2. Set up the following using the service processor Menus or Diagnostic Service Aids:
v Enable call-out for the serial port where the modem is connected.
v Enter the modem configuration file name.
v Set up site specific parameters (phone numbers for call-out, call-out policy,
number of call-out retries, and so on).
3. To Call-Out before restart, set Call-out before restart to ENABLED from the
Reboot/Restart Policy Setup menu.
Note: Some modems, such as IBM 7857-017, are not designed for the paging function.
Although they can be used for paging, they will return an error message when
they do not get the expected response from another modem. Therefore, even
though the paging was successful, the error message will cause the service
processor to retry, continuing to place pager calls for the number of retries
specified in the Call-Out Policy Setup Menu. These retries result in redundant
pages.
Console Mirroring
Console mirroring allows a user on a local ASCII terminal to monitor the service
processor activities of a remote user. Console mirroring ends when the service
processor releases control of the serial ports to the system firmware.
System Configuration
The following describes the configuration for console mirroring:
v Service Processor
v Modem connected to one serial port and enabled for incoming calls
v Local ASCII terminal connected to the other serial port. This local terminal can be
connected directly to your server or connected through another modem.
There are two scenarios in which console mirroring can be invoked:
v Remote session first, then local session added:
1. Remote session already in progress.
2. Remote user uses service processor menus to enable console mirroring, allowing
both consoles to be active.
v Local session first, then remote session added:
1. Local session is already in progress.
2. The service processor receives a call from the remote user.
3. The local user selects the option to enable console mirroring. The service
processor immediately begins mirroring service processor menus.
Service Processor Error Logs
The service processor error logs, an example of which is shown below, contain error
conditions detected by the service processor.
