Remote Supervisor Adapter: User's Guide
Description
The Remote Supervisor Adapter or ASM processor
provides full remote power control over your server with
power-on, power-off, and restart actions. In addition,
power-on and restart statistics are captured and displayed
to show server hardware availability.
Use the options in the Remote Boot page to remotely start
(boot) your server from a newly created diskette image or
from a previously created and saved diskette image.
From the Remote Control page, you can redirect the
server graphical console, redirect the server text console,
restart the server and view the POST process, and view
the image of the last Windows
Use the options on the Firmware Update page to update
firmware of the Remote Supervisor Adapter or ASM
processor and server components such as server BIOS
code and server diagnostics.
From the Access Remote ASM page, you can view a list of
1
on the system-management processors and adapters
the ASM interconnect network and establish a connection
to any of those systems.
You can configure general information, such as the name
of the Remote Supervisor Adapter or ASM processor,
server timeout settings, and contact information for the
Remote Supervisor Adapter, and the server location from
the System Settings page.
You can set the Remote Supervisor Adapter and ASM
processor clocks that are used for time stamping the
entries in the event log.
You can define 12 login profiles that enable access to the
Remote Supervisor Adapter or ASM processor.
You can set the local events monitored by the Remote
Supervisor Adapter or ASM processor, for which
notifications are sent to IBM Director.
You can configure the Remote Supervisor Adapter or ASM
processor to generate and forward alerts for a number of
different events. You can configure the alerts that are
monitored and the recipients that are notified on the Alerts
page.
You can set the number of alert retries and the delay
between the retries.
From the Serial Port page, you can configure the serial
port and modem settings used by the Remote Supervisor
Adapter or ASM processor.
Note: The ASM processor uses the serial port on the
server. If a Remote Supervisor Adapter is installed in an
xSeries 330 server, you can configure one of the serial
ports to be shared with the operating system running on
the server and the other serial port always to be dedicated
to the ASM processor.
