RBS Configuration

The RBS Configuration task provides complete control over RBS objects. It is the central place for managing and configuring RBS objects.

The main page lists the collections that are present in the system. iManager 2.x and 1.x collections are listed on separate pages. The 1.x Collections page enables you to migrate iManager 1.x collections to iManager 2.x collections. It also enables you to delete collections.

The 2.x Collections page enables you to manage collections. This page also shows the number of available modules and the number of modules that are installed, out-of-date, and not installed. For detailed information about the modules that are available, installed, out-of-date, or not installed in a collection, click the number in the corresponding column for the collection.

By default, the collections are sorted alphabetically in ascending order by name. To change the order, click the Name column heading.
