Creating a Custom NIC Configuration by Adding Components to an Existing Scenario
You can create a custom NIC configuration scenario in SDX Admin by copying an existing configuration scenario and modifying it.
To use SDX Admin to customize a NIC configuration:
- In the navigation pane, select a NIC configuration scenario under l=NIC, ou=staticConfiguration, ou=Configuration, o=Management, o=umc to supply the basic type of resolution.
- Expand the configuration scenario; then expand the agents item and the realms item for the configuration scenario, and review the configuration for each agent and each realm.
- In the navigation pane, select a NIC configuration scenario under l=NIC, ou=staticConfiguration, ou=Configuration, o=Management, o=umc that provides other types of resolutions that you want to add to the first configuration scenario.
- Expand the configuration scenario; then expand the agents item and the realms item for the configuration scenario, and review the configuration for each agent and each realm.
- Make a copy of the base resolution scenario:
- Right-click the configuration scenario under l=NIC, ou=staticConfiguration, ou=Configuration, o=Management, o=umc, and select Copy Tree.
- Right-click the l=NIC item, and select Paste (Configuration).
- In the Paste Configuration dialog box, enter the name of the custom scenario in the Location box, and click OK.
- Expand the configuration for the custom scenario and for the agents, hosts, and realms under that scenario.
- Copy agents to be added to this configuration scenario from another configuration scenario. For each agent to be added:
- Right-click the agent in the configuration scenario that is to be copied, and select Copy Tree.
- Right-click the agent item under the configuration scenario, and select Paste (Configuration).
- If the name of the agent does not appear in the list of agents, in the Paste Configuration dialog box keep the name of the Location the same, and click OK.
If the name of the agent already appears in the list of agents and the configuration for this agent is different, in the Paste Configuration dialog box, enter a new name for the agent in the Location field, and click OK.
- Right-click the resolution under l=realms in configuration scenario that is to be copied, and select Copy Tree.
- Right-click l=realms under the new configuration scenario, and select Paste (Configuration).
- In the Paste Configuration dialog box, keep the name of the location the same, and click OK.
- If a non-Java application is to use the configuration scenario, copy the NIC locator configuration for each resolution:
- Right-click the NIC locator under l=nicLocators in the configuration scenario that is to be copied, and select Copy Tree.
- Right-click l=nicLocators under the new configuration scenario, and select Paste (Configuration).
- In the Paste Configuration dialog box, keep the name of the location the same, and click OK.
