Appliances that are running the IAACU agent, but that have a network
configuration that was not set by the IAACU agent or console, will appear in
the Orphaned Externally Configured Appliances group. If an appliance is
contained in the Orphaned Externally Configured Appliances group, you can
use the Adopt By First Matching Family function to add it to a previously
defined Family. For more information, see “Using the Adopt by First Matching
Family Function” on page 14.

Using Families and Groups in the Tree View
Families are important elements of the IAACU. They specify the parameters that the
IAACU uses to automatically categorize discovered appliances and to configure
them with the appropriate network settings. Family rules are defined solely by
appliance type or purpose. Each Family can contain only one type of appliance.
The only way to automatically apply predetermined network settings to newly
installed and discovered appliances is to create and use Families.

The only way to automatically apply predetermined network settings to newly
installed and discovered appliances is to create and use Families.
Appliances that match the rules criteria for a Family group can be automatically
configured to use predefined network settings. A Family can be configured to allow
appliances to use DHCP to configure their IP settings, or can be defined to
automatically assign IP settings (such as primary gateway and DNS server
addresses, assigning an IP address from a specified IP address range, and
specifying a subnet mask). Host names for discovered appliances can also be
defined so that they are allocated using either a prefix or appliance serial number.

The IAACU is not the only way to configure network settings. For example, network
settings can be configured using Terminal Services for Windows or by attaching a
keyboard and mouse to the appliance and using Windows Control Panel. If the
appliance network settings have been configured by a method other than using the
IAACU, the appliance will be discovered by the IAACU and it will be added to an
appropriate Family, if one exists. Appliances that have been configured using a
method other than the IAACU for which no appropriate family exists will appear in
the Orphaned Externally Configured Appliances group.

The Tree View Pane contains the following items:
v
All Appliances
Every discovered appliance is listed in the tree view under All Appliances.
v
Families
The Families group in the Tree View Pane shows all Families that have been
defined, with appliances that have already been assigned to each Family nested
beneath the Family name in the tree view. Families are defined by appliance
purpose, so all appliances that appear in a given family are of the same type. If
you select a Family from the Tree View Pane, a description of the Family and the
rules that are used to define the selected Family display in the Information Pane.
If you select an appliance from a Family in the Tree View Pane, the selected

If you are not using DHCP, the IAACU automatically assigns one IP address per
appliance, using available addresses within the range defined in the Family rules.
When a Family’s IP address range has been exhausted, the IAACU automatically
searches for other Families that have rules matching the appliance being
configured. If a matching Family with an available address is found, the appliance
will automatically be assigned to the Family that has available IP addresses. This
enables you to define multiple Families, each of which uses a set of
non-contiguous IP address ranges.
