When creating an L-Server, network devices which are the targets of auto-configuration are selected and deployed when automatic configuration is successful.
Use the following operations to configure whether network devices are the targets or are not targets of auto-configuration.
Configuring a network device as the target of auto-configuration
When configuring a network device as the target of auto-configuration, an infrastructure administrator should use the commands to perform the operation.
The specified network device is configured as the target of auto-configuration, using the rcxadm netdevice set command with the -attr auto_conf=true option specified.
Excluding a network device from auto-configuration
In following cases, the network device is excluded from the targets of auto-configuration:
When an infrastructure administrator is temporarily excluding the network device from auto-configuration
The specified network device is excluded from the target of auto-configuration, by using the rcxadm netdevice set command with the -attr mode=active option specified.
When auto-configuration fails due to problems (such as login failure or device failure) related to network devices
When an infrastructure administrator is excluding the network device from the targets of auto-configuration during network device registration
By executing the rcxadm netdevice create command or the rcxadm netconfig import command after specifying "false" in the AutoConfiguration element of the network configuration information, it is excluded from the targets of auto-configuration during network device modification.
When an infrastructure administrator is excluding the network device from the target of auto-configuration during network device modification
By executing the rcxadm netdevice modify command after specifying "false" in the AutoConfiguration tag of the network configuration information, it is excluded from the targets of auto-configuration during network device modification.
Example
When an infrastructure administrator is configuring the network device using auto-configuration
# /opt/FJSVrcvmr/bin/rcxadm netdevice set -name nd01 -attr auto_conf=true <RETURN> |
When an infrastructure administrator is excluding the network device from auto-configuration
# /opt/FJSVrcvmr/bin/rcxadm netdevice set -name nd01 -attr auto_conf=false <RETURN> |
Use the rcxadm netdevice show command to confirm if the network device is the target of auto-configuration.
Confirm if the network device is the target of auto-configuration using "AutoConfiguration" displayed in the display results of the show subcommand.
true
Indicates that the network device is the target of auto-configuration.
false
Indicates that the network device is not the target of auto-configuration.
