Node groups and Nodes

You can use the OI Server Manager to manage Communication Drivers running on the local computer. Use node groups and nodes to organize the computers.

In the console tree, the Default Group node appears under the Operations Integration Server Manager node.

The Default Group lists all the computer nodes on the local domain, beginning with, by default, the local computer (Local), which is the computer on which the OI Server Manager is running.

Each computer node is itself a container if one or more Communication Drivers are running on that node. When you select different nodes in the console tree, the information in the details pane changes accordingly.
