management modules to HCSM. Other settings for the management modules
are not required.
Disabling HCSM
You can disable HCSM function, which prevent HCSM from managing the
system unit. If you execute Discovery with HCSM disabled, the system unit
will not be a target for management.
Access control by IP address
When you enable Access control for an HCSM server registered in a
management module, the management module can work together only with
the registered HCSM server. If you execute Discovery from a non-registered
HCSM with Access control enabled, the system unit will not become a target
for management. Enabling Access control can prevent a system unit from
specified as a target for management by HCSM invalidly installed after the
system is configured.
Note: When managing a system unit from a new HCSM with Access control
enabled, you need to register the IP address in the management module
before executing Discovery.
Setting accounts and passwords for authentication
Management modules authenticate the account and password when
connecting to HCSM. Management modules and HCSM share the common
default account and password. System administrator can specify an account
and password for authentication instead of the default account and password.
Changing alert levels
You can change alert levels for notifying HCSM. Changing alert levels can
reduce load on networks.
