Configure AIMs with NodeCfgUtil in Command Mode

NodeCfgUtil.exe lets you modify the AIM configurations for IBM PowerVM, IBM PowerHA, Solaris Zones, VMware vCenter, VMware vCloud, Microsoft Clusters, Cisco UCS, Citrix XenServer, Citrix XenDesktop, RHEV, Active Directory and Exchange Server (ADES), or Huawei GalaX. The utility writes a configuration file for the corresponding AIM to the sysedge_InstallLpath\plugins\AIPCommon directory. You can also use the NodeCfgUtil utility to edit or remove existing entries.

When you use the utility in command mode, you can only add managed nodes to an AIM configuration.

Note: Run NodeCfgUtil.exe as Windows Administrator.
