To Load a Module

1. To select the host machine on which the module will be loaded, click the host machine icon.

   ---

   Note –

   If you attempt to load a module without selecting a host, you cannot access the Load Module option in the Tools menu.

   ---

2. To open the Load Module dialog box, use one of the following mechanisms:

   • Press mouse button 1 on the selected host icon, and select Load Module from the pop-up menu in the hierarchy view or the topology view.

   • In the main console window, choose Load Module from the Tools menu.

   • Open the Details window, and choose Load Module from the Module menu (the first icon at the top left of the Module Browser window).

   • Open the Details window, click the Module Manager tab, select a module to load from the list of Available Modules, and click the Load button.

     ---

     Note –

     In this case, the Module Loader window appears. Go to Step 5.

     ---

   The Load Module dialog box appears.

   The Load Module dialog box provides a list of Sun Management Center modules. A number next to the module name indicates the number of existing instances of that module on your host.

   ---

   Note –

   Some modules can have multiple instances loaded on a host.

   ---

3. Select the name of the module that you want to load.

4. Click the OK button.

   The Module Loader window appears. The contents of the Module Loader window depend on the selected module.

   ---

   Tip –

   You can also double-click a module name in the Load Module dialog box to load that module.

   ---

5. If there can be more than one instance of this module, type the instance name in the Instance field.

   The instance name is used within the Sun Management Center agent to identify uniquely a particular module or a row within a module. You must specify a unique name for each instance when multiple instances of the same module are loaded.

   An instance name is a single word or alphanumeric string. The only special character allowed in an instance name is the underscore (_).

   If you do not type information for a necessary field, the software responds with an error message and the module is not loaded.

6. (Optional) Type or change the information in the Description field.

   For some modules, the Description field is the only field that you can edit.

7. Decide whether to load the module now or at a scheduled time.

   • To accept the Load Parameters and load the module immediately, click OK.

   • To set a time to load and enable the module, click the Schedule tab and follow the instructions in To Set a Module Schedule.
