IBM DS8000

v The fully qualified domain name servers (DNS) host name string; for
example, xmachine.manhattan.ibm.com.
v The default short DNS host name string; for example, xmachine.
v The numeric IP address; for example, 9.127.255.3.
v The generic name localhost or its equivalent IP address; for example,
127.0.0.1.
Note:
The specified value for the host name is stored by WebSphere
Application Server into its internal configuration files. If you
specified the host name in the fully qualified form or the short host
name string, do not change the host name after the DS Storage
Manager Server installation. If you do, the host name and the name
that you specified for the configuration file no longer match. If you
do change the host name, you must manually edit all the
WebSphere Application Server configuration files that contain
references to the old name to reflect the new name. If you specified
the host name in the form of the numeric IP address, you must use
a fixed IP address for the computer (you cannot use DHCP to obtain
a dynamic IP address for it). The above restrictions do not exist if
you specified the host name as localhost.
b. HTTP Port — The port number that DS Storage Manager Server uses. The
port number must be a port that is not being used by another process on
the system. After DS Storage Manager Server is installed, you must
include this port number in the Web address for opening the console. This
Web address is the protocol name, plus the fully qualified host name, plus
the port, plus DS8000/Console. An example is http://myhost.com:8451/
DS8000/Console
c. HTTPS Port — The port that DS Storage Manager Server uses for secure
HTTP transport (HTTPS).
d. Bootstrap/RMI Port — The port that DS Storage Manager Server uses for
bootstrap port.
e. SOAP Port — The port that DS Storage Manager Server uses for Simple
Object Access Protocol (SOAP).
f. Server help port — The port for the Eclipse help Server. This is the port
that the help system (based on Eclipse technology) uses to receive requests
for help files.
Note: The values used in the Server Parameters window fields must not
conflict with existing port assignments that are already on the system
or reserved for use by another application.
14. Click Next when the Server Parameters window is complete. The SSL
Configuration window is displayed. This window allows you to supply the
fully qualified name of the two server key that are files generated before or
during the DS8000 Storage Manager installation.
15. Follow the instructions on the window.
a. First, designate whether you want to generate a new SSL certificate by
selecting Generate the self-signed certificates during installation. This is
the most likely selection when you are installing the DS8000 Storage
Manager for the first time. You can also select Use existing SSL
certificates. This choice is most likely made when the key files already
exist and you do not want to generate new key files.
b. Complete the rest of the fields on the window. Provide the fully qualified
path to the key file and trust file by using the Browse button. The key file
