FS6200 Server System Implementation Guide - Public Support ...

Customizing the Server Configuration
In the Systems Management Engine
The following tools are used in the systems management engine:
• The installation package for installing the FS6200 Server system complex through the
Master Installation Manager (MIM-Based) utility.
• The Network Services Setup program (used for updates)
In the MCP Console
The following tools are used in the MCP Console:
• The System Editor
• Network Services diagnostics
• Selective diagnostics types
• Mechanisms for initiating the diagnostic handling
• Diagnostics displays that identify diagnostics type, provide a summary, and show
status of each requested component diagnostic
MCP Environment
The following tools are used in the MCP Environment:
• The Simple Installation program which supports installation of the network providers
and supporting utilities
• The Network Administrative Utility (NAU) or a file editing program such as CANDE.
Generally, you use only one of these methods to configure TCP/IP and EVLAN
connections.
- Use the NAU to create new (or edit existing) CNS, TCP/IP, and BNA (optional)
initialization files for this ClearPath server complex. These files define all TCP/IP,
Network Services EVLAN, and Network Services MCP network adapter
connections. Most often, you use NAU in installations that include Heritage
Network Services (BNA) since it can ensure that the BNA initialization files are
consistent on all of the ClearPath MCP hosts in your network.
- Use an editor such as CANDE to make necessary modifications to sample CNS
and TCP/IP initialization files that are provided with the ClearPath server. Refer to
Appendix A “Building Network Initialization Files” of this guide for a description of
these sample initialization files.
Gathering Values for Configuration
This topic discusses gathering networking values if you decide changes are necessary to
your networking configuration.
