Base functions
Base functions (plug-ins) in IBM Systems Director provide core functions to
manage the full life cycle of IBM servers, storage, network, and Virtual Servers.
Plug-ins that provide advanced functions or functions tailored to a particular
environment can be downloaded and installed on top of IBM Systems Director.
The base functions include:
Finding and viewing resources and resource information, including
relationships and properties.
Organizing logical sets of resources into groups.
Starting, stopping, and scheduling tasks.
Integrating third-party management software and other programs into the IBM
Systems Director web interface.
Managing auditing.
Encrypting interprocess communication.
Managing Common Agent registration and authentication.
Authenticating users through a configured user registry available from the
operating system, Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP), or domain
controller.
Creating roles and authorizing users and user groups to access certain
systems, groups, and tasks.
Managing credentials to support single sign-on authentication, even when
services span different systems.
Here are some of the managers that are part of the IBM Systems Director that
are available in the IBM Systems Director Management Console (SDMC):
Discovery Manager
The Discovery Manager performs physical and virtual system
discovery and inventory of related resources on the network.
Status Manager

and monitoring applications and services running on remote
systems.
Virtualization Manager
The Virtualization Manager provides tools for managing the life cycle
of virtual resources.
Network Management
Network Management provides management functions for network
devices, including discovery, inventory, health and status monitoring,
and configuration.
IBM BladeCenter and System x management
IBM BladeCenter and System x management provides life cycle
management of your modular IBM System x and BladeCenter
systems and related resources, including discovery, health and
status monitoring, configuration, updates, and virtualization. It also
provides platform-specific functions.
