Web-based System Manager is a client-server application that gives the user a powerful graphical user interface to access and manage multiple hosts. Through Web-based System Manager, you can view users and groups, install software, and printers and devices; manage logical volumes, users and groups, and resources; mount and unmount file systems; configuring the network; and do many other system administration tasks. A plug-in architecture makes it easier to extend the suite. In addition, Web-based System Manager supports dynamic monitoring and administrator notification of system events.
The interface provides point-and-click control of objects, which provides an alternative to learning and using commands or SMIT. You can select a machine to manage, and as you navigate through your desired operation, the panels refresh to display your currently allowable choices.
