IBM xSeries 135 Appliance Server: Installation Guide
Using the Adopt by First Matching Family
function
Use the Adopt by First Matching Family function to:
• Add an Orphaned Externally Configured Appliance to an appropriate family.
Appliances that have been configured without using the Advanced Appliance
Configuration Utility tool and that do not meet the rules for any existing family
are automatically added to the Orphaned Externally Configured Appliances
group. If, after the orphaned appliance is discovered, you create a family that is
appropriate for the orphaned appliance, right-click the orphaned appliance and
click Adopt by First Matching Family to move the appliance from the
Orphaned Externally Configured Appliances group to the newly created family.
• Move an appliance from one family to another appropriate family that occurs
higher in the list of previously defined families. If there is more than one
appropriate family for a newly discovered appliance, it automatically appears in
the first appropriate family in the list of families. If you want to move a
discovered appliance from one appropriate family to another appropriate
family:
1. Right-click the family to which you want to move the appliance.
2. Click Move Up in List to move the selected family up in the list of families.
Repeat steps 1 and 2 until the family that you want to add the appliance to
appears above the family that currently contains the appliance.
3. Right-click the appliance that you want to move to another family, and then
click Adopt by First Matching Family.
