Use the Configure Alert Standard Format task to configure Alert Standard Format (ASF) on managed systems that contain ASF-capable network interface cards (NICs).
Before a managed system is recognized by IBM Director Server as ASF-capable, the Inventory task must be run on the managed system. If the managed system supports ASF 1.0, IBM Director Server adds it to the Systems with ASF group. If the managed system supports ASF 2.0, IBM Director Server adds it to both the Systems with ASF group and the Systems with ASF Secure Remote Management group.
