Using The Embedded Hypervisor; Configuring The Ethernet Controller - Lenovo System x3250 M5 Installation And Service Manual

netsh firewall set icmpsetting type=8 mode=ENABLE
By default, the icmp packet is blocked by Windows firewall. The IMM2 GUI will then change to "OS booted"
status after you change the setting as indicated above in both the Web and CLI interfaces.

Using the embedded hypervisor

The VMware ESXi embedded hypervisor software is available on the optional Lenovo USB flash device with
embedded hypervisor.
The USB flash device can be installed in USB connectors on the system board (see "System-board internal
connectors" on page 26 for the location of the connectors). Hypervisor is virtualization software that enables
multiple operating systems to run on a host system at the same time. The USB flash device is required to
activate the hypervisor functions.
To start using the embedded hypervisor functions, you must add the USB flash device to the startup
sequence in the Setup utility.
To add the USB flash device to the startup sequence, complete the following steps:
Step 1. Turn on the server.
Note: Approximately 5 to 10 seconds after the server is connected to power, the power-control
button becomes active.
When the prompt <F1> Setup is displayed, press F1.
Step 2.
Step 3. From the Setup utility main menu, select Boot Manager.
Step 4. Select Add Boot Option; then, select Generic Boot Option ➙ Embedded Hypervisor. Press
Enter, and then select Esc.
Step 5. Select Change Boot Order ➙ Change the order. Use the Up arrow and Down Arrow keys
to select Embedded Hypervisor and use the plus (+) and minus (-) keys to move Embedded
Hypervisor in the boot order. When Embedded Hypervisor is in the correct location in the boot
order, press Enter. Select Commit Changes and press Enter.
Step 6. Select Save Settings and then select Exit Setup.

Configuring the Ethernet controller

Use this information to configure the Ethernet controller.
The Ethernet controllers are integrated on the system board. They provide an interface for connecting
to a 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 1 Gbps network and provide full-duplex (FDX) capability, which enables
simultaneous transmission and reception of data on the network. If the Ethernet ports in the server support
auto-negotiation, the controllers detect the data-transfer rate (10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, or 1000BASE-T) and
duplex mode (full-duplex or half-duplex) of the network and automatically operate at that rate and mode.
You do not have to set any jumpers or configure the controllers. However, you must install a device driver to
enable the operating system to address the controllers.
