System x iDataPlex dx360 M3: User's Guide
Some server configurations use the LSI Logic Configuration Utility program to
configure an optional LSI RAID controller and the devices that are attached to it.
For information about using this program, see "Using the LSI Logic Configuration
Utility program" on page 64.
Some server configurations use the ServeRAID configuration program to
configure an optional ServeRAID controller and the devices that are attached to
it. For information about using this program, see "Configuring a ServeRAID
controller" on page 66.
IBM Electronic Service Agent is a software tool that monitors the server for
hardware error events and automatically submits electronic service requests to
IBM service and support. Also, it can collect and transmit system configuration
information on a scheduled basis so that the information is available to you and
your support representative. It uses minimal system resources, is available free
of charge, and can be downloaded from the Web. For more information and to
download Electronic Service Agent, go to http://www.ibm.com/support/electronic/.
The IBM Dynamic System Analysis (DSA) Preboot diagnostic programs are the
primary method of testing the major components of an IBM System x iDataPlex
server. You can use the USB flash drive that comes with the iDataPlex rack when
you run the DSA Preboot diagnostic programs on an iDataPlex server.
To download the most current USB or ISO image of the DSA Preboot diagnostic
programs go to http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=psg1SERV-DSA.
For additional information about the DSA diagnostic programs, see the Problem
Determination and Service Guide for the iDataPlex server on the IBM
Documentation CD that comes with the iDataPlex rack solution.
Use SCM to manage the storage configuration of your virtual environment from a
single console. SCM is part of the Virtualization Manager plug-in to IBM Systems
Director. For more information and to download the Storage Configuration
Manager, go to http://www.ibm.com/systems/support/.
IBM Systems Director is a platform-management foundation that streamlines the
way you manage physical and virtual systems in a heterogeneous environment.
For information about updating IBM Systems Director, see "Updating IBM
Systems Director" on page 67.
