Using RBSU
NOTE:
Most of the features in RBSU are not required in the setup of your server. The
options in this utility are designed to assist with specific server configuration issues.
RBSU is separated into a series of menu selections designed to configure
specific areas of the system. The primary menus are as follows:
■
System Options
■
IPL Boot Device
■
PCI Devices
■
Boot Controller Order
■
Date and Time
■
Automatic Server Recovery-2 (ASR-2)
■
Server Passwords
■
Server Asset Text
■
Advanced Options
■
Utility Language
System Options
The System Options menu configures the basic input/output (I/O) of the server
and sets the operating system. The configuration options include the operating
system, external ports, and controlling the diskette drive. The following is a
list of selections found in this menu with an explanation of each option:
■
OS Selection
selects the primary operating system for the server.
Default sever settings are automatically set based on the operating
system selected.
■
Embedded COM Port
X
sets the configuration for the internal serial
port A or B. The configuration options include the address and interrupt
request (IRQ). This option can also disable the port.
■
Embedded NIC Port 1 PXE Support
enables the Pre-boot Execution
Environment (PXE) support for NIC Port 1. The
Embedded NIC Port
PXE Support
option allows the server to boot to the network and attach
to a PXE server with boot images. When enabled, the NIC port is
displayed in the
Initial Program Loader
(IPL) list.
