Accessing the ASMI using a Web browser
The Web interface to the Advanced System Management Interface is accessible through
Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0, Netscape 7.1, or Opera 7.23 running on a PC or mobile
computer connected to the service processor. The Web interface is available during all
phases of system operation including the initial program load (IPL) and run time. However,
some of the menu options in the Web interface are unavailable during IPL or run time to
prevent usage or ownership conflicts if the system resources are in use during that phase.
Accessing the ASMI using an ASCII console
The Advanced System Management Interface on an ASCII console supports a subset of the
functions provided by the Web interface and is available only when the system is in the
platform standby state. The ASMI on an ASCII console is not available during some phases of
system operation, such as the initial program load and run time.
Accessing the ASMI using a HMC
To access the Advanced System Management Interface using the Hardware Management
Console, complete the following steps:
1. Ensure that the HMC is set up and configured.
2. In the navigation area, expand the managed system you want to work with.
3. Expand Service Applications and click Service Focal Point.
4. In the content area, click Service Utilities.
5. From the Service Utilities window, select the managed system you want to work with.

System management services
Use the system management services (SMS) 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.
To start the system management services, do the following:
1. For a server that is connected to an HMC, use the HMC to restart the server or partition.
If the server is not connected to an HMC, stop the system, and then restart the server by
pressing the power button on the control panel.
2. For a partitioned server, watch the virtual terminal window on the HMC.
For a full server partition, watch the firmware console.
3. Look for the POST
