ProcedureTo Add the Base Management Feature

This procedure describes how to add the base management feature on a server with a newly deployed OS. The base management feature is used to enable remote command execution and package deployment, and provides basic OS monitoring. For more information about base management, see Base Management (Basic OS Monitoring).

Note –

Uninstallation of the base management feature is not supported.

The agent IP used in this procedure is the IP address of the managed server's data network interface to be monitored by the management server. The interface can be eth1/bge1 or eth0/bge0, but usually is eth0/bge0. For more information on the server's agent IP address, see To Modify the Agent IP for a Server.

Note –

You can add the base management feature automatically as part of the load server or load group commands. See load server in Sun N1 System Manager 1.3 Command Line Reference Manual or load group in Sun N1 System Manager 1.3 Command Line Reference Manual for details.
