Testing the Setup
This section contains sample testing procedures to help ensure your setup is working.
These tests include communicating with the server operating system. Before you start,
ensure that the necessary serial port(s) is configured. If you need assistance, refer to
“Serial Port Configuration” on page 141.
The server should be powered off as a result of the “Service Processor Setup
Checklist” on page 139.
Testing Call-In
1. At your remote terminal, call in to your server. Your server answers and offers you
the service processor Main Menu after requesting your privileged-access password.
2. Select System Power Control.
3. Select Power-On System.
When you are asked if you wish to continue powering on the system, type Y.
4. After the system firmware and operating system have initialized the server, the login
prompt displays at your remote terminal if you set up seamless modem transfer.
This may take several minutes. When the login prompt displays, you have
successfully called the service processor.
5. Type logout to disconnect from the operating system. The message
No Carrier
displays on your remote terminal.
6. Call your server again. The operating system answers and offers you the login
prompt. If these tests are successful, call-in is working.
7. Log in and type shutdown -F to shut down your server.
8. The message
No Carrier
displays on your remote terminal.
