Page: 33 / 200

The IAACU console enables you to:
v Automatically discover NAS Gateway 300 appliances, as well as other IBM
appliances that run the IAACU agent and are attached to the same physical
subnet as the IAACU console.
v Use a GUI-based application to configure the appliance network settings.
Use the IAACU to assign network parameters such as IP addresses, DNS and
gateway server addresses, subnet masks, and host names.
v Start UM Services Web-based systems-management console.
Launch UM Services on your appliances and perform advanced
systems-management tasks on a selected appliance with a single mouse click.
The IAACU console is divided into two panes:
v Tree View Pane
The Tree View Pane, located on the left side of the IAACU console window,
presents a list of all discovered NAS Gateway 300 appliances. The Tree View
Pane also includes groups for appliances that were not configured using the
IAACU or that have IP addresses that conflict with other devices on your
network. When you click any item in the Tree View, information about that item
(and any items that are nested below that item in the tree view) appears in the
Information Pane.
v
Information Pane
The Information Pane, located on the right side of the IAACU console, displays
information about the item that is currently selected in the Tree View Pane. The
information that appears in the Information Pane varies depending on the item
that is selected. For example, if you select the All Appliances item from the Tree
View Pane, the Information Pane displays configuration information (IP settings,
host name, serial number, and so on) about each of the NAS Gateway 300
appliances that have been discovered by the IAACU console.
The IAACU console also features the following menus:
File Use the File menu to import or export the IAACU console configuration
data, to scan the network, or to exit the program.
Appliance
Use the Appliance menu to remove a previously discovered appliance from
a group.
Help Use the Help menu to display product information.
Discovering NAS Gateway 300 appliances
Any NAS Gateway 300 appliance, or other IBM appliance, that is running and is
connected to the same subnet as the system running the IAACU console is
automatically discovered when you start the IAACU console. Discovered appliances
appear in the IAACU console tree view (in the left pane of the IAACU console
window). Every discovered appliance is listed in the tree view under All Appliances.
