Automatically propagate hostname/ip address in hardware management interfaces

You can specify up to 6 hardware management interfaces in ACS for every defined system.
We would like to have the field "hostname / ip address" - including the correct URL - automatically propagated with required information.
IBM already knows the correct URL to be used for various interfaces like e.g. IBM i Webadministration -> http://<hostname/ipaddress>:2001/HTTPAdmin
So to propagate this field with correct information should be very easy.


Use Case:

It would be a lot easier to specify hardware management interfaces if the information is automatically inserted from ACS without the need to search for the correct URL.
Especially if you have a lot of systems defined like I do (> 100).

    This support is available in version 1.1.9.5. You can now set default values for each of the Hardware Management Interfaces. See the com.ibm.iaccess.hmiUrl.* properties in AcsConfig.properties. You can also configure them from the command-line using the CFG plugin.
