Deploying New Managed Servers with Automated Public LAN Configuration
Use the following procedure to add new managed servers and automate their public LAN settings using the network parameter auto-
configuration function:
1. Register the newly added servers.
2. Perform the following procedure on a reference server chosen between already running servers:
a. Clearing Network Parameter Settings
Execute the rcxadm lanctl unset command to clear the network parameters configuration.
b. Editing the definition file
Set up a node entry in the definition file (ipaddr.conf) with the server name, interface entries, and other information for the
server to be added.
c. Manually execute network parameter settings
Execute the rcxadm lanctl set command to apply the network parameters and ensure that the resulted configuration (induced
from the definition file) is correct.
d. Collect the cloning image again.
3. Deploy the collected cloning image to the newly added servers.

1. Execute the rcxadm lanctl unset command to clear the network parameters configuration.
2. Edit the definition file to add, modify, or delete network parameters.
3. Execute the rcxadm lanctl set command to apply the network parameters and ensure that the resulted configuration (induced from
the definition file) is correct.
