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:///servlet.html?page=JavaPluginLinux
where 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.
