Executing remote actions from the operator console

Remote actions can be run through automated actions and on demand. You can run the automated actions by creating an event rule. If an action is run in an event rule, the request is sent to the server. The server then contacts the specified remote devices with the credentials for those devices. The server is connected to the remote devices and the command is run on the remote devices. 

 When you execute a remote action, the remote action is issued from your local installation of the operator console but is run on the computer where the cell or the Infrastructure Management Cell is installed.

To respond to an event by using a remote action

1. In the operator console, from the Events List, select an event.
2. Click the blue wrench icon for the selected event in the Tools Menu column.

3. Click Remote Actionsand then select a remote action.

   Note

   The number of remote actions that you can run for a Infrastructure Management cell varies from that available for a cell.

4. To access the results of the remote action, in the event list row, click the Action Result(s) icon in the Message column.
5. In the Event Remote Action Results dialog box, you can perform the following operations:
   
   • To export the information about the remote action to a file, select the action information and click Export.
   • To view the output, errors, and details about the remote action click the corresponding tab.
