Edit Assignment Page

Use this page to edit the selected assignment configurations, including the image properties and the list of hardware servers that you want to provision.

On this page, you can modify the name and description of the selected assignment.

The following table describes the input fields on this page.

Page Elements Description
New Network Modify the network component for the selected image. Alternatively, click Select to view a list of existing network components and select the appropriate component.
Reset Timeout

This is the time that you set for the hardware server to come up and establish connections with the OMS after it has been rebooted.

The default value that is populated is 50 minutes. You can delete this value and specify an appropriate reset timeout value.

Note: You cannot specify a value that is less than 5 minutes.

After the image has been staged on to the staging server, the hardware servers that are being provisioned with this image will be rebooted. The application will then start installing the Linux operating system and the Management Agent. The time span that you specify here, is the time in which you expect the installation to be complete and the Linux OS and the Management Agent to come up. If the agent fails to start communicating with the associated OMS within this time span, the target will be moved to an "error" state.

To resolve this issue, you can try to re-provision the image.

Boot Server Select an appropriate Boot Server to be used for the selected provisioning assignment. The boot servers that are listed here, are the ones that have been configured by the administrator (on the Administration tab).
Staging Server

Select an appropriate staging server. You can select from the list of staging servers that have been configured by the administrator.

Staging Server Credentials

The staging server credentials are required to access the staging server. This is the server on which the selected image will be staged before starting the provisioning activity.

Note: You must have write permissions on this server.

You can choose to use the preferred credentials or override these credentials. If you choose to override the preferred credentials, you must specify the appropriate username and password for that staging server.
