Configuring the serial port
You can either dedicate the integrated serial port on the Remote Supervisor Adapter
to system management or share it with the server operating system. If dedicated to
system management, the serial port serves only the Remote Supervisor Adapter
and is always available for dial-in and dial-out alerting purposes. You will not be
able to monitor the serial port in the operating system or in any other applications.
This design enables a single serial port to conduct normal functions and also
maintain out-of-band alerting capabilities.
Notes for an xSeries 330 server:
1. The ASM processor on an xSeries 330 server uses the two serial ports on the
rear of your server. One of these serial ports can be shared with the server
operating system while the other is dedicated to the ASM processor.
2. You can configure the serial ports on either the Remote Supervisor Adapter or
the ASM processor, depending on which device you are using.
Complete the following steps to configure your serial port. For information about
your serial port, see “Configuring PPP access over the serial port” on page 90.
1. Log in to the Remote Supervisor Adapter. For more information, see
“Accessing the text-based interface through a Telnet connection” on page 65 or
“Accessing the text-based interface through a direct serial connection” on
page 66.
2. For an xSeries 330 server: Log in to the ASM processor. For more
information, see “Accessing remote adapters through an ASM interconnect
network” on page 67.
3. In the Advanced System Management window, select Settings . The Settings
window opens.
