Systems Director

Systems Director is a platform-management foundation that streamlines the way you manage physical and
virtual systems 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:
• Discovery
• Inventory
• Configuration
• System health
• Updates
• 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 source 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
