The management console can be used to perform the following operations:
Software configuration information management
Software configuration information management involves collecting and managing software configuration information for business servers (such as server names, tenant names, host names and IP addresses).
If a problem occurs with a server, patches that have been applied since the server was last running correctly can be checked by comparing the current configuration baseline with the configuration baseline at the time when the server was running correctly.
The configuration items in the CMDB can also be looked up, updated, deleted and registered.
Patch management
Patch management involves managing the following patch information:
Windows patches
Linux patches
Fujitsu middleware patches
Patch management also collects and manages the application status of patches from repository servers and business servers, and distributes or applies unapplied patches to business servers.
Task management
Task management involves managing tasks for distributing and applying patches.
