ClearPath IX Systems Installation and Configuration Guide

Customizing the Site
nodes in the ClearPath environment. It allows the system administrator to manage
accounts, users, groups, transactions, and system performance.
Note: Installation instruction for SysAdmin are provided in Appendix E.
16.5. Modifying SPO Basic Edition Configurations
Following initial installation, sites can modify SPO Basic Edition configurations to reflect
site-specific naming conventions rather than predefined names.
The steps for modifying SPO Basic Edition configurations depend on whether the desired
name for a node was input as the system name (host name) during the installation process.
• If the desired host names were not input as system names during installation—and
thus not configured as aliases in the hosts file for the SPO server and UnixWare
nodes—you must take the following steps:
1. Remove URM agent files from the SPO server and any UnixWare node being
renamed (see 16.5.1).
2. Edit the SPO server and UnixWare node hosts files to change the node names and
aliases (see 16.5.2). You cannot edit Windows 2000 or Windows NT node hosts
files, because they are in a fixed format that does not allow aliases. You must,
however, change entries in the other hosts files for Windows 2000 and Windows
NT nodes to reflect new names.
3. Copy the new SPO server hosts file to each of the OS 2200 consoles (16.5.3).
4. Replace old node representations in the SPO Basic Edition configurations with
new ones using one of the following methods:
− Use the rename script (16.5.4) to replace all Windows 2000 and Windows NT
node representations with new ones (or optionally use the Single Point
Configuration routine, described in 16.5.5, to replace them one at a time).
− Use the Single Point Configuration routine (16.5.5) to replace representations
of Windows 2000, Windows NT, UnixWare, and OS 2200 nodes, as well as 2200
system consoles and the SPO server.
5. Reinstall the URM agents so they can identify components by their new names
(16.5.6).
• If the desired host names were input as system names during installation procedures,
you only need to replace old representations with new ones (step 4).
16.5.1. Removing the URM Agents
Before editing the SPO server hosts file as described in 16.5.2, you must remove the UNIX
Resource Monitor (URM) agent from the SPO server and any UnixWare node that is being
renamed. Take the following steps:
1. In the Single Point Configuration routine's main menu, click Application, then click
Maintain UNIX Agents.
2. In the Maintain UNIX Agents window menu, click Execute, then Remove.
