This topic describes how to associate an unknown managed system
or device with a predefined component in IBM® Director.
Some managed systems and devices are not rack mountable until
they are associated with predefined components. This association occurs when
the inventory-collection function of IBM Director does
not recognize the managed system or device.
Complete the following steps
to associate an unknown managed system or device with a predefined component:
- From the Floor tree in the Topology view,
right-click the managed system or device and click Associate.
- In the Associate window, expand the applicable tree and click the
predefined component type that most closely resembles the managed system or
device in size.
- Click OK. The properties of the component that was associated
with that managed system or device are displayed in the lower-right subpane.
You can change the association of a component by first canceling the
component association and then associating it with a different predefined
component.
