Complete all configuration tasks that apply to your newly installed system. Two configuration tools are available to assist you.

Depending on which type of console you are using, one of the following usually begins automatically after installation:

Notes:

If your system was installed by a network installation server, the Configuration Assistant or Installation Assistant does not display when the BOS installation program completes.
If your system was installed using a system backup image, or if your BOS installation was customized, or if you selected migration installation from AIX®, the Configuration Assistant or Installation Assistant might not display when the BOS installation program completes.
The Configuration Assistant and the Installation Assistant do not contain the tasks needed to configure your machine as a server. If you need to configure your system for a specific resource, refer to the documentation pertaining to that resource.
If your terminal type is not set, the first menu displayed by the ASCII Installation Assistant requires you to enter your terminal type (TTY). If you enter a terminal type that is not valid, this menu redisplays until a valid type is entered.
If you enter a valid terminal type that does not match your terminal, the next screen displayed might be unreadable. In this case, press the break key sequence to return to the Set Terminal Type screen. For most terminal types, the break key sequence is Ctrl-C.
