Add the Zones AIM Servers

After adding a Solaris Zone connection to the CA Virtual Assurance manager, add an AIM instance to manage the Solaris Zone environment.

Follow these steps:

1. Open the CA Virtual Assurance user interface from the Start menu. Click Administration, Configuration.

   The Configuration page appears.

2. Select Solaris Zone from the Provisioning section in the left pane.
3. Click (Add) on the Zone AIM Servers pane toolbar.

   The New Zone AIM Server dialog appears.

4. Select the AIM Server from the drop-down list.

   CA Virtual Assurance populates the Instance drop-down list with the Zone Servers listed in the Registered Solaris Zones pane. You can only manage those Zone Servers for which your CA Virtual Assurance manager has a valid connection established.

   Note: If the AIM resides on a remote system, CA Virtual Assurance must discover the system first. After discovery, the AIM server appears in the drop-down list.

5. Select the Instance from the drop-down list and click OK.

   A new AIM instance for the selected Server is added.

   The AIM on the AIM Server is now configured to collect data from the specified Zone Server. If the instance is not in an error or in a stopped state, CA Virtual Assurance starts to discover the associated environment. When the Discovery process is complete, you can start managing the Solaris Zone environment.
