Managing the New Solaris Environment

The management tools and utilities used to monitor the environment should integrate with the existing management policies and procedures. Management processes like trouble ticket reporting should most likely remain independent of the new vendor platform. However, certain processes, such as change management, could be affected by the introduction of operational platforms that support dynamic reconfiguration or hot swapping.

Once the production environment is in place, you can install any tools or agents required to integrate the new environment with the existing management architecture.

In our example, BMC Patrol is installed and configured on the new platform.
