address for the appliance, you can still use the IAACU to discover appliances and
to start UM Services Web-based systems management.
Notes:
1. The IAACU configures and reports the TCP/IP settings of the first adapter
(excluding the integrated Ethernet controller that is used for the interconnection
of the two engines) on each appliance. The “first” adapter is defined by its
position: if there is an adapter in slot 2, it is the first adapter; if there is an
adapter in slot 3, it is the first adapter.
Be sure to connect the first adapter to the same physical network as your
systems-management console. You can do this by manually configuring the
network adapter to be on the same subnetwork as the systems-management
console.
2. The IAACU must be running to configure newly installed appliances
automatically.
3. The system running the IAACU console automatically maintains a copy of its
database (ServerConfiguration.dat) in the Advanced Appliance Configuration
Station installation directory (Program files\IBM\iaaconfig). To remove previous
configuration data, close the IAACU, delete this file, and then restart the utility.
This deletes all previously configured Families. However, the IAACU will
automatically discover connected appliances and their network settings.
Installing the IBM Advanced Appliance Configuration Utility
These instructions assume that you have installed and powered on the appliance
according to the installation guide procedures. You are now ready to install the
IAACU console application from the Supplementary CD-ROM.
Install the IACCU console application from the Supplementary CD-ROM onto a
Windows NT 4.0 or Windows 2000 workstation that is attached to the same IP
subnetwork to which the appliance is attached.
Note: The IAACU creates a private database that is specific to the IP subnetwork
to which it is attached. Therefore, do not install it on more than one
systems-management console residing on the same IP subnetwork.
For information on how to install the IAACU console, see “Installing the IBM
Advanced Appliance Configuration Utility”.
After you install the IACCU console application, the following steps will take you to
the point where you can administer the appliance.
1. Start the IACCU console application by clicking its icon.
2. On the left pane of the Advanced Appliance Configuration console, select the
appliance to administer. Initially, the appliance name is IBM5196 - serial number ;
the serial number is located in the lower right corner of the bezel on the front of
the appliance.
3. Click Start Web Management to start the UM Services browser. This will open
a separate Web browser window.
4. Proceed to “Accessing Universal Manageability Services” on page 9.
For more information on the IAACU, see “IAACU console” on page 18.
