OFF-LINE MAINTENANCE UTILITY
The Off-line Maintenance Utility is an OS-independent maintenance program. When you are unable to start the
OS-dependent ESMPRO to troubleshoot a problem, the Off-line Maintenance Utility can be used.
IMPORTANT:
The Off-line Maintenance Utility is intended for use of your sales agent. The EXPRESSBUILDER CD-ROM
and the Off-line Maintenance Utility Bootable FD you have created contain a file that describes operation of
the utility, but do not attempt to use the utility by yourself. Contact your sales agent and follow instructions.
Starting the Off-line Maintenance Utility disables any access from a client to the server.
Starting the Off-line Maintenance Utility
The Off-line Maintenance Utility may be started in the following ways.
NovaScale/ft Server series does not support the feature to start the Off-line Maintenance Utility from the maintenance
partition.
From the CD-ROM
Insert the EXPRESSBUILDER CD-ROM in the CD-ROM drive and reboot the system. After the menu is
displayed on the screen, select [Tools] - [Off-line Maintenance Utility]. The Off-line Maintenance Utility
program starts from the CD-ROM.
From the floppy disk
Insert the Off-line Maintenance Utility Bootable FD in the floppy disk drive and reboot the system. The
Off-line Maintenance Utility program starts from the boot disk. The Off-line Maintenance Utility Bootable
FD is created by selecting [Tools] - [Create Support FD] on the EXPRESSBUILDER.
Features of Off-line Maintenance Utility
The Off-line Maintenance Utility provides the following features.
IPMI Information Viewer
Provides the functions to view the System Event Log (SEL), Sensor Data Record (SDR), and Field Replaceable
Unit (FRU) and to make a backup copy of them.
Using this feature, you can find system errors and events to determine a maintenance part.
BIOS Setup Viewer
Provides the functions to export the current configuration data defined with the SETUP utility to a text file.
System Information Viewer
Provides the functions to view information on the processor (CPU) and the BIOS and export it to a text file.
System Information Management
Provides the function to make a back-up copy of your data. Without the backup data, the system-specific
information and/or configuration may not be restored.
TIPS:
For information on making backup copy of system information, see the separate volume “User’s
Guide (Setup)”. Only the authorized personnel are allowed to restore the backup data.
Chassis Identification
Provides the function to distinguish the server using the LEDs or beeps of the server. This function is convenient
to distinguish the server from others when multiple servers are on the rack.
