Options Descriptions
Change the Admin Password Select Change the Admin Password screen to enter a new
password and confirm the password.
For the first time, you must change the password by using the TUI
screen.
Display Current Appliance Status Select Display Current Appliance Status to view the URL and
the status of the appliance. You can also view statuses of the Task
Execution, Event Processing, Tomcat, Database, and Monitoring
services.
Display Current Network Configuration Select Display Current Network Configuration to view the IP
configuration details.
Choose Network Adapter menu lists all the available network
adapters. Clicking on a network adapter will display its current
settings.
Set Appliance Hostname Select Set Appliance Hostname to configure the appliance
hostname on the DNS. This field supports the following valid
characters for host names: alphanumeric (a-z, A-Z, 0-9), periods
( . ), and dashes ( - ).
NOTE: Using periods will designate domain name
information. If the appliance DNS information is
configured statically rather than getting domain details
from DHCP, you must configure the hostname using the
fully qualified domain name (FQDN) so that the domain
search information can be populated.
Set Networking Parameters Select Set Networking Parameters to reconfigure the network
adapters.
Choose Network Adapter menu lists all the available networks
adapters. Select a network adapter, reconfigure its network
parameters, and select Apply to save the changes to the
appropriate interface.
By default, only IPv4 is enabled on primary network interface with a
private static IP in the appliance. However, if a new network
interface is added, both IPv4 and IPv6 are enabled for multihoming.
If the OpenManage Enterprise appliance fails to acquire a IPv6
address, check if the environment is configured for router
advertisements to have the managed bit (M) turned on. Network
Manager from current Linux distributions causes a link failure when
this bit is on, but DHCPv6 is not available. Ensure that DHCPv6 is
enabled on the network or disable the managed flag for router
advertisements.
NOTE:
• DNS configuration is only available on the primary
network interface. If DNS resolution is wanted on
this interface, all host names must be resolvable by
the DNS server configured on the primary interface.
Select Primary Network Interface Select Primary Network Interface allows you to designate a
primary network.
Primary interface selection gives priority to the selected interface
in terms of routing and is used as the default route. This interface
will have the routing priority if there is any ambiguity. The primary
interface is also expected to be the 'public facing' interface which
allows for corporate network/internet connectivity. Different
