Installing the Java Plug-in

Java 2 Runtime Environment is required to access several features in the management server, such

as System Manager. If your Web browser is running on Linux, you must manually install the Java

plug-in.
To install the Java plug-in on Linux:

1.

Go to the following URL and download the installation file for the Sun JRE when asked:

http://<management_server>/servlet.html?page=JavaPluginLinux

where <management_server> is the hostname of the management server.

2.

In a terminal window, execute the downloaded file in a directory where you want the JRE

installed.

Reporting

Reporting provides reports

using data collected by the

management server. Some of

these reports give you

enterprise views of your hosts,

switches, storage systems or

applications while others give

you an at-a-glance analysis

based on assets, ownerships,

chargeback or performance

information.
