Using the ASM interconnect network
1. Start the server, and watch the monitor screen.
2. When the message Press F1 for Configuration/Setup is displayed, press F1.
The Configuration/Setup Utility main menu window opens.
3. Use the Up Arrow and Down Arrow keys (↑ and ↓) to select System Security;
then, press Enter. The System Security window opens.
4. Select Remote Control Security Settings; then, press Enter. The Remote
Control Security Settings window opens.
5. Enter the Remote Control Password that you will use each time you log in to
the remote-control features of the Remote Supervisor Adapter ASM Web
Interface.
6. Select Save New Remote Control Password; then, press Enter.
7. In the System Security window, press Esc.
8. Select Save Settings; then, press Enter.
9. Confirm your selection; then, exit the Configuration/Setup Utility program.
10. Continue with "Completing the configuration".
Completing the configuration: To complete the configuration of the Remote
Supervisor Adapter, see the Remote Supervisor Adapter User's Guide on the
Documentation CD. Completing the configuration includes the following tasks:
v Defining the login IDs and passwords
v Selecting the events that will receive alert notification
v Monitoring remote server status using the ASM Web interface or a text-based
user interface
v Controlling the server remotely
If you want to set up an ASM interconnect network and have not already done so,
continue with "Using the ASM interconnect network". If you do not want to set up an
ASM interconnect network, Remote Supervisor Adapter configuration is now
complete. To start managing the server remotely, see the Remote Supervisor
Adapter User's Guide on the Documentation CD.
This section explains how to configure and connect the server to function within an
ASM interconnect network.
The ASM interconnect network can include as many as 12 individual ASM
connections in a single bus. These connections can include Remote Supervisor
Adapters, ASM processors, and ASM PCI Adapters. When the clients and servers
are connected, they use the ASM interconnect network to share ASM resources,
information, and alerts among multiple servers, without having to add additional
communications hardware or network interface adapters.
An ASM interconnect network provides two levels of functionality. First, the ASM
interconnect network enables you to configure settings and to control the servers
where other Remote Supervisor Adapters, ASM processors, and ASM PCI Adapters
on the network reside. Second, the ASM interconnect network enables other
interconnect network devices to use the resources (Ethernet or modem) of other
Remote Supervisor Adapters, ASM processors, and ASM PCI Adapters in the ASM
interconnect network for sending alerts. This interconnect network is used when
Remote Supervisor Adapters, ASM processors, or ASM PCI Adapters cannot send
an alert and must forward the information to another one of these devices to send
the alert.
