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".
