DMI Service Layer, ECC Memory, a System Partition, a RAID adapter, or a
PFA-enabled disk drive. This enables a network administrator to remotely
access these services on other systems within a network. However, the
installation program installs the base program that enables local use of the
service only if the required hardware or system configuration is present.
9. Configure the Network Drivers.
If the installation configuration allows for network access, enter information
regarding the communication protocols that are supported by the system. The
Network Driver Configuration window will appear.
Follow these steps to continue configuring the system:
a. Enter a System Name.
Enter a name for the system in the System Name field. This name will help
other Netfinity Manager users identify the system on the network.
b. Select a Network Driver.
Select one of the available Network Drivers that are displayed in the Network
Drivers field. Once selected, the Network Driver will assign a network
address to the system.
Notes:
1) The fields that appear beneath the Driver Enabled check box will change
depending on which Network Driver you select.
2) When enabling the IPX or TCP/IP Network Driver, the network address
cannot be altered, and it will not appear on the screen. No field will
appear beneath the Driver Enabled check box if you select the IPX or
TCP/IP Network Driver.
3) When enabling the NetBIOS Network Driver, a network address will be
selected and displayed in the Network Address field. To change this
default name, enter any 1–8 character address. However, this address
must be unique to the system. If this NetBIOS address is identical to the
NetBIOS address of another system on the network, it will prevent
Netfinity Manager from starting properly.
4) When enabling the Serial Netfinity Manager driver, type a name that will
be used to identify the system in the Unique Machine Dialup Name
field. This name can be up to 32 characters long, and must be unique to
the system. If this name is not unique, it can prevent remote Netfinity
Manager users from using the Serial Connection Control service to access
the system.
c. Enable the Network Driver.
When you have entered all required information, click the Driver Enabled
check box to activate the driver on startup.
If the system supports multiple network interfaces, add additional network
drivers by repeating steps b and c.
d. Identify the system with System Keywords (optional).
To make full use of the Remote System Manager's discovery process, identify
the system (and each of the Netfinity Manager systems that are on the
network) with descriptive system keywords. Enter these keywords in the
appropriate System Keywords fields.
e. Select Netfinity Manager Options (optional)
Click on the Options button to open the Netfinity Manager Options window.
The Netfinity Manager Options window contains special options that affect
Netfinity Manager network operations. Available options include:
