Changing Management and Read-Only Mode


Full Management – This setting enables you to manage adapters on this host
and other hosts that allow it.

Management Host – This setting allows this host to manage other hosts, but
prevents it from being managed by other hosts.

Enable TCP/IP Management (of/from remote host) – This setting enables you
to manage remote hosts or to manage this host remotely. If enabled, you must
supply the port number (between 1024 and 65535). The default port number is
23333. If the port number or the Enable TCP/IP Management checkbox is
changed, a set of warning messages may appear before changes are made. Click
Yes to continue with the change.
If the IP port number is changed, the utility restarts the OneCommand Manager
application discovery server and management agent to use the new settings. If
the servers cannot be stopped and restarted, you are prompted to reboot the
host for the new TCP/IP management settings to take effect.
Caution: The IP port number must be the same for all hosts that are to be
managed. Setting an IP port number for one host to a different value
than the other hosts makes the host unable to manage other hosts
over TCP/IP using a different port, as well as make the host
unmanageable over TCP/IP from other hosts using a different port.

Register this host with specific management host – This setting enables you to
register this host with a specific host for management. If enabled, you must
supply the IP address or host name of the management host. You can also
choose to prevent management of this host from any other host but the
management host. See “Management Host” on page 86 for more information.
If Local Management Plus or Full Management mode are selected, you can also set
read-only mode.

Read-only operation – This setting prevents certain operations from being
performed, such as resetting adapters, updating the adapter firmware image
and changing adapter settings and driver properties. Dialog box controls that
pertain to these tasks are completely hidden or disabled.
Management Host
The OneCommand Manager application management host provides enhanced
discovery and security by enabling a managed host to register with a management
host. The management host receives these registrations when the remote host is started
and updates its hosts file so the discovery server discovers the remotely managed host.
You do not need to manually add remote hosts to be managed.
If you choose to exclude management from all hosts except the management host, the
managed host only responds to requests from the management host. All requests from
other hosts are rejected. This TCP/IP management security solution only allows the
management host to manage the remote host.
