Information required to add an Assure MIMIX instance - assure_mimix - Latest

Select the product you want and select a portal connection for discovery (a node where that product is installed).

A portal connection to the discovery node must already be configured. Only portal connections supported by the selected product are listed. For example, If MIMIX is selected, only IBM i portal connections are listed.

If you are not logged into the node used for the portal connection for discovery, the Assure UI portal may prompt you to log in, depending on the password option specified in the portal connection. A valid user ID and password for the node are required. You cannot specify a different user ID than defined in the portal connection.

Select the library in which the product is installed on the node.

If the library you expect is not listed, either it is not supported by this version of the Assure UI portal, or you selected a portal connection for discovery for a node where the product is not installed. To select a different portal connection for discovery, click Back.

Specify a name for the instance. The Description can be changed if desired.

The default Instance name is the name of the product library. Each instance name must be unique among all configured instances. Names are case sensitive; however, you cannot have names which differ only in case. Use only alphanumeric characters and underscore (_). The first character cannot be an underscore. Do not use spaces or other special characters in the name.

The default Description identifies the licensed products within the product library.

Specify a portal connection for each node (MIMIX system definition (SYSDFN)) that you want to define to the instance domain. Also, specify the order of the portal connections. Order determines which node will primarily be used to communicate with and run actions for the instance.

The instance domain needs to include nodes on which you need to run actions, or from which you need to retrieve data, such as outfiles for audits.

It is recommended that your primary portal connection be a MIMIX management node and that you also configure a secondary node for managing the instance during a switch or failover.

For INTRA instances, unique portal connections must be specified for each node in the instance even though they have the same host. This ensures that you know from which INTRA installation library the data is obtained.
