Configuring MetaConsole Client for MMC
The MetaConsole client functions include the following:
• Maintaining a List of MetaConsole Servers
• Maintaining Lists of Enabled and Disabled Service Providers
• Producing Alarms when Device Conditions Change
About the Client
The MMC window contains two panes. You use the navigation tree in the navigation pane
on the left to select the information you want displayed in the details pane on the right.
Within the MetaConsole Root node, the navigation pane includes the following:
• A Help node for access to MetaConsole online help
• A Configuration node for configuring the preferred server’s settings
• A node for each MetaConsole server, which in turn contains the following:
• A Version Information node for displaying component version numbers
• A Service Providers node for enabling and disabling service providers
• A View Alarms node for displaying and acknowledging alarm information
• A node for each enabled service provider
All configuration settings for the server or a service provider are maintained by the MetaCon-
sole server and are not client-specific. All clients use the same values; if any client changes a
particular setting, the change affects all clients that use that setting.
Refreshing Displayed Information in MMC
The navigation tree in the navigation pane is not automatically updated when its contents
change. You may update the navigation pane by right-clicking a node and clicking the Refresh
command that appears. The following points describe the various affects of clicking Refresh:
• Refreshing the MetaConsole root updates all associated server, service provider and
device information.
• Refreshing a server updates all associated service provider and device information.
• Refreshing a service provider updates information for all of that service provider’s de-
vices.
• Refreshing a specific page updates the contents of that page.
• Using the Refresh command for a device has no effect on the device.
