The Management Environment is a set of machines you can manage and perform system administration tasks on from within the Web-based System Manager application. You can add or delete members from this set. The Navigation Area and Contents Area in the Web-based System Manager application window provide an interface to access these machines. The Web-based System Manager application provides you with two approaches to adding or deleting a machine. The first approach is through the Console menu. The second approach is through the Web-based System Manager Management Environment plug-in. Either approach guides you in adding or deleting a machine from the Management Environment.
In addition, the Web-based System Manager application provides you with a means to save a set of machines to a particular session. When Web-based System Manager is initially launched, the only machine that is present in the Navigation Area and Contents Area is the managing machine. After a machine is added, it can be preserved for future use if you select to save preferences either through the Console menu or upon exiting the Web-based System Manager application.
