Configuring via Server Configuration Manager

9.1Calling the Server Configuration Manager from the ServerView Installation Manager

You can call the Server Configuration Manager from the ServerView Installation Manager (Installation Manager for short). Configuration via the Installation Manager is of significance when installing the server. The Installation Manager makes the Server Configuration Manager available both during preparation for installation and as a separate maintenance program. The Installation Manager is described in the manual “ServerView Installation Manager”.

9.2Calling the Server Configuration Manager from the Windows Start menu

On Windows-based servers, you can also call the Server Configuration Manager via the Windows Start menu.

To do this, proceed as follows:

ÊOn the managed server, select:

Start – All Programs – Fujitsu – ServerView – Agents – Configuration Tools – System Configuration.

The System Configuration window opens:
