EView/400i Discovery for HP UCMDB
Extending HP DDMA's Topology Discovery to include the iSeries (AS/400)
environments.
IBM AS/400-iSeries environments continue to play a very critical part in today's
corporate IT infrastructures, processing some of the most valued and important
data. Successful organizations see the business need to include the iSeries (AS/400)
data and identify iSeries (AS/400) configuration items, to know precisely how they
are configured.
EView/400i Discovery for iSeries (AS/400), developed by EView Technology, helps
companies manage the tasks associated with Change, Incident, Problem and other
IT Service Management disciplines for iSeries (AS/400)-based Configuration Items
(CIs). Adding the EView/400i Discovery agent to the HP Discovery and Dependency
Mapping Advanced Edition (DDMA) for HP Universal Configuration Management
Database (UCMDB) enables companies to view the iSeries (AS/400) CIs and their
inter-relationships with distributed resources.
EView/400i Discovery works with the HP DDMA Content Pack to provide the
ability to visualize and understand the configuration items (CIs) and easily build an
inventory of critical physical and logical entities along with their interrelationships.
This information is then populated in the HP UCMDB to create a detailed model of
your IT environment for service modeling and service impact analysis.
With EView/400i Discovery and HP DDMA, IT organizations can now discover
specific CIs for inclusion into the HP UCMDB. The discovered information includes:
- Local Storage with ASPs
- Memory
- LPAR
- CPU
- Network Connectivity
- Installed Software
- Selected System Values
- Subsystems
- Active Jobs
- Job Queues
- Output Queues
- Libraries
- Program Objects
