Appendix I Configuring an IBM Server Running the AIX Operating Environment I-3
I.2 Accessing the Firmware Application
From an IBM Server Running AIX
The RAID controller can be configured from the host system by means of terminal
emulators such as Kermit.
Note – You can also monitor and configure a RAID array over an IP network with
the Sun StorEdge Configuration Service program after you assign an IP address to
the array. For details, see “Setting Up Out-of-Band Management Over Ethernet” on
page 4-20 and refer to the Sun StorEdge 3000 Family Configuration Service User’s Guide.
To access the controller firmware through the serial port, perform the following
steps:
1. Connect the serial null modem cable to the disk array and to the serial port on the
IBM server.
Note – A DB9-to-DB25 serial cable adapter is shipped with the disk array to connect
the serial cable to a DB25 serial port on your host if you do not have a DB9 serial
port.

2. Power on the array.
3. After the array is powered up, power on the IBM server and log in as root, or su to
root if you are currently logged in as a user.
