Client Configuration and Booting Standalone Diagnostics from the NIM Server
To run standalone diagnostics on a client from the NIM server, do the following:
1. Remove any removable media (tape or CD-ROM disc).
2. Stop all programs including the AIX operating system (get help if needed).
3. If you are running standalone diagnostics in a full system partition, verify with the
system administrator and system users that the system unit can shut down. Stop all
programs, including the AIX operating system. Refer to the AIX operating system
documentation for shutdown command information.
4. When the keyboard indicator is displayed (the word keyboard on an HMC virtual
terminal window), press the number 1 key on the keyboard to display the SMS
menu.
5. Enter any requested passwords.
6. Select Setup Remote IPL (Initial Program Load).
7. Enter the client address, server address, gateway address (if applicable), and
subnet mask. Exit to the
″
Network Parameters
″
screen.
8. If the NIM server is set up to allow pinging from the client system, use the ping
utility in the RIPL utility to verify that the client system can ping the NIM server.
Under the ping utility, choose the network adapter that provides the attachment to
the NIM server to do the ping operation. If the ping returns with an
OK
prompt, the
client is prepared to boot from the NIM server. If ping returns with a
FAILED
prompt,
the client cannot proceed with the NIM boot.
Note: If the ping fails, refer to “Boot Problems/Concerns” on page 150 of the
pSeries 630 Models 6C4 and 6E4 Service Guide and follow the steps for
network boot problems.
