Use this page to display systems and groups managed by
AIX Profile Manager. You can also perform
the following tasks in this view:
- View differences
- Redeploy
- Compare
- Retrieve
Note: If a system is not managed by AIX Profile Manager, only the name
of the system is displayed in the table and all the other columns
display the value unsupported.
The Systems view table
contains AIX Profile Manager manageable
systems currently discovered on the Director server. New systems managed
by AIX Profile Manager are
automatically added to the Systems view when they are discovered,
and removed from the Systems view when they are removed. By default,
this view displays the content of the AIX Profile Manager static group. You
can navigate through all groups available on the Director server.
