How to Monitor the System Using
Sun Management Center
Sun Management Center software is a flexible product with many features and
options. How you use it depends on the specifics of your network as well as your
needs and preferences. You must decide what role or roles you want your Sun Fire
V440 system to play within the Sun Management Center domain. See "Monitoring
the System Using Sun Management Center" on page 36 for details.
Before You Begin
This procedure assumes that you intend to load Sun Management Center agent
software on the Sun Fire V440 system so as to be able to monitor it, and gives you
some guidance on how to accomplish this goal.
This procedure also assumes that you have set up or will set up one or more
computers to function as Sun Management Center servers and consoles. Servers and
consoles are part of the infrastructure that enables you to monitor systems using Sun
Management Center software. Typically, you would install the server and console
software on machines other than the Sun Fire V440 systems you intend to monitor.
