HP-UX Directory Server 8.1 console guide

3 Managing server instances
The server instances managed by the Directory Console are arranged in a hierarchy. At the top
is the admin domain. Within the domain are hosts, representing different server machines. Each
host has server groups, which identifies an inter-related group of Directory Servers using the
same Administration Server instance. The individual Directory Server instances and a single
Administration Server instance belong withing a server group. There can only be one
Administration Server instance per server group.
These high level entries can be created and managed in the Directory Console.
3.1 Editing domain, host, server group, and instance information
The Console displays some information about every admin domain, host, group, and server
instances. Most of this information, such as the installation date and build number, cannot be
edited, but some information can.
1. In the Servers and Applications tab, select the entry to modify.
2. Click Edit.
3. Edit the instance's information. Every entry has the option to change its name and description.
The host, which is the physical machine on which the instances are installed, also has the
option of changing the location.
