SSL certificates
When accessing Appliance System Manager using SSL (http-s), it is normal for your
browser to issue a warning that the certificate of the server is not signed by a trusted
authority.
Browsers issue this warning to notify you that no trusted third party has verified the
identity of the server to which you are connecting.
Your communications with Appliance System Manager are still encrypted and
protected from eavesdropping when you uses http-s URLs.
IBM Advanced Appliance Configuration Utility
You can use the IBM Advanced Appliance Configuration Utility to set up and
reconfigure the network configuration on your xSeries appliance server. The IBM
Advanced Appliance Configuration Utility agent, which is preinstalled on your IBM
xSeries appliance server, works with the Advanced Appliance Configuration Utility
console, a Java
™
-based application that is installed on a network-attached system that
will be used as a systems-management console that enables automatic detection of
appliance servers on the network. After the Advanced Configuration Utility console
detects the appliance server, use the Advanced Appliance Configuration Utility to set
up and manage the network configuration for the appliance, including assigning the
IP address, default gateway, network mask, and DNS server to be used by the
appliance. You also can use the Advanced Appliance Configuration Utility to start
Appliance System Manager on the appliance server, enabling you to perform more
advanced systems-management tasks.
Notes:
1. The Advanced Appliance Configuration configures and reports the TCP/IP
settings of the first adapter on each appliance server only. The first adapter is
typically the built-in Ethernet 1 controller. Be sure to connect the built-in Ethernet
1 connector to the same physical network as your systems-management console.
2. The Advanced Appliance Configuration Utility must be running to configure
newly installed appliance servers automatically.
3. The system that is running the Advanced Appliance Configuration Utility console
automatically maintains a copy of its database (ServerConfiguration.dat) in the
Advanced Appliance Configuration Station installation directory. To remove
previous configuration data, close the Advanced Appliance Configuration Utility,
delete this file, and then restart the utility. This deletes all previously configured
