Adding and Deleting Managed Systems

Use this procedure to add and delete managed systems. You must have administrator or advanced privileges to add or delete systems.

Procedure

1. Launch and log on to PortAssist Manager.
2. From Network View or any other screen, choose Setup > System List.
3. To delete a system, choose Delete associated with the system. 

   To add a system, do the following:

   1. Provide a display name for the system. This name must be 32 or fewer characters.
   2. Specify a valid DNS name or IP address for the system.
   3. Assign a UDP port number for PortAssist Manager to use when communicating with the PortAssist Manager communication agent on the managed system. You will need only to change the default port number if it is in use already for the server or for the system with the adapters. For more information on changing the UDP port, go to "Changing the UDP Port" for any of the following systems. 
      • AIX
      • Linux
      • Novell NetWare
      • SCO OpenServer
      • SCO UnixWare
      • Sun Solaris
      • Windows NT/2000 

   Note: If you change the UDP port number here, you must also change it in the driver configuration. See the user documentation for the drivers for more information on how to change the driver configuration.

   4. Choose Add.
   5. Yes appears in the System Located column and the system is now added to PortAssist Manager. Choose Exit Setup to return to Network View. 

      If Retry appears in the System Located column, this means that PortAssist Manager cannot resolve the DNS name. Go to the next step.

   6. Choose Retry.
   7. Yes now appears in the System Located column and your system is now added to PortAssist Manager. Choose Exit Setup to return to Network View. 

   If Retry appears again, your DNS name cannot be resolved on the DNS server. 

   8. Create an IP address with the correct format for your system and choose Add again.
   9. Yes should now appear. Choose Exit Setup to return to Network View.
