Move a custom driver to production

Netcool Configuration Manager allows you to move a custom driver into production. A custom driver which is in production can be used as the basis for the creation of a new custom driver. Custom drivers in production provide more predictable behaviour, as they are non-editable.

Before you begin

The user must be a member of a group who has the "View System" activity. This enables the user to see the Systems Manager in the UI.

About this task

Use this procedure to move a custom driver to production.

Procedure

  1. Navigate to the Systems Manager, and select the Drivers component.
  2. From the menu bar, select Tools > Move Driver to Production
  3. The Move driver to production window displays. Select a row in the table to choose the custom driver to move into production. Optionally, the filter drop downs can be used to narrow the number of rows visible in the table. Select Move to Production to proceed.
  4. A summary screen will be displayed. This reports all details of the custom driver you have just moved into production, including: UUID, Vendor, Type, Model, OS, display name and driver state.
    Note: A driver that has been moved to production cannot be edited, but it may be deleted.
