Rack Manager And Inventory Enhancements; Dynamic Nas Groups - IBM TotalStorage NAS 300 User Reference

Software distribution using IBM Director can be deployed to a single IBM Director
client, all IBM Director clients, or some combination in between. The administrator
has complete control over which IBM Director clients receive any given package. By
default, software distribution packages automatically install themselves immediately
following delivery to the IBM client. Delivery of the package can be done manually
or scheduled for a later, more convenient time.

Rack Manager and inventory enhancements

The Rack Manager task has been updated to include all of the IBM NAS
components. A new component category, NAS, includes all of the IBM NAS
appliance engines. All IBM NAS appliances are automatically discovered by the
Rack Manager task for drag-and-drop rack construction. This enhancement is part
of the IBM Director Server Service Pack 3.1.1; the service pack must be loaded on
the IBM Director server before you can take advantage of this new category. The
following component categories have been updated to include the new IBM NAS
appliance components:

Dynamic NAS groups

Dynamic NAS groups are an IBM Director Management Server enhancement made
specifically for IBM NAS appliances. You must install this enhancement on the IBM
Director Management Server as well as all IBM Director Consoles. You can add
dynamic NAS groups to the IBM Director Server and Consoles by downloading the
InstallShield extension from the IBM Web site and invoking the executable file. This
will create a new Group on all consoles that represent IBM NAS appliances in the
