Final System Parameters List Button
You can choose to set the System tab parameters now or at the first boot of the client. If you select
first boot, you do not need to modify any parameter on the System tab now.
DHCP Managed Primary NIC Selection
This check box is used to control whether the primary network interface is configured using
information obtained via DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol). When this is selected, the
IP Address and Subnet Mask fields are not shown.
Hostname Text Box
Your client must have a unique system name. A hostname must fulfill the following conditions:
• It should contain more than 8 characters and less than 31 characters, for compatibility with
the uname command.
NOTE: Disks configured with VxVM volume manager supports hostname upto 32 characters
(including the terminating null).
• It must contain only letters, numbers, underscore (_), or hyphen (-).
• It must start with a letter. Uppercase letters are not recommended.
For more information, see hostname(1).
IP Address Text Box
Use this field to enter the IP address in the form: n.n.n.n, where each n is a number 0 through
255.
To determine the IP address of an existing system, use nslookup. For example, if the hostname
of the client is test, enter the following:
#nslookup test
Name Server: server.corp.com
