    LANDesk(R) Management Suite: Installation Tips for Large WANS

    
    

    INSTALLATION INTO LARGE WAN ENVIRONMENT

    
       Recommendations for installing LANDesk(R) Management Suite (v2.01x) into
    
       a large WAN environment.
    
    
    
       Situation:
    
       Customer remote site configurations contain connection via 56 KB, T1,
    
       Frame Relay, ISDN or other communications links that are not direct
    
       backbone connections to the host network.
    
    
    
       Recommenation:
    
       One dedicated core server managing the other servers. This provides a
    
       centralized database for this location along with centralized
    
       management.
    
    
    
       For every remote location that is over a communications link connection
    
       the recommendation is to have a separate core server in each of the
    
       locations managing that site's nodes and servers. Intel does not
    
       recommend managing servers over a communication line link. Each site
    
       should be its own separate domain.
    
    
    
       To manage all the separate domains from a single central management
    
       console, from the LANDesk Management Suite Management Console main
    
       screen select the File pulldown menu and open Domain . Once you select
    
       and open the domain you wish to manage, you have full control over that
    
       domain. To limit overall access to the separate domains allow Novell
    
       password information to the different sites on an as required basis.
    
    
    
       In the event that you want to combine your inventory databases, simply
    
       select "Desktop Manager - Tools - Merge Inventory Databases".
