This topic provides instructions for adding the AIX server and IBM frame agentless managed object to BMC Server Automation.
This topic provides instructions for installing the IBM AIX server agent.
Install the RSCD agent on the AIX server that acts as the proxy server as described in Installing only the RSCD agent (Linux and UNIX). Be sure to install the RSCD agent that is specifically designated for use with an AIX server.
Tip
Because the IBM frame agentless managed object is managed through a proxy, do not overload the proxy server. The recommendation is to map one IBM frame agentless managed object to one proxy host. However, if you are using one proxy server to host multiple agentless managed objects, note that all of the agentless managed objects using the proxy host must be running the same version of the IBM configuration object.

Save and close the files.
Proceed to Adding the AIX server and IBM frame object to BMC Server Automation.
For more information about the exports and users.local files, see Setting up configuration files.
AGENTLESS_MANAGED_OBJECT_PROXY_HOST
property.Click the Instances tab and edit the new Connection instance.
When you added the agentless managed object, BMC Server Automation automatically created a Connection instance with the name Connection_ <agentlessManagedObjectName>
(where <agentlessManagedObjectName>
is the name of the IBM frame object). This instance contains the connection details to the IBM frame.
Note
Your user role must have the appropriate RBAC permissions to update the Connection instance, otherwise the association between the instances will not be created and the server will not be enrolled. Also, if a Connection instance is already associated with the Virtualization instance then a new instance is not automatically created.
Set the following properties for the newly added Connection instance:
Property | Value |
---|---|
CONNECTION_URL | Enter the name of the Primary HMC Server which manages the Frame (for example, hmc.env.xyz.com ). |
CONNECTION_USER | Enter the name of a user who has administrative access to the frame in the HMC mentioned in the above property. |
CONNECTION_PASSWORD | Enter the password of the user that is mentioned in the above property. |
To distribute the IBM configuration object on the IBM frame server, complete the following steps:
For details, see Distributing configuration objects. You can now use the BMC Server Automation Console to Live Browse the IBM frame server and access the IBM Configuration node.
For details on adding a server and setting its properties, see Adding a server to the system.
