The Configuration management window provides the following functions:
Hardware list
Displays the list of chassis and physical server information collected by the discovery function, allowing you to view the detailed information of individual chassis and physical servers. If hypervisor is installed on the physical server, the list of guest OSs deployed on that hypervisor can be viewed as well.
Map view allows you to confirm dependency relationships between chassis, physical servers, servers, server groups, and tenants as well as the information of the software installed on the server.
Information
Information of server groups and tenants is displayed when linking to ServerView Resource Orchestrator.
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.
List of Configuration Modification Templates
The detailed information of individual Configuration Modification Templates can be referred to, by displaying the list of the Configuration Modification Template.
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.
Parameter Settings wizard
This wizard allows the user to set parameters. The user selects the target server and software, and then the parameters to be set. The wizard also allows the user to edit the parameters to be set.
Script Execution wizard
This wizard allows the user to run any script on the target server.
Configuration Modification Template Wizard
Create and edit the Configuration Modification Template using the wizard.
Configuration Modification Wizard
Execute configuration modification using the wizard. Select the Configuration Modification Template to execute, and specify the parameters.
Maintenance
The Maintenance window can be used to reference, update, delete, register and import the configuration items stored in the CMDB.
