IBM BladeCenter HX5, Installation And User Manual

Page: 89 / 142

The KCS access method uses the IPMI/KCS interface. This method requires
that the IPMI driver be installed. Some operating systems have the IPMI
driver installed by default. ASU provides the corresponding mapping layer.
See the
Advanced Settings Utility User's Guide for more details. You can access
the guide from http://www.ibm.com/systems/support/supportsite.wss/

Remote LAN access. Use the following syntax:
Note: When you use the remote LAN access method to access IMM using
the LAN from a client, the host and the imm_external_ip address are required
parameters.
host imm_external_ip [user imm_user_id [[password imm_password ]
Where:
imm_external_ip
The external IMM LAN IP address. There is no default value. This
parameter is required.
imm_user_id
The IMM account (1 of 12 accounts). The default value is USERID.
imm_password
The IMM account password (1 of 12 accounts). The default value is
PASSW0RD (with a zero, not a letter O).
The following commands are examples of using the user ID and password
default values and not using the default values:
Example that does not use the user ID and password default values:
asu set SYSTEM_PROD_DATA.SYsInfoUUID uuid_value host imm_ip
user user_id password password
Example that does use the user ID and password default values:
asu set SYSTEM_PROD_DATA.SysInfoUUID uuid_value host imm_ip
v
Bootable media:
You can also build a bootable media using the applications available at

Updating the DMI/SMBIOS data
The Desktop Management Interface (DMI) must be updated when the system
board is replaced. Use the Advanced Settings Utility to update the DMI.
To download the ASU and update the DMI, complete the following steps.
1. Download the Advanced Settings Utility (ASU) from http://www.ibm.com/
systems/support/supportsite.wss/docdisplay?lndocid=TOOL-ASU
&brandind=5000016.
2.
ASU sets the DMI in the IMM. Select one of the following methods to access
the IMM to set the DMI:
v
Online from the target system (LAN or keyboard console style (KCS) access)
v
Remote access to the target system (LAN based)
v
Bootable media containing ASU (LAN or KCS, depending upon the bootable
media)
