The Advise and Repair Identification tab is launched by default when you click Advise and Repair from
the Manage Communications page. It can also be launched when you click a status icon in the
Identification column in the table on the Manage Communications page.
This tab displays detailed identification errors and recommendations for fixing the errors. Identification
communication status and errors are generated based on the system type, the operating system that the
managed system is running, the availability of management protocols on the managed systems, and if the
protocol has a higher weight than other protocols. Each Causes and Recommendations section can be
expanded for each error.
Accessing the Identification tab:
1. Select Configure→Manage Communications. The Select Target Systems page appears.
2. Select target systems. See “Creating a task” for more information.
3. Click Advise and Repair. The Advise and Repair section appears.
4. Click the Identification tab.

list on the managed system. Each Causes and Recommendations section can be expanded for each
error.

1. Select Configure→Manage Communications. The Select Target Systems page appears.
2. Select target systems. See “Creating a task” for more information.
