IMPORTING DATA FROM NT DOMAINS OR SOLARIS NIS
• Computing QoS Rules indicates that computation is under way. While this is
occurring, the Policy System State icon in the upper right corner of the Policy System
page will indicate Busy.
• Ready to Configure Devices indicates that a set of QoS rules has been computed
incorporating all current policy definition changes. The rules are now ready to be
configured on the appropriate devices.
To start the configuration process, click Configure Devices in the System Status
block.
• Configuring Devices... indicates that the policy system is in the process of
configuring the network devices with the new QoS rules. While this is occurring, the
Policy System State icon in the upper right corner of the Policy System page will
indicate Busy.
• Configuration Complete indicates that the configuration process has finished. The
Policy System will maintain this state until a change in a policy definition requires a
recomputation and reconfiguration. At that point, assuming auto-configuration is off,
the state will change to Ready to Compute QoS Rules.
IMPORTING DATA FROM NT DOMAINS OR SOLARIS NIS
You can import information on users, user groups, and local end stations from either a
Windows NT Domain Controller, or a NIS server in a Solaris environment. The type of
system on which you are running the ExtremeWare Enterprise Manager server will
determine where the policy system looks to find this data.
For Windows NT, the ExtremeWare Enterprise Manager Server must be running with
the appropriate user permissions in order to import users from the Domain Controller.
If you cannot import users due to permissions, see your system administrator or see the
installation instructions in Chapter 2 for details on setting these permissions when you
install the ExtremeWare Enterprise Manager Server.
Select Import from the Component Tree to display the Import page (see Figure 8-30).
