The NonStop Distributed Component Console
This chapter describes how to configure and manage NonStop CORBA by using the Console. The Console is a GUI-based tool that allows you
to manage:
One or more host systems on which applications are running
The server processes that implement NonStop Services for CORBA
Using the Console, you can:
Connect to one or more host systems
Manage security domains, business domains, and domain servers
Monitor the servers using status indicators and detailed server status displays
Control (start and stop) the servers
View and configure server properties
View and configure Comm Server mappings
Manage Naming Service data using the Naming Administrator
Troubleshoot the servers
The Console is recommended for configuring and managing the NonStop Services for CORBA. However, you can use the command line tools
and shell scripts to configure and manage the system if you prefer them (see
Configuration and Management Using Commands). Note that it is
easier to make mistakes with the tools and scripts than with the Console.
The data that the Console manages—the configuration data—is stored in the configuration database on the host system. With caution, you can
use the
cfgmgt tool to view and modify the configuration data. The NSDAdminServer and the NSDEnvironServer use the Subsystem
Programmatic Interface (SPI) to PATHMON to configure, start, stop, and monitor the status of servers.
Connecting to Host System
After launching the Console, you connect to a host system that you want to manage and select a security domain and one or more business
domains. After you have connected to a host system, you can define additional security domains and business domains as required by your site.
1. Select Manage System from the Admin menu or click Manage a system on the tool bar.
2. The System Selection dialog appears. Type either the name or the IP address of the host system, then click OK. If you enter a name, it
must be one that can be found by a host name lookup (usually performed by the Domain Name Service). The Security Domain Selection
dialog appears.
3. Select a security domain, then click OK. The Security Domain Authentication dialog appears.
4. Log on to the security domain by typing the user name and password for the security domain you selected. Click OK. The Business
Domain Selection dialog appears.
5. Select a business domain, then click OK. (To select multiple business domains, press the Shift key while selecting.) The main Console
window lists the business domains under the host system and security domain.
Now you can either add more domains or
start the servers.

Security Domains
A security domain contains the process and configuration data that are manageable under a user name and password. An initial security domain
is created when you install the product. If you choose to do so, you can define additional security domains for a host system. A security domain
is composed of one or more business domains.
Adding a New Security Domain
Removing a Security Domain
Adding a New Security Domain
Add additional security domains if, for example, you want to partition your system. Each security domain corresponds to a Guardian user logon.
The processes created under a given security domain have access rights corresponding to the user ID that controls the security domain.
