Basic configuration - AIX


The Basic Config tab lets you provide local information about a server, such as its name and the password needed to access the machine.

Field definitions

Computer name (Required)

The unique name that should be assigned to the server. Enter a name or click Select Property g_v95_PropertiesIcon.gifto insert a parameter that refers to a local property to supply the value for this field.

OM Server Name

(Optional) Specifies a different name for this server to display when it appears in the TrueSight Server Automation Console. Enter a name or click Select Property g_v95_PropertiesIcon.gifto insert a parameter that refers to a local property to supply the value for this field.
If you want this server to display its Computer name when it appears in the TrueSight Server Automation Console, leave the OM Server Name field blank.
If you do choose to use a different OM Server Name for this machine, make sure that this new name can be resolved to the IP address of the server.

NIM Machine name

The name by which this machine is known within the NIM environment. The provisioning process creates a machine object with this name in the NIM database. The name must be a legal NIM machine name (one that does not include periods).
If you do not explicitly specify a name in this field, the Computer name is used as the NIM machine name. In that case, you must make sure that the Computer name is a legal NIM machine name.

Root password

The password used to access the root account. Enter a password. Then confirm your typing by entering the password again in the Confirm password field.

Proceed to the Target disk - AIX tab.
