Summary:A method, system, and product in a data processing system are disclosed for providing centralized management of an InfiniBand distributed system-area network that includes multiple end nodes. A manager application is established in one of the end nodes. An agent application is established in one or more end nodes. Each agent application is independent from the manager application. The manager application maintains a current list of active agent applications and uses the list to manage the agent applications in the end nodes. L'invention concerne un procédé, un système et un produit pour système de traitement de données, permettant la gestion centralisée d'un réseau SAN (system-area network) réparti InfiniBand comprenant des noeuds d'extrémité multiples. Une application gestionnaire est mise en place dans un des noeuds d'extrémité, et une application agent est mise en place dans un ou plusieurs noeuds d'extrémité. Chaque application agent est indépendante de l'application gestionnaire. L'application gestionnaire tient à jour une liste courant d'applications gent actives et utilise cette liste pour gérer les applications agent dans les noeuds d'extrémité.
