Configure PowerHA AIM with NodeCfgUtil in Dialog Mode

The NodeCfgUtil.exe is a utility that lets you modify the AIM configurations. Use the utility in dialog mode to configure which nodes the appropriate AIM manages.

Follow these steps:

1. Log in as Administrator and open Windows Explorer on the computer on which the AIM is installed.
2. Change to the SystemEDGE_InstallPath\plugins\AIPCommon directory, and start NodeCfgUtil.exe.

   NodeCfgUtil discovers and lists the installed AIMs in subsequent dialogs.

3. Enter 1 to add a new managed node.
4. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the configuration. Each node requires a valid user name and password for authentication.
5. After the configuration, enter 0 to return to previous menus, or to exit the utility.

NodeCfgUtil writes a configuration file for PowerHA(hacmp.cfg) to the SystemEDGE_InstallPath\plugins\AIPCommon directory. You can also use the NodeCfgUtil utility to edit or remove existing entries.
