Before You Begin

To enable the management agent IP and security credentials on a server named server, add the management features on the server as explained in Adding Base and OS Management Features. This procedure is important for OS resource utilization monitoring but not for monitoring hardware health.

    See To Access the N1 System Manager Command Line for details.

  2. Set the monitored attribute to true by using the set group command.


    N1-ok> set group group monitored true

    This command is executed for the group of servers that you have already named. See set group in Sun N1 System Manager 1.1 Command Line Reference Manual for details. In this procedure, group is the name of the group of provisionable servers that you want to monitor.

  3. View the server group details to determine if monitoring is enabled for each server in the group.


    N1-ok> show group group

  4. View the specific monitoring details for individual servers in the group.


    N1-ok> show server server
