Chapter 8. Using System Management Services

Use the system management services menus to view information about your system or partition, and to
perform tasks such as setting a password, changing the boot list, and setting the network parameters.
Notes:
1. On some of the system management services (or service processor) screens, you will see the term
LPAR. LPAR is equivalent to the term logically partitioned system or partitioned system.
2. In a partitioned system, only those devices that are assigned to the partition that is being booted
display in the SMS menus. In a full system partition, all devices in the system display in the SMS
menus.
To start the system management services, do the following:
1. For a partitioned system, use the Hardware Management Console (HMC) to restart the partition.
For a full system partition, restart the system.
2. For a partitioned system, watch the virtual terminal window on the HMC.
For a full system partition, watch the firmware console.
3. Look for the POST indicators memory, keyboard, network, scsi, speaker, which appear across the
bottom of the screen. Press the numeric 1 key after the word keyboard appears, and before the word
speaker appears.
For more information on the POST indicator words, refer to "POST Indicators" on page 7.
After the system management services starts, the following screen displays:
Main Menu
1 Select Language
2 Change Password Options NOT available in LPAR mode
3 View Error Log
4 Setup Remote IPL (Initial Program Load)
5 Change SCSI Settings
