ClearPath IX Systems Installation and Configuration Guide

Installation Checklists and Tips
Changing SPO Aliases
The SPO aliases listed in Table 2–2 are automatically assigned to some host names for
predefined SPO/HMP Console configurations. If you must change an alias for some
reason, perform the steps described in 16.4 to modify the SPO/HMP Console default
configurations. For example, if you have a second ClearPath IX server on the same LAN as
another ClearPath IX server, you could change the names for the second ClearPath IX
server as described in 16.4.
Configuring CMS 1100
Sites must configure CMS 1100 to define LAN connections for Intel nodes, IP addresses for
OS 2200 nodes and system consoles, Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) Agent
communities for SysAdmin, and at least one TCP/IP path to each OS 2200 node so that
Integration Expert can be used to further customize the configuration.
See 16.1 for more information.
Changing Passwords Following Installation
Throughout the installation procedures, predefined passwords are used to simplify initial
installation of the software, or they are supplied for preinstalled software. To prevent
unauthorized access to data or programs, the site must change those passwords following
hardware RFU.
Modifying Windows NT/2000 Server Network Settings after Installation
Network settings that you enter during installation can be modified later. (There are two
exceptions; see below.) If you are unsure of a particular value while you are installing a
server, you can enter what you believe is correct and change it later if you discover an
error. If you expect to make such changes, it is recommended that you do not connect the
server to the client’s network until you have made the corrections. Otherwise you risk
disrupting the client’s network operation.
Two items cannot be changed without a reinstallation:
• A server’s operation mode (stand-alone server, primary domain controller, or backup
domain controller).
• A server’s DNS domain. IIS does not register changes to this value after installation.
2.4. Additional Site Requirements
Additional requirements sites should plan for include
• Obtaining workstation hardware to support DEPCON (2.4.1).
• Planning for a network if they do not currently have one (2.4.2).
• Planning to integrate with an existing SPO server (optional), if they already have one
(2.4.3).
