7 Managing servers with VIOM

When you install a new server that can be managed using VIOM and add it to the ServerView server list, then this server is automatically added to the VIOM-specific server group VIOM Manageable.

In order to manage the server with VIOM, you first have to add it to the group of servers managed with VIOM (VIOM Managed). When moving a server from one group to another, you have to define the access rights as well as the protocols and ports used for the individual modules.

The following sections describe how to activate or deactivate VIOM man- agement of a server and how to set or change the access rights and ports.

Please note: A server may always only be managed by one man- agement station with the Virtual-IO Manager. If, nevertheless, you try to manage a server from a different management station, you receive the message that this server is already being managed by a management station.

You can ignore this warning if you want to manage the VIOM from another management station. In this case, however, you need to ensure that the other installation of the Virtual-IO Manager no longer exists. Otherwise you will have undefined statuses in the managed server.

After the Virtual-IO Manager is reconstructed on the CMS due to a hardware failure, uninstalling and reinstalling, etc., you will need to power off all target servers that are managed by the Virtual-IO Man- ager, because the networks have to be reconfigured and the server profiles are reassigned.
