After you deploy and install Unified Manager, there are several configuration tasks that you might want to perform before you start monitoring your clusters, such as changing the host name, adding alerts, and adding users.
Before you begin
- You must have installed Unified Manager, and completed the Unified Manager initial setup.
- You must have the OnCommand Administrator role.
About this task
After you complete the Unified Manager initial setup, you can add clusters. If you did not add clusters after the initial setup, you must add clusters before you can start monitoring cluster objects. You can add clusters at any time. However, there are some configuration changes that you might want to make to Unified Manager before or after adding clusters.
Procedure
- Changing the Unified Manager host name
When you deployed Unified Manager, an SSL certificate was generated for HTTPS access. A host name was associated with the certificate, allowing you to use the host name to access the Unified Manager web UI. You might want to change this host name after deployment.
- Configuring Unified Manager to send alert notifications
After clusters are added to Unified Manager, you can monitor them, but you cannot receive notifications about events in your cluster environment until you configure several options (for example, the email address from which notifications are sent, and the users who should receive the alerts). You might also want to modify the default threshold settings at which events are generated.
