Setting Up Your Configuration Database for the First Time

If this is the first time you are using Console Manager, then you must create entries in the configuration database in the following order:

1. Add the serviced systems.
2. Add groups, if you intend to place your serviced systems in groups.
3. Add users who are to be allowed access to the serviced systems and groups. Entries for SYSTEM need not be created, as Console Manager does not require an entry for these users. If they are created, Console Manager will override the user attributes that are set in the configuration database, and they will still have full Console Manager privileges.
4. Add security profiles if you are using secure console connections with SSH.
5. Create scans, filters and actions you require to handle failover events.
