– <IMM_IP> is the IMM IP address
– <IMM_userid> is the IMM user name
– <IMM_password> is the IMM password
Note: To view an example VPD batch file, see Chapter 2 “IBM to Lenovo server upgrade
batch file examples” on page 29.
3. Save and close the file.
– The Lenovo System x3950 X6 8-socket system requires separate batch files for each node.
– To create a VPD batch file for node 1 of a Lenovo System x3950 X6 8-socket system:
1. Open a new <serial>_Node1_system.bat file (where <serial> is the serial number of the
standard I/O book in node 1, allowing each batch file to be identified). This file will be
edited to create a VPD update batch file for node 1.
2. Complete the following steps to add commands to the <serial>_Node1_system.bat file:
a. Open the <serial>_Node1_system.txt file (where <serial> is the serial number of the
standard I/O book in node 1). This file was saved from node 1 of the IBM System
x3950 X6 8-socket system during the Backup vital product data (VPD) procedure.
b. Locate the IBM server machine type and model string in the <serial>_Node1_
system.txt file. This string has the following format:
SYSTEM_PROD_DATA.SysInfoProdName=<IBM_machine_type_model>
where: <IBM_machine_type_model> is a 7–character field that combines the 4–
character machine type and the 3–character model number.
c. Change the IBM server machine type to the Lenovo server machine type by
replacing the IBM server 4-character machine type, 3837, with the Lenovo server
4-character machine type, 6241. The 3-character model number remains
unchanged between the IBM and Lenovo servers.
For example, if the original IBM server machine type and model number was
3837FT4, the new Lenovo server machine type and model number would be
6241FT4.
d. Add a command line to the batch file for the Lenovo server machine type and
model created in the previous step (this model number varies based on the original
IBM server model number), following the form:
asu64 set SYSTEM_PROD_DATA.SysInfoProdName <Lenovo_machine_type_model>
--host <IMM_IP> --user <IMM_userid> --password <IMM_password>
where:
• <Lenovo_machine_type_model> is a 7–character field that combines the new
Lenovo 4–character machine type and the original IBM 3–character model
number
• <IMM_IP> is the IMM IP address
• <IMM_userid> is the IMM user name
• <IMM_password> is the IMM password
e. Add a command line to the batch file for the Lenovo server product identifier,
following the form:
asu64 set SYSTEM_PROD_DATA.SysInfoProdIdentifierEx “<product_id>” --override
--host <IMM_IP> --user <IMM_userid> --password <IMM_password>
where:
• <product_id> is Lenovo System x3950 X6 for 8-socket systems
