Interaction Between Solaris Zones Management Components

The following diagram illustrates how the components involved in Solaris Zones management interact. The managed node is a Windows server on which SystemEDGE and the Solaris Zones AIM run. The communication between the AIM and the Solaris Zones servers is based on SSH (Secure Shell).

To add the required connection information for each Solaris Zones Server, use the Administration tab of the user interface or the NodeCfgUtil.exe utility on the managed node. The connection information is written to the configuration file on the managed node. The AIM polls the configuration file and starts monitoring your Solaris Zones environment.
