ClearPath IX Systems Installation and Configuration Guide

Installation Checklists and Tips
If SPO Console is already installed, the site can use the temporary key provided in
Appendix C to enable the SPO interface that allows management of the ClearPath IX
server.
To enable control of a ClearPath IX server from an existing SPO Console server, the site
must
• Migrate to SPO Console level 4.3 or higher (must be at that level to manage a ClearPath
IX server).
• Customize existing SPO Console configurations to add host representations for the
ClearPath IX nodes.
• Modify existing Autoaction Message System (AMS) databases to add ClearPath IX
server automation logic and to ensure that it does not conflict with existing
automation logic.
• Copy and install agent files to enable communication with the Windows 2000,
Windows NT, and UnixWare nodes (see Section 10).
Other SPO Console installation instructions are contained in the following documents:
• Single Point Operations Installation Guide
• Single Point Operations Administration and Configuration Guide
• Single Point Interface Software Installation and Configuration Guide
Integration of an existing SPO Console server with the ClearPath IX server is the
responsibility of the site, or is a purchased service available from Unisys.
Sites migrating to this release from a previous release should refer to the ClearPath HMP
IX and 2200 Systems Software Planning and Migration Overview for more information
about migrating their existing SPO server.
