Console Mirroring
Console mirroring allows a user on a local ASCII terminal to monitor the service
processor activities of a remote user. Console mirroring ends when the service
processor releases control of the serial ports to the system firmware.
System Configuration for Console Mirroring
The following describes the system configuration for console mirroring:
v
Modem connected to one serial port and enabled for incoming calls
v
Local ASCII terminal connected to the other serial port. This local terminal can be
connected directly to your server or connected through another modem.
Remote console mirroring can be invoked in two ways:
1. Remote session first, then local session added:
a. Remote session already in progress.
b. Remote user uses the service processor menus to enable console mirroring,
allowing both consoles to be active.
2. Local session first, then remote session added:
a. Local session is already in progress.
b. The service processor receives a call from the remote user.
c. The local user selects the option to enable console mirroring. The service
processor immediately begins mirroring service processor menus.
Note:
To disconnect quickly, press Ctrl+D on either console, and both sessions will exit
the service processor menus.
Service Processor Firmware Updates
Attention:
Only the service processor firmware can be updated from the service
processor menus; the system firmware cannot be updated from the service processor
menus. A service processor firmware update always requires a companion system
firmware update which must be applied first. For this reason, updating only the service
processor firmware using the service processor menus is not recommended. Go to the
RS/6000 support web site at http://www.rs6000.ibm.com/support/micro to download the
latest firmware levels and update instructions.
The service processor firmware update image must be written onto a DOS-formatted
diskette. The update image can be obtained from the RS/6000 support web site:
http://www.rs6000.ibm.com/support/micro.
After the update diskette has been made, from the service processor main menu, select
″
Service Processor Setup
″
. Then select
″
Reprogram Service Processor Flash EPROM
″
.
The program requests the update diskette(s) as they are needed. The service
processor will automatically reboot after the firmware update is complete.
