Appendix I. Logging into the DD4 server through the IMM web
interface
Complete the task in this topic to log into the 3958 DD4 server through the
Integrated Management Module (IMM) system management port.
Before you begin
This appendix provides an alternative method for establishing a connection to the
server during Reliability, Availability, and Serviceability (RAS) package
configuration, using the IMM port. This alternative method should be used
only if
the server connection cannot be made using a universal serial bus (USB) keyboard
and graphics-capable monitor.
In order to use the IMM to connect to the servers, you must use the TS3000 System
Console (TSSC) (code level 5.10.x or higher required), or your IBM service laptop.
If you use your laptop, you might also need an extension cord to reach a standard
power outlet, or a 240 V to 110 V step-down voltage converter to allow the service
laptop to run off of the power distribution unit (PDU).
Important: By default, the IMM ports on both servers in a cluster have the same
IP address. This causes a remote supervisor access IP address conflict when
connecting to the IMM card through the TSSC network for the very first time. To
avoid the conflict, you must change the IP address on one of the IMM ports so that
its IP address is unique or unplug the Ethernet cable to the remote supervisor
access to which you are not connecting. To do so, perform steps 2 through 11 on
page 91. Change the IMM port IP address on Server B in the cluster. Do not
change the default IMM port IP address on Server A. The default IP address of a
new IMM is 192.168.70.125.
Procedure
1. If you are using the TSSC, skip ahead to step 12 on page 91. Otherwise,
continue with step 2.
2.
Connect an Ethernet cable from the Ethernet port on your laptop to the SYS
MGMT (remote supervisor access port) on a stand-alone server, or on Server B
in a cluster. See Figure 11 on page 90.
