Tivoli LCF (Lightweight Client Framework) To install Tivoli LCF, double-click on System Management and follow the instructions on the screen. Remote Program Load (RPL) The remote program load (RPL) enables a network administrator to remotely control your computer. RPL enables your computer to start directly from a server over a LAN that has been configured for RPL. Network-management software, such as IBM LANClient Control Manager (LCCM), is required to take advantage of RPL. If you use RPL with LCCM software, you can use the Hybrid RPL feature. With Hybrid RPL you install hybrid images (or files) on the hard disk. Each time the computer starts from the network, LCCM recognizes your computer as a Hybrid RPL client, and a bootstrap program is downloaded to your computer. This bootstrap program is small and helps prevent network congestion. Working from the hybrid images, the bootstrap program starts the startup process from the hard disk drive of your computer. One of the advantages of Hybrid RPL is that the network load associated with standard RPL is avoided. | Note: You can use RPL or PXE (sometimes it is called DHCP) with | the Port Replicator with Advanced EtherJet feature, the option | of the ThinkPad computer. If your computer is attached to the | Port Replicator with Advanced EtherJet feature and you want | to use RPL or PXE, you need to set up PXE or RPL by using | a Advanced EtherJet Feature flash utility diskette that is | supplied with the Port Replicator with Advanced EtherJet | feature. 4 DMI is a standard defined by the Desktop Management Task Force (DMTF) for gathering information about the hardware and software in your computer so that network administrators can remotely monitor and control it. 132 IBM ThinkPad 560Z Online Book

BIOS information.
Tivoli LCF (Lightweight Client Framework)
To install Tivoli LCF, double-click on
System Management
and
follow the instructions on the screen.
Remote Program Load (RPL)
The remote program load (RPL) enables a network administrator to
remotely control your computer.
RPL enables your computer to start
directly from a server over a LAN that has been configured for RPL.
Network-management software, such as IBM LANClient Control
Manager (LCCM), is required to take advantage of RPL.
If you use RPL with LCCM software, you can use the
Hybrid RPL
feature.
With Hybrid RPL you install hybrid images (or files) on the
hard disk.
Each time the computer starts from the network, LCCM
recognizes your computer as a Hybrid RPL client, and a
bootstrap
program is downloaded to your computer.
This bootstrap program is
small and helps prevent network congestion.
Working from the
hybrid images, the bootstrap program starts the startup process from
the hard disk drive of your computer.
One of the advantages of
Hybrid RPL is that the network load associated with standard RPL is
avoided.
|
Note:
You can use RPL or PXE (sometimes it is called DHCP) with
|
the Port Replicator with Advanced EtherJet feature, the option
|
of the ThinkPad computer.
If your computer is attached to the
|
Port Replicator with Advanced EtherJet feature and you want
|
to use RPL or PXE, you need to set up PXE or RPL by using
|
a Advanced EtherJet Feature flash utility diskette that is
|
supplied with the Port Replicator with Advanced EtherJet
|
feature.
