Gear Management Overview
Gear management is the process through which Sun xVM Ops Center begins to manage and monitor your gear, which includes hardware, operating systems, and virtualization tools.
Gear management is a simple process:
- Discover Gear using custom discovery, automatic discovery, or gear declaration. Discovering gear lets you see what gear exists.
- Install Agentry to begin managing the gear. Managing gear gives Sun xVM Ops Center full access to the gear and enables you to monitor, update, and provision it.
- Register the gear. Registering gear is not required, but it gives you a hosted inventory of your gear.
- Organize the gear with groups. Placing your gear in groups allows you to organize it and simplifies management.
