Configure system information for managed nodes
Use the
System tab of the
Managed Nodes Properties
dialog box to record information about the selected node's
hardware, software, and environment. You need to separately
configure details for each managed node. Required information
includes
System Type,
OS Type, and
OS Version,
which HPOM fills in for you, if possible.
NOTE:
Information for System Type, OS Type, and OS Version is
automatically entered if the node was selected by dragging or
copying it from the Discovered Nodes list or if the primary
node name is entered in the Network tab. This information
appears when you open the node's property sheet or select
Close or Apply in the Configure Managed Nodes
dialog. For manually created nodes, system and OS type discovery is
attempted. There is no system or OS information associated with
node groups.
- From the list of managed nodes in the Configure Managed
Nodes dialog box, select the node you want to configure.
- Right-click to open the shortcut menu.
- Select Properties to open the Node Properties
dialog box.
- Select the System tab.
- In the System Type box, the system type for the selected
node has been automatically entered. If the value cannot be
determined, the field will display "Other" and you must enter the
correct information. If the node is of a type that is not supported
by HPOM for Windows, this box will display a system type of
Other.
- The Agent Comm Type box displays one of two
communication types (DCE or HTTPS), depending on the system
type.
- In the Operating System box, the operating system type
has been automatically entered. If the value cannot be determined
or is unsupported, this box displays an Operating System of
Unknown.
- In the Bit Length box, the bit length has been
automatically entered. There are two choices: 32 and 64 bit.
- The Agent Binary Format box is automatically filled
depending on the system type.
- In the Version box, the information has been
automatically entered. If the value cannot be determined or is
unsupported, this box remains blank. The list box shows the
available versions for the selected operating system. You can
select from the list or type in a version not available from the
list (for example, a newly released version).
- Check the Automatically grant certificate: box if you
want the management server to automatically grant certificate
requests for this node. The HTTPS agent requires certificates,
which enable it to communicate securely with the management server.
The node can request these certificates from the management server.
For this property to take effect, you must also configure the
management server to grant certificate requests
automatically.
- Certificate State: Shows whether the HTTPS node has the
certificates it requires to communicate securely with the
management server.
View
certificate states
- Installed
- The certificate is installed on this node.
- Denied
- The management server received a certificate request and has
informed the node that it is not going to grant it.
- Failed
- Tthe management server tried to grant or deny the request, but
was not able to do it (because the node could not be reached, for
example).
- Pending
- A certificate request has been received for this node, but not
yet granted, denied, or discarded.
- Granted
- The certificate request has been granted on the management
server, but the node does not have the certificate yet. You may see
this state if you are granting many certificate requests at
once.
- Undefined
- No certificate request has been received for the node.
- Prerequisite check: Shows whether the node has passed
the prerequisite check. If Passed is not selected, the
prerequisite check has not yet run or has failed.
- Click Apply to apply your changes.
- Click Close to save your changes and close this dialog
box.
- Click Cancel to close the dialog box without saving your
changes.
- Select the Tools tab to continue configuring this
node.
