Server properties - update concepts

Over time, you may need to update the server properties shown within the TrueSight Server Automation system.

When you first add a server, TrueSight Server Automation retrieves the server's intrinsic properties (operating system, patch level, and so forth) over the network and displays these properties in the Properties view. Over time, some of these properties may change for the server — for example, you may apply a new patch. To instruct the system to retrieve and display new property values from the server, you must update the server's properties.

There are two ways to do this:

If you are using servers in a virtual environment (such as a VMware vCenter or IBM frames), you must define values for certain properties that allow communication with the server's virtual infrastructure. For more information, see Provisioning-VMs.
