Testing the Setup
The following is a sample procedure to assure your setup is working.
These tests include communicating with the server operating system. Be sure the
necessary serial port(s) is configured. If you need assistance, refer to “Serial Port
Configuration” on page C-4.
The server should be powered off as a result of the “Service Processor Setup
Checklist” on page C-1.
Call-In:
1. Go to your remote terminal and call-in to your server. Your server answers and
offers you the Service Processor Main Menu after requesting your privileged
access password.
2. Select item 2, System Power Control.
3. Select item 4, Power-On System.
Answer y when asked if you wish to continue powering on the system.
4. After the system firmware and operating system have initialized the server, the
login prompt appears at your remote terminal if you set up Seamless Modem
Transfer (refer to page D-6 for more information). This may take several
minutes. When this occurs, you have successfully called the Service Processor.
5. Type logout to disconnect from the operating system. The message No Carrier
displays on your remote terminal.
6. Call your server again. The operating system answers and offers you the login
prompt. If these tests are successful, call-in is working.
7. Login and command your server to shutdown and power off. (The AIX command
shutdown -F will do this.)
8. The message No Carrier displays on your remote terminal.
