The PMAC configuration feature decouples the PMAC application from the hardware on which it is installed and on the networks that are available. The feature provides the capability to install PMAC as a TVOE guest.
The feature configures the networks that PMAC uses to manage hardware and allows functionality to be enabled or disabled to align with the application being run. PMAC can thus be customized to perform just the functionality required by the application or the platform PMAC is supporting.
The feature is based on a configuration profile, a group of related elements that are packaged in PMAC as a predefined configuration profile. The profile determines the services, networks, and interfaces that are available on the system.
The PMAC GUI provides an initialization wizard that enables personnel to select a profile and modify some of the profile's default networking information. This configuration is performed after the PMAC initial installation and before any PMAC features can be used.
See Configuration Summary page for additional information related to the PMAC application configuration.
