Selecting A Resource For Manual Registration - Novell PLATESPIN ORCHESTRATE 2.0.2 - INSTALLATION AND CONFIGURATION GUIDE 10-09-2009 Installation And Configuration Manual

9 In the PlateSpin Orchestrate Development Client, open the Resources Monitor to observe the
resource object you created change from offline to online. When the object is no longer
dimmed, the agent has logged in as a resource and is registered.
When the resource is online, the Resources Monitor displays a labeled box representing the
registered agent. This box includes information about the agent, including the number of
available slots it has and a status color indicating its state of readiness for PlateSpin Orchestrate
jobs.
The status color window can be white (inactive), yellow (available for use), or blue (in use). If
the color changes from yellow to blue, a job is running on this resource. To find out what kind
of job is running, you can click on the Jobs monitor button on the toolbar.

3.3.4 Selecting a Resource for Manual Registration

If you do not select the Auto Register Agents check box on the grid object's Authentication page,
you have the option of explicitly accepting or denying the login attempts of a resource, thus
preventing it from creating an account.
The following steps assume that you have already created a resource in your grid.
1 In the Resources Monitor, click the Resource Registration (mailbox) icon to open the Resource
Registration Monitor dialog box.
This dialog box lets you preview the Orchestrate Agents that are installed in the network and
trying to log in to the server. The top row of radio buttons is a mass selector for all listed agents,
allowing you the choice to accept, deny, or ignore automatic registration for all agents, both
those currently listed and those that might try to log in later.
If you want to choose the agents that can be allowed to auto register, you can visually identify
the agent by name and select how you want to handle that agent's request for registration the
next time it tries to log in.
2 For this example, select the Accept radio button adjacent to the agent you want to register, then
click OK.
3 From the PlateSpin Orchestrate Development Client, open the Resources Monitor to observe
the resource object you created change from offline to online. When the object is no longer
dimmed, the agent has logged in as a resource and is registered.
