Testing the Service Processor Setup
This section contains sample testing procedures to help ensure your service processor 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 969.
The server should be powered off as a result of the “Service Processor Setup Checklist” on page 967.
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.
Testing Call-Out
During the service processor setup, you entered your phone numbers for the pager and customer voice.
These numbers are used for this test.
1. Your remote terminal is disconnected as a result of the Call-In test.
2. Call your server again.
3. At the service processor Main Menu, select
Call-In/Call-Out Setup
menu, then select
Call-Out
test.
This action causes a simulated error condition for the purposes of this test.
4. After a few moments, a message displays, regarding an illegal entry. Press Enter to clear the message
and return to the main menu.
5. When your telephone rings, answer the call. You should hear the sound of a telephone being dialed.
This is your computer trying to page you.
If this test is successful, call-out is working correctly.
