Appendix D. Service Processor Setup and Test
For your convenience, a sample Service Processor setup procedure is provided below.
Your setup may include more or less of the available features, so you may wish to
adjust this checklist for your own application.
Service Processor Setup Checklist
1. Ensure the server is powered off.
2. Attach a local ASCII terminal for this setup procedure.
3. Attach a modem (if needed). See “Accessing Service Processor Menus Locally” on
page 448, and see “Modem Configuration Menu” on page 461 for the menus
needed to configure your modem.
4. Power on the server, the local terminal, and the modem.
5. Open the Service Processor Menus. See Chapter 7. Service Processor Menus.
Attention: To start the Service Processor Menus while the server is booting up,
watch the operator panel display for checkpoint E04F. At this checkpoint, a
ten-second window of time begins with three beeps. Checkpoint E07A displays
and is visible during the ten-second window. During this window, press any key on
the local terminal, and the Service Processor menus display on the local terminal.
6. Set the System Name. See “Privileged User Menus” on page 451.
7. Configure Call-In/Call-Out. See “Call-In/Call-Out Setup Menu” on page 460.
8. Exit the Service Processor menus.
9. Wait until the system offers a login prompt. Log in and perform an orderly system
shutdown, using the AIX shutdown -F command.
10. Power off the server.
11. Test Call-In, page “Call-In” on page 610
12. Test Call-Out, page “Call-Out” on page 610
13. Use the “Save or Restore Hardware Management Policies,” in the “Introduction to
Tasks and Service Aids” section of the Diagnostic Information for Multiple Bus
Systems to back up the service processor settings.
Note: This backup step is strongly recommended to protect the usefulness of the
service processor and the availability of your server.
