Chapter 3. Configuring the compute node
While the firmware is running Power on System Test (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.
About this task
The following configuration utilities are available from the POST menu:
v
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 self-configuring SCSI device (SCSD)
settings, and selecting boot options. The SMS utility can be used for AIX
®
or Linux partitions.
v
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.
v
Stored boot list
Use this utility to initiate a system boot in service mode by using the customized service-mode boot
list that was set up by the AIX operating system when the operating system was first booted, or
manually by using the AIX service aids.
v
Open firmware prompt
This utility is for advanced users of the IEEE 1275 specifications only.
v
Management module
Use the management module to change the boot list to determine which firmware image to boot, and
to perform other configuration tasks.
