Administration Tasks

The Administration tab gives you access to all the administrative tasks you can perform on this host. With the categories listed, you can easily access the appropriate pages for system services, network connections, and user and group settings.The tasks include starting services, setting users, and configuring network cards.

Using the Administration tab, you can manage:

• Services

  View statistics of individual service and edit their services.

  Note: This feature is only available on hosts running Oracle Linux, Red Hat Linux and SUSE Linux Operating Systems (x86 and x64 architectures only).

• Default System Run Level

• Network Cards

  Manage routing configuration, view configuration statistics, and view network file system clients.

• Host Lookup Table

• NFS Client

• User and Group Administration

  Manage user and group settings.

Note: For Oracle Linux 7 systems, to perform administration tasks on these items, your host must have patched with latest 13.2.0.0.0 bundle release. For Oracle Linux 5 and Oracle Linux 6, in case host can not be patched then you should have YaST and EM Wrapper scripts installed. See the Required Installations section of the Setting Up the Environment to Monitor Hosts chapter for information.
