IBM Advanced Settings Utility program

This topic provides information about the IBM Advanced Settings Utility program.

The IBM Advanced Settings Utility (ASU) program is an alternative to the Setup

utility for modifying UEFI settings. Use the ASU program online or out of band to

modify UEFI settings from the command line without the need to restart the server

to access the Setup utility.

You can also use the ASU program to configure the optional remote presence

feature or other IMM settings. The remote presence feature provides enhanced

systems-management capabilities.

In addition, the ASU program provides limited settings for configuring the IPMI

function in the IMM through the command-line interface.

Use the command-line interface to issue setup commands. You can save any of the

settings as a file and run the file as a script. The ASU program supports scripting

environments through a batch-processing mode.

For more information and to download the ASU program, go to

http://www.ibm.com/support/entry/portal/docdisplay?lndocid=TOOL-ASU or

complete the following steps.
