Universal Manageability Services

The Universal Manageability Services (UM Services) GUI enhances the local or
remote administration, monitoring, and maintenance of IBM systems. UM Services
is a lightweight client that resides on each managed computer system. With UM
Services, you can use a Web browser and UM Services Web console support to
inventory, monitor, and troubleshoot IBM systems on which UM Services is
installed.
This "point-to-point" systems-management approach, in which you use a Web
browser to connect directly to a remote client system, enhances support and
enables you to effectively maintain IBM systems without requiring the installation of
additional systems-management software on your administrator console.
In addition to point-to-point systems-management support, UM Services also
includes support for UM Services Upward Integration Modules. These modules
enable systems-management professionals who use any supported
systems-management platform (including Tivoli Enterprise, CA Unicenter TNG
Framework, and Microsoft Systems Management Server [SMS]) to integrate
portions of UM Services into their systems-management console. Because it was
designed to use industry-standard information-gathering technologies and
messaging protocols, including Common Information Model (CIM), Desktop
Management Interface (DMI), and Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP),
UM Services adds value to any of these supported workgroup or enterprise
systems-management platforms.
Complete documentation on how to use UM Services is included on the
Documentation CD that came with the appliance.

System requirements

The UM Services client is preinstalled on the NAS 200 appliance. However, you
must have a Web browser installed on your systems-management console. It is
recommended that you set Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.x (or later) as the default
browser.

Matching Family to move the appliance from the Orphaned Externally
Configured Appliances group to the newly created Family.
higher in the list of previously defined Families. If there is more than one

2. Select Move Up in List to move the selected Family up in the list of families.
Repeat steps 1 and 2 until the Family that you want to add the appliance to
