The Configuration management window provides the following functions:
Server list
The servers for which information has been collected by the discovery function can be displayed as a list, detailed information about each individual server can be looked up, including the patch application status for each server, and patches can also be applied. It is also possible to display information that has been filtered by specifying particular conditions.
Software list
The Fujitsu middleware products installed on the servers for which information has been collected using the discovery function can be displayed as a list, and detailed information about each individual server can be looked up, including the patch application status for each server. It is also possible to display information that has been filtered by specifying particular conditions.
Compare configuration baselines
A configuration baseline is a snapshot of the information collected by the discovery function at a specific moment in time.
The Configuration Baseline Comparison Results window shows a list of the changes that have been made since the configuration baseline snapshot was taken.
If a problem occurs with a server, it is possible to check which patches have been applied since the server was last running correctly by comparing the current configuration baseline with the configuration baseline at the time when the server was running correctly.
The Configuration Baseline Comparison Results window also shows changes when there are differences in the definitions for RPM packages subject to Linux patch management between the two baselines being compared.
Configuration baselines are created by infrastructure administrators.
Patch Application Wizard
This wizard allows the user to apply patches by first selecting the target servers. Users can then select the required patches, and specify the application method.
Maintenance
The Maintenance window can be used to look up, update, delete, register and import the configuration items stored in the CMDB.
