When a configuration has been changed, the Configuration Summary area lists the steps required to initialize the configuration and shows which steps have been completed or are in progress. When the initialization is successfully completed, the summary area displays the normal Configuration Summary content. Configuration initialization cannot be stopped once it is started.
When the configuration is saved and validated, you can view the progress of the configuration initialization in the Configuration Initialization Progress section in the Configuration Window. As each step is successfully completed, a checkmark appears next to the step. When you change an existing configuration, Assure MIMIX for AIX runs commands for each step.
The step and command sequence can change depending upon the configuration changes that you make. The table below describes steps and commands that are run when you change a configuration:
