6.1. Management Central overview

Management Central is an integral part of overall management of many specific functions of Operations Navigator which may be defined or “run” on one or multiple iSeries servers.

Starting with V5R1 Management Central is not explicitly installed as part of Operations Navigator installation, as it was in previous releases. Rather, the Management Central basic functions are included in the basic Operations Navigator installation. Specific Operations Navigator components such as Configuration and Service, when installed, include additional Management Central based functions.
