The Web-Based Enterprise Management (WBEM) name and password pairs entered under OptionsProtocol SettingsGlobal Protocol Settings also control the amount of data displayed on the Property pages. If the root name and password pair is not available, many of the properties are omitted because the target system providers require root access. The Property pages are used to view WBEM properties on remote target systems (HP-UX, HP-UX IPF, Linux IPF, Linux IA32, Windows, and Dec Alpha) and can be accessed in two ways:
From the System Page on the Identity tab, click Properties. The Property pages display for the target system.
Select ToolsSystem InformationProperties. Select the target system from here and click [Run now]. The Property pages display for the target system.
The Property pages open in a new window if launched from the Systems Page or from the Tools menu. The Property pages include three tabs:
Identity. Displays WBEM properties that help describe the target system on the network. These properties can include such physical aspects as location, local time, operating system characteristics, and owner information.
Status. Displays WBEM properties that help determine the status of the system. At a minimum, you can determine the memory status and process status. Depending on the target system installation of WBEM, you might be able to determine status on all of the major computer subsystems. A status icon for each component appears next to each of the status properties. Refer to System Table View Page - System Status Types for more information on the hardware status icons that can be displayed.
Configuration. Displays an inventory of the target system based on WBEM properties. At a minimum, this inventory includes operating system information, but it might also include information on CPUs, disk drives, file systems, motherboards, software installations, and networks.
Note:
The date and time displayed on the Property pages indicates the time on the target system.
