networking technologies
that you can use on the iSeries.</td>

These jobs perform a variety of tasks from starting the operating system,

centrally manage many of the properties used by iSeries Access for Windows<sup>®</sup> clients
