Completing the configuration:
To complete the configuration of the Remote
Supervisor Adapter, see the
Remote Supervisor Adapter User’s Guide
on the
xSeries
360 Documentation
CD. The tasks include the following:
•
Defining the login IDs and passwords
•
Selecting the events that will receive alert notification
•
Monitoring remote server status using the ASM Web interface or a text-based
user interface
•
Controlling the server remotely
If you want to set up an ASM interconnect network and have not already done so,
continue with “Using the ASM interconnect network”. If you do not want to set up an
ASM interconnect network, Remote Supervisor Adapter configuration is now
complete. To start managing the server remotely, see the
Remote Supervisor
Adapter User’s Guide
on the
xSeries 360 Documentation
CD.
Using the ASM interconnect network
This section explains how to configure and connect the server to function within an
ASM interconnect network.
The ASM interconnect network can include as many as 12 individual ASM
connections in a single bus. These connections can include Remote Supervisor
Adapters, ASM processors, and ASM PCI Adapters. When the clients and servers
are connected, they use the ASM interconnect network to share ASM resources,
information, and alerts among multiple servers, without having to add additional
communications hardware or network interface adapters.
An ASM interconnect network provides two levels of functionality. First, the ASM
interconnect network enables you to configure settings and to control the servers
where other Remote Supervisor Adapters, ASM processors, and ASM PCI Adapters
on the network reside. Second, the ASM interconnect network enables other
interconnect network devices to use the resources (Ethernet or modem) of other
Remote Supervisor Adapters, ASM processors, and ASM PCI Adapters in the ASM
interconnect network for sending alerts. This interconnect network is used when
Remote Supervisor Adapters, ASM processors, or ASM PCI Adapters cannot send an
alert and must forward the information to another one of these devices to send the
alert.
