IBM xSeries 130: User’s Reference
Creating a group
When you create a group, appliance servers that match the appliance type of the
group and are members of the Unassigned Appliances list automatically move to that
group. To create a group, do the following:
1. Start the Advanced Appliance Configuration Utility. From the Group menu, click
Create Group . The Advanced Appliance Configuration Utility Group Wizard
window opens.
2. Specify a group name. In the Group Name field, type a unique name that will
identify the group.
3. Select the Appliance Group type. The appliance group determines what purpose
an appliance server must serve to be included in the group. You can select one of
the following values:
• All xSeries appliance servers
• xSeries Network Attached Storage Appliances (this includes the xSeries 150)
• xSeries Web Hosting Appliances (this includes the xSeries 130 and xSeries
135)
4. If you want this group to manage the network settings of the assigned appliance
servers using the Advanced Appliance Configuration Utility, click
Yes , and then
specify the TCP/IP network settings to be used by members of the group. If you
do want to use DHCP or some other tool to configure your IP address, click
No
and proceed to step 5.
Start IP Address
This is the lowest IP address in a range of IP addresses that can be
automatically assigned to an appliance that is a member of the group.
End IP Address
This is the highest IP address in a range of IP addresses that can be
automatically assigned to an appliance that is a member of the group.
Subnet Mask
This is the subnet mask value to automatically assign for members of the
group.
Default Gateway
This is the IP address for the default gateway to automatically assign for
members of the group (optional).
DNS Address
This is the IP address of the Domain Name Server (DNS) to automatically
assign for members of the group (optional). Up to three entries are
available.
Use Current Host Name
This is the host name of the appliance server, and it is not automatically
assigned.
Use "i"Prefix and Model-Serial number
The host name is set to use an "i" prefix and the model and serial number
of the appliance server. This is the default name that is preconfigured on
xSeries 130 appliance servers. For example, an appliance server with
the model number of 86545DX and serial number of 23T9762 yields a
host name of i86545DX23T9762.
Use Prefix-IP Address
A user-specified prefix is combined with the appliance server IP address
to generate the host name. Periods (.) are invalid in a host name, and are
replaced with hyphens (-). When you supply the prefix, remember that
the total length of the host name cannot exceed 15 characters.
