After adding an HMC or an IVM Server connection to the CA Server Automation manager, add an AIM instance to manage the new Server. CA Server Automation then discovers the PowerVM environment.
Follow these steps:
The Configuration page appears.
The right pane refreshes and displays the managed HMC and IVM Servers, associated Virtual I/O Servers, and the LPAR AIM Servers.
The New LPAR AIM Server dialog appears.
The list of discovered LPAR AIM Servers appears. If you have installed the LPAR AIM on the local system, the name of the local system appears in the list too.
CA Server Automation populates the HMC/IVM Server drop-down list with the HMC and IVM Servers listed in the HMC/IVM Servers pane. You can only manage those HMC or IVM Servers for which your CA Server Automation manager has a valid connection established.
Note: If the AIM resides on a remote system, CA Server Automation must discover the system first. After discovery, the AIM server appears in the drop-down list.
A new AIM instance for the selected Server is added. If the instance is not in an error or in a stopped state, CA Server Automation starts to discover the associated PowerVM environment:
When the discovery process is complete, you can start managing your PowerVM environment.
The Administration Tab shows an aggregated state for all the P Systems and VIO Servers the AIM discovered. To view their individual configuration state press the Show Managed Systems icon.
