Chapter 4. The Advanced Appliance Configuration Utility
The Advanced Appliance Configuration Utility is used to configure and manage
xSeries Hosting Appliances. If you are adding multiple xSeries Hosting Appliances
to your network, you can use the Advanced Appliance Configuration Utility to
configure multiple xSeries Hosting Appliances simultaneously.
Use the following general procedure to manage the xSeries Hosting Appliance:
1. If you have not already done so, designate a mobile computer, workstation, or
server for appliance management on the same physical subnet as the appliance.
2.
Install and then start the Advanced Appliance Configuration Utility from the
Product Supplementary CD on the workstation (see “Installing and starting the
Advanced Appliance Configuration Utility”).
3. Create groups and add xSeries Hosting Appliances to the groups (see “Using
the group functions to manage your xSeries Hosting Appliances” on page 30).
Installing and starting the Advanced Appliance Configuration Utility
To install and start the Advanced Appliance Configuration Utility, do the
following:
1.
Insert the Product Supplementary CD into the CD-ROM drive of the remote
Microsoft Windows workstation designated for managing appliances.
2. From the IAAConfig directory, run the Setup.exe file.
3.
From the remote workstation you are using to manage the network, go to Start,
then open the IBM Advanced Appliance Configuration Utility (see Figure 10 on
page 30).
Any IBM
Eserver
xSeries Hosting Appliance that is running and is connected
to the same physical subnet as the system that is running the Advanced
Appliance Configuration Utility console is automatically discovered when you
start the Advanced Appliance Configuration Utility. Each xSeries Hosting
Appliance appears in the All Appliances list and one of the following lists: the
appliance list of the group it belongs to, the Unassigned Appliances list, or the
Conflicting IP Address list. A rescan (see “Rescanning” on page 35) forces an
immediate discovery of xSeries Hosting Appliances in the subnet.
Notes:
a. The Advanced Appliance Configuration Utility configures and reports the
TCP/IP settings of the first adapter on each xSeries Hosting Appliance only.
The first adapter is the port 1 Ethernet controller. Be sure to connect the
built-in Ethernet connector to the same subnet as your system running the
Advanced Appliance Configuration Utility.
b. Only one Advanced Appliance Configuration Utility console should be
running at a time on the same physical subnet.
