vAdd an Orphaned Externally Configured Appliance to an appropriate Family.

Appliances that have been configured without using the IAACU tool and that do not meet the rules for any existing Family are automatically added to the Orphaned Externally Configured Appliances group. If, after the orphaned appliance is discovered, you create a Family that is appropriate for the orphaned appliance, right-click on the orphaned appliance and select Adopt by First Matching Family to move the appliance from the Orphaned Externally Configured Appliances group to the newly created Family.

vMove an appliance from one Family to another appropriate Family that occurs higher in the list of previously defined Families. If there is more than one appropriate Family for a newly discovered appliance, it automatically appears in the first appropriate Family in the list of Families. If you want to move a discovered appliance from one appropriate Family to another appropriate Family:

1.Right-click on the Family that you want the appliance moved to.

2.Select Move Up in List to move the selected Family up in the list of families. Repeat steps 1 and 2 until the Family that you want to add the appliance to displays above the Family that currently contains the appliance.

3.Right-click on the appliance that you want to move to another Family and then select Adopt by First Matching Family.

Universal Manageability Services

The Universal Manageability Services (UM Services) GUI enhances the local or remote administration, monitoring, and maintenance of IBM systems. UM Services is a lightweight client that resides on each managed computer system. With UM Services, you can use a Web browser and UM Services Web console support to inventory, monitor, and troubleshoot IBM systems on which UM Services is installed.

This “point-to-point” systems-management approach, in which you use a Web browser to connect directly to a remote client system, enhances support and enables you to effectively maintain IBM systems without requiring the installation of additional systems-management software on your administrator console.

In addition to point-to-point systems-management support, UM Services also includes support for UM Services Upward Integration Modules. These modules enable systems-management professionals who use any supported systems-management platform (including Tivoli Enterprise, CA Unicenter TNG Framework, and Microsoft Systems Management Server [SMS]) to integrate portions of UM Services into their systems-management console. Because it was designed to use industry-standard information-gathering technologies and messaging protocols, including Common Information Model (CIM), Desktop Management Interface (DMI), and Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), UM Services adds value to any of these supported workgroup or enterprise systems-management platforms.

Complete documentation on how to use UM Services is included on the

Documentation CD that came with the appliance.

System requirements

The UM Services client is preinstalled on the NAS 200 appliance. However, you must have a Web browser installed on your systems-management console. It is recommended that you set Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.x (or later) as the default browser.
