Chapter 4. Configuring the blade server
While the firmware is running POST and before the operating system starts, a POST menu
with POST indicators is displayed. The POST indicators are the words Memory, Keyboard,
Network, SCSI, and Speaker that are displayed as each component is tested. You can then
select configuration utilities from the POST menu.
System management services (SMS)
Use the system management services (SMS) utility to view information about your system or
partition and to perform tasks such as setting up remote IPL, changing SCSI settings, and
selecting boot options. The SMS utility can be used for AIX or Linux partitions. See Using
the SMS utility on page 43 for more information.
Default boot list
Use this utility to initiate a system boot in service mode through the default service mode
boot list. This mode attempts to boot from the first device of each type that is found in the
list.
Note:
This is the preferred method of starting the stand-alone AIX diagnostics from CD.
Stored boot list
Use this utility to initiate a system boot in service mode, using the customized service mode
boot list that was set up by AIX when AIX was first booted, or manually using the AIX
service aids.
Open firmware prompt
This utility is for advanced users of the IEEE 1275 specifications only.
Management module
Use the management module to change the boot list, determine which firmware image to
boot, and perform other configuration tasks.
