Chapter 2. Configuration

After replacing the system board, update the default Vital Product Data (VPD) information and configure the

UEFI settings and HBA boot support for the Lenovo Storage DX8200N (5128) storage system.

You can use the following configuration tools:

• Lenovo Advanced Setting Utility (ASU)

• IPMItool

Lenovo Advanced Setting Utility

ASU helps you to configure the UEFI settings with the command line.

IPMItool

IPMItool provides a simple command-line interface to Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI)

enabled devices.

You can use ASU and IPMItool to update the VPD information.

To change the machine type, use the following commands:

asu64 set SYSTEM_PROD_DATA.SysInfoProdName 5128A1C –host <IMM_HOST_IP> –user <USERID> –password

asu64 set SYSTEM_PROD_DATA.SysInfoProdIdentifier "Lenovo Storage DX8200N" –host <IMM_HOST_IP> –user

<USERID> –password <PASSW0RD>

ipmitool -I lanplus -H <IMM_HOST_IP> -U <USERID> -P <PASSW0RD> raw 0x3a 0x0c 0x0e 0x01 0x10 0x4c 0x65
