Configure AIMs with NodeCfgUtil in Dialog Mode
NodeCfgUtil lets you modify the AIM configurations for vCenter Server, IBM
LPAR, Solaris Zones, Microsoft Clusters, Cisco UCS Server, Exchange Server and
Active Directory (ESAD). When you use the utility in dialog mode, you can
configure which nodes the appropriate AIMs manage.
Note: NodeCfgUtil.exe must be run as Windows Administrator.
Follow these steps:
1. Log in as Administrator, open Windows Explorer on the system on which
the AIM resides, change to the SystemEDGE_InstallPath\plugins\AIPCommon
directory, and start NodeCfgUtil.exe. NodeCfgUtil discovers the installed AIMs
and lists only those in subsequent dialogs.
2. Enter 1 to add a new managed node.
NodeCfgUtil can only discover installed AIMs.
3. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the configuration. Each
node requires a valid user name and password for authentication.
4. After a successful configuration, enter 0 to return to previous menus,
or to exit the utility.
NodeCfgUtil writes a configuration file for Solaris Zones (zone.cfg), vCenter
Server (vc.cfg), Microsoft Clusters (mscs.cfg), UCS (ucs.cfg), LPAR (lpar.cfg),
or ESAD (esad.cfg) to the SystemEDGE_InstallPath\plugins\AIPCommon directory.
You can also use the NodeCfgUtil utility to edit or remove existing entries.
The corresponding dialogs are self-explaining.
Note: When removing a server entry, NodeCfgUtil marks this server for deletion,
but it does not remove the server from the user interface or database. To
remove the server from the user interface and database, rediscover the Windows
server on which the AIM runs. The new discovery process detects the deletion
mark and removes the corresponding server from the user interface and database.
Examples
The following example shows the Install Managed Node dialog for the myvc5
server that has been successfully added to the configuration of the vCenter
AIM. The AIM is now ready to manage the vCenter Server. The vCenter AIM is a
multi-instance AIM. So you can repeat this procedure and add more vCenter
Servers that you want to manage with this AIM.
**** Choose Managed Node ****
1. IBM LPAR
2. Solaris Zones
3. VMware vCenter
4. Cisco UCS
5. Microsoft Cluster

The following example shows the Install Managed Node dialog for mydomian that
has been successfully added to the configuration of the ESAD AIM. Management
Entity is set to Active Directory. Management Mode is set to Entire Domain. For
details, see the NodeCfgUtil command mode. The ESAD AIM is a multi-instance
AIM. So you can repeat this procedure and add more entities that you want to
manage with this AIM.
