Configuration Management
Control
Configuration Management needs to be given timely information about all component changes and purchases so it can keep the CMDB up-to-date.
The record of all the hardware components must be begun when the purchase is approved and the component's status must be kept up-to-date throughout its lifecycle. All software on the live system must also be correctly recorded.
The control tasks must focus on:
- Ensuring that all the components are recorded in the CMDB.
- Monitoring the status of all the components.
- Updating the interrelations between the CIs.
- Reporting on the status of licences.
