Appliance System Manager is a program that you can use to configure and manage
the resources of the IBM xSeries 135 appliance server. For more information about this
application program, see the Appliance System Manager Administration Guide.
Appliance System Manager is accessed through a Web browser on a computer that
has network access to the appliance server. Appliance System Manager enables the
system administrator to change system settings and other configuration settings for
the appliance.
To access Appliance System Manager, do the following:
1. Open a browser on a computer that has network access to the appliance server.
2. Go to https://appliance_IP_address:1999 where appliance_IP_adress is the IP
address of the appliance. The appliance main page appears.
3. Click Appliance Administration.
4. Accept the new site certificate when prompted.
5. When prompted, type administrator for the user name and password for the
password. In the ASM Main Page, you can perform configuration tasks. See the
Appliance System Manager Administration Guide for more information about
configuring the appliance.
The IBM Advanced Appliance Configuration Utility aids in setting up and
reconfiguring the network configuration on your IBM xSeries 135 appliance servers.
The Advanced Appliance Configuration Utility agent, which is preinstalled on your
IBM xSeries 135 appliance server, works with the Advanced Appliance Configuration
™
Utility console, a Java
system that will be used as a systems management console that enables automatic
detection of IBM xSeries appliance servers on the network. When the appliance server
is detected by the Advanced Appliance Configuration Utility console, use the
Advanced Appliance Configuration Utility to set up and manage the network
configuration of the appliance, including assigning the IP address, default gateway,
network mask, and DNS server to be used by the appliance. You can also use the
Advanced Appliance Configuration Utility to start Appliance System Manager,
enabling you to perform more advanced systems-management tasks.
