Last Updated : Mar 04, 2021 |

Before you begin

  • To add Session Manager use Manage Elements or Discovery from Inventory.

  • To assign Session Managers to a user based on a defined policy, select the Enable Policy Based Assignment of Session Managers option on the Global Settings page.

Procedure

  1. On the System Manager web console, click Users > User Management > Manage Users.
  2. On the Manage Users page, do one of the following:

    • To create a Session Manager profile for a new user profile, click New.

    • To create a Session Manager profile for an existing user, select the user and click Edit.

  3. Click the Communication Profile tab.
  4. In the PROFILES section, click the toggle button next to Session Manager Profile.

    System Manager enables Session Manager Profile and displays the fields of the Session Manager profile.

  5. If you do not select the Enable Policy Based Assignment of Session Managers option, perform the following:
    1. In the Primary Session Manager field, select the Session Manager to use as the home server for the currently displayed communication profile.
    2. In the Secondary Session Manager field, select the Session Manager to serve as secondary service provider if primary Session Manager fails.
  6. If you select the Enable Policy Based Assignment of Session Managers option, perform the following:
    1. In the Policy field, select the required policy for the Session Manager communication profile.

      Based on the policy selection, the system displays the relevant fields. The options are:

      • fixed: When you select this option, the system displays the Primary Session Manager, Secondary Session Manager, Third Session Manager, and Fourth Session Manager fields.

        The default value is fixed.

      • fixed-region: When you select this option, the system displays the Primary Region, Secondary Region, Third Region, and Fourth Region fields.

        The system assigns the primary, secondary, third, or fourth region to the Session Manager Communication profile.
