– <IMM_IP> is the IMM IP address
– <IMM_userid> is the IMM user name
– <IMM_password> is the IMM password
i. Open the <serial>
_component.txt
file (where <serial> is the serial number of the
standard I/O book). This file was saved from the IBM System x3850 X6 4-socket
system during the Backup vital product data (VPD) procedure.
j. Locate the IBM server component part numbers in the <serial>
_component.txt
file.
There are multiple component part numbers in the following format:
VPD.CompVPD_PartNumber.
# <p/n>
where:
– # is the component numeric identifier:
1 for the 4–socket midplane
3 for the front I/O panel assembly
4 for LCD display panel
– <p/n> is a 7–character component part number
Notes:
– The Lenovo server component part numbers remain unchanged: they are the same
part numbers that were used in the IBM server.
– The component part number is the first six characters following the “11S” of the
11S barcode. In the following example, the part number is shown in bold:
11S 12X4567 YJ1105A34567
k. Add a command line to the batch file for each Lenovo server component part number,
following the form:
asu64 set VPD.CompVPD_PartNumber.
#
“
<p/n>
[sp][sp][sp][sp][sp]” --host
<IMM_IP>
--user
<IMM_userid>
--password
<IMM_password>
where:
– # is the component numeric identifier:
1 for the 4–socket midplane
3 for the front I/O panel assembly
4 for LCD display panel
– <p/n> is the first 7–characters of a 12–character field, followed by five padding
spaces, for the component part number (the Lenovo server and the IBM server use
the same component part numbers)
– <IMM_IP> is the IMM IP address
– <IMM_userid> is the IMM user name
– <IMM_password> is the IMM password
l. Locate the IBM server component FRU part numbers in the <serial>
