Systems Director

Systems Director is a platform-management foundation that streamlines the way you manage physical and

virtual systems in a heterogeneous environment. By using industry standards, Systems Director supports

multiple operating systems and virtualization technologies in Lenovo and non-Lenovo x86 platforms.

Through a single user interface, Systems Director provides consistent views for viewing managed systems,

determining how these systems relate to one other, and identifying their statuses, helping to correlate

technical resources with business needs. A set of common tasks that are included with Systems Director

provides many of the core capabilities that are required for basic management, which means instant

out-of-the-box business value. The common tasks include the following:

• Configuration

• System health

• Monitoring

• Event notification

• Automation for managed systems

The Systems Director Web and command-line interfaces provide a consistent interface that is focused

on driving these common tasks and capabilities:

• Discovering, navigating, and visualizing systems on the network with the detailed inventory and

relationships to the other network resources

• Notifying users of problems that occur on systems and the ability to isolate the sources of the problems

• Notifying users when systems need updates and distributing and installing updates on a schedule

• Analyzing real-time data for systems and setting critical thresholds that notify the administrator of

emerging problems

• Configuring settings of a single system and creating a configuration plan that can apply those settings to

multiple systems

• Updating installed plug-ins to add new features and functions to the base capabilities

• Managing the life cycles of virtual resources
