PREREQUISITES
The following actions are performed as prerequisite to the Managed System Configuration.

System Preparation & Basic Configuration

The System Preparation and Basic Configuration of the SAP Solution Manager system are mandatory
activities to be executed before the Managed System Configuration. There should be no errors, only green
statuses.

SLD/LMDB Registration
In order to perform the Managed System Configuration for a SAP system, the relevant system should be
available in the LMDB (Landscape Management Database) of SAP Solution Manager. The SAP systems are
automatically registered in the LMDB by the SLD (System landscape Directory) Data Suppliers. It is therefore
necessary to register the systems in the SLD, through transaction RZ70 for an ABAP stack and through
Visual Admin > Cluster > Server > Services > SLD Data Supplier > Runtime > HTTP Settings for a JAVA
stack.

Diagnostics Agent Installation

The Diagnostics Agents have to be installed on the hosts of the managed system. This activity can be done
as part of the Managed System Configuration or before executing the configuration steps as this requires to
have server access.
