Prepare the Manageable Servers for Discovery

Before you can use the N1 System Manager to discover manageable servers, each manageable server must be set up as follows:

• An IP address must be assigned to each manageable server's management port.

• A minimum set of management processor credentials must be configured on each manageable server. The type of credential to be configured depends on the manageable server management processor and whether the manageable server has been configured with factory default credentials.

For further information, see Setting Up Manageable Servers in Sun N1 System Manager 1.3 Site Preparation Guide.

Install an OS and the N1 System Manager software on your management server at the same time you set up your manageable servers and the RIS server.
