Web-based System Manager, released with AIX® V5.1, is a comprehensive suite of system management tools for the AIX operating system. Because it exploits familiar end user interaction concepts and visuals, while minimizing the presentation of UNIX® operating system-unique concepts, administrators with Microsoft® Windows® system administration skills can use it to easily manage an AIX operating system.
The Web-based System Manager utilizes a management console capable of administering multiple AIX operating system hosts from AIX, PC or Linux® remote clients. The new plug-in architecture makes it easier to extend the application suite. In addition, Web-based System Manager supports dynamic monitoring of system events through its integration of the Resource Monitoring and Control (RMC), developed for management of IBM UNIX systems.
Starting with AIX V6.1, the Web-based System Manager can also be accessed thought the
IBM Systems Director Console for AIX (Console). The Console provides web access to the
Systems Management Interface Tool (SMIT) as well as Web-based System Manager applications.
