Initial network adapter selection and connection to the IAACU
Unlike the limited number of network adapter placement options in the previous
release, in this release there are an increased number of network adapter types
and locations from which you can connect. Assuming you have a keyboard and
monitor attached, perform the following steps to take into account the new adapter
placement options:
1. Decide which adapter will be used to connect to the IAACU, and connect the
appropriate cable type.
2. Open the Network and Dial-up Connections panel. (From the desktop, right-click
My Network Places , and select Properties .)
3. Determine the connection name of the adapter that you have selected to use.
Move the mouse cursor over the adapter name, and a description of the adapter
type will appear. If this is inconclusive, right-click the adapter, and select
Properties . Under the General tab, click Configure . The line that contains the
location information will provide the adapter’s slot location. For example,
Location 1 means the adapter is in PCI slot number 1. Close the adapter
properties panel.
4. On the Network and Dial-up Connections menu bar, select Advanced and then
Advanced Settings . From the Connections menu, select the adapter’s
connection name. Then using the down arrow, move the selection down to the
next-to-last position in the list. (The last entry in the list should be the
remote
access connections , shown as the telephone icon.) Save your changes by
clicking OK .
5. The IAACU will now detect the appliance using the adapter that you have just
enabled.
IAACU agent
The IAACU agent is preinstalled on the NAS Gateway 300 appliance.
After you connect the NAS Gateway 300 to your network, the IAACU agent
automatically reports the appliance serial number and type, the MAC address of its
onboard Ethernet controller, and whether DHCP is in use by the appliance.
Furthermore, it reports the host name, primary IP address, subnet mask, primary
DNS server address, and primary gateway address if these are configured on the
system.
Note: The IAACU agent periodically broadcasts the appliance IP settings. To
prevent the service from broadcasting this data periodically, stop the
iaaconfig service.
IAACU console
The IAACU console is a Java application that you install on one system in your
network for use as a systems-management console. For information on how to
install the IAACU console, see “Installing the IBM Advanced Appliance Configuration
Utility” on page 17.
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.
