Use the Agents node of Administrative Services to view and control the various Agent components that are running on the monitored machines in your environment.
When you expand the Agents node, one sub node appears for each Agent machine that is monitored by the IBM Tivoli Storage Resource Manager Server into which you are currently logged.
The Agent Detail list includes a visual indicator of Server status that shows:
Green Circle - represents an active session behaving well
Red Exclamation - represents a session that is currently not active
X - represents a session that has defected to another Tivoli Storage Resource Manager Server
