For the past few weeks, I've had my Model 250 system here with V5R2 on it, trying to get things sorted out the best I can. So far, I've had a bit of fun looking through the menus, getting a few things looked at with a friend that knows a lot more than I do, but I'm running into a few stumbling points where managing and setting up the system is concerned.
The first big thing I've been looking at, is System i Navigator since that seems like it's going to be a pretty big part of really making the most of the system. I have the software talking to the server, but only partially. I can't connect to my server using "Management Central" at all, and that service refuses to start manually. I'm also unable to start "HTTP Administration" or "i5/OS NetServer".
I've done some research on this already, and every step I've been able to find that wasn't directly related to adding any kind of SSL certificate to the machine is something I've gone ahead and taken care of. However, it looks like I need these functions (or some of them at least) in order to get that certificate on the machine.
So here it is, my first big newbie question: How can I get Management Central connected?
If it helps, here's a link to hardware information on my system. I can also try and make a list of the installed software I have licenses for as well if someone can tell me how to get a full list in the spool output. One thing I'm wondering about is whether or not I have enough RAM, with only 256 megs that all seems to be pretty close to used up. I plan on ordering some on eBay next week, to try and bring the machine to a full gigabyte when I have some money.
