Integrated System Management Processor Ports - IBM 8669 - Eserver xSeries 342 Hardware Maintenance Manual

1. Add the redundant NIC adapter according to the instructions that are provided
2. Load the device driver by using the following command:
3. When the driver is loaded, bind it to a protocol stack.
The failover function is now enabled. If a failover occurs:
v The operating system console generates a message.
v The custom counters for the device driver contain variables that define the state

Integrated System Management Processor ports

The integrated system management (ISM) ports (ISM-A and ISM-B) use a dual
RJ-45 connector to interconnect ISM processors of several servers through an
optional Remote Supervisor Adapter.

where d and path are the drive and path where the driver is located, and x and
y are the PCI slot numbers where the redundant pair is located.
The slot number associated with the integrated Ethernet controller can vary
depending on the configuration of the server. To determine the slot number, load
the driver with no parameters. The driver will display the available slot numbers.
The slot number that is greater than 10000 will be the slot number of integrated
Ethernet controller. When the slot number of the integrated Ethernet controller is
determined, reload the driver with the appropriate parameters.

handled by the secondary Ethernet controller, the traffic does not
automatically switch back to the primary adapter when the primary adapter
comes back online. In this case, issue the command:
LOAD d:\path\PCNTNW SCAN
where d and path are the drive and path where the driver is located. This
command causes the device driver to locate the primary adapter and switch
the Ethernet traffic to it.
