Add Serviced Systems

To add serviced systems to your configuration database, use the add system command. The following example shows the steps using the LAT connection

Start the configuration editor as described in the section Starting the Configuration Editor, earlier in this chapter.
Enter the following command:
```
CM Edit> add system
```
Enter the name of the system. The name cannot contain spaces or tabs. For systems using pseudo-terminals, the system name must be unique in the first 15 characters.
```
System name: salt
```
Enter a description of the system:
```
Information: Part of the Cruet Group
```
Enter the primary host:
```
Primary Host (): SALT
```
Enter the secondary host:
```
Failover Host (): PEPPER
```

Enter the type of connection

Connection type [1=LAT, 2=TELNET, 3=Direct, 4=Pseudo-Terminal, 5=SSH] (1):

Depending on what you chose for step 7, enter further information about the connection:
If you chose a connection type of LAT,

Enter the name for the remote terminal or console server:
```
Terminal server: 
```
Enter the name of the terminal server port:
```
Terminal server port:
```
If you chose a connection type of TELNET,

Enter the name for the remote terminal or console server:
```
Terminal server:
```
Enter the number of the TELNET listener:
```
TELNET Listener Number:
```
If you chose a connection type of Direct,

Enter the name for the direct terminal device:
```
Terminal device:
```
Enter the desired terminal speed:
```
Terminal speed [1=300,2=1200,3=2400,4=4800,5=9600,6=19200,7=38400] (5)
```
If you chose a connection type of Pseudo-terminal,

Enter the command for the pseudo-terminal to execute:
```
Pseudo-terminal command:
```
If you chose a connection type of SSH,

Enter the name for the remote terminal or console server:
```
Terminal server:
```
Enter the number of the TELNET listener:
```
TELNET Listener Number:
```
Enter the security profile name:
```
Security profile name (?=list):
```
Enter the name of the event or events you wish to scan for:
```
Scan name (?=list): HSC70
```
You are prompted for the default halt key and the halt sequence for the system.
The halt key is a single control key, for example CTRL_P. This is the default key the user will enter to halt the system. The halt key is also a user preference that may be set when using the MONITOR, CONNECT or C3 interfaces.

The halt sequence can be up to eight ASCII characters. These are the actual characters that will be sent to halt the system. To generate a break signal, enter the reserved keyword BREAK.

Note: The halt sequence field may accept more than 8 ASCII characters, however only the first 8 characters will be recognized.

If your system does not require the settings, take the default selection, which is Control-P for each:

Enter the default halt key for the system:

Halt key (CTRL_P):

Enter the halt sequence for the system:

Halt sequence – Press Enter or type “\16” to use CTRL_P (\16):

Enter the name of the icon to use for the system:

Icon filename (?=list (Generic.xbm)): rx7620.xbm

You are asked whether you want to log console data. If you do, enter a location:
```
Log console data? [Y/N] (Y): y
Log directory (CONSOLE$LOGFILES):
```
You are asked whether the console should be enabled:
```
Enable Console? [Y/N] (Y): y
```
You are asked whether or not you wish to add the system.
```
OK to add? [Y/N] (Y): y
```

The following is an example of what you see on your screen:

Database contains NO verification errors

CM Edit> add sys system 
System name: salt 
Information: Part of the Cruet Group 
Connection type [1=LAT, 2=TELNET, 3=Direct, 4=Pseudo-Terminal, 5=SSH] (1): 1 
Terminal server: CMSRV1 
Terminal server port: CM01 
Scan name (?=list): HSC70 
Icon filename (?=list (Generic.xbm)): VAX_8250.xbm 
Log console data? [Y/N] (Y): y 
Log directory (CONSOLE$LOGFILES):
Enable Console? [Y/N] (Y): y
OK to add? [Y/N] (Y): y

If you attempt to add a system that already exists in the configuration database, a message is displayed and the system is not added.
