Select this choice to view information about the adapters and UEFI device
drivers in the compute node.
Note: Before you configure a UEFI-compatible device, update the firmware
for your compute node. See "Updating firmware and device drivers" on page
25 for information about how to update the firmware for your compute node.
To configure a UEFI-compatible expansion adapter, complete the following
steps:
1. Select Please press ENTER to compile the list of drivers and press Enter.
2. Select the device driver that you want to configure, and press Enter.
3. When you have finished changing settings, press Esc to exit from the
program; select Save to save the settings that you have changed.
– Devices and I/O Ports
Select this choice to view or change assignments for devices and
input/output (I/O) ports. You can configure the remote console redirection
and enable or disable the integrated Ethernet controller. If you disable a
device, it cannot be configured, and the operating system cannot detect it
(disabling a device is equivalent to disconnecting the device).
You can also choose to enable or disable adapter option ROM support.
Disabling support can potentially improve the time it takes the compute node
to start.
– Driver Health
Select this choice to view the health status of the controllers as reported by
the device drivers. You can select to perform a repair action on a device
driver.
– Integrated Management Module
Select this choice to view or change the settings for the integrated
management module II (IMM2).
- Power Restore Policy
Select this choice to determine the state to which the compute node will be
restored after a power outage.
- Commands on USB Interface
Select this choice to specify whether the Ethernet over USB interface is
enabled or disabled.
Note: This option is primarily for older operating systems that have
problems with USB communications device class (CDC) Ethernet interfaces.
Disabling this option will cause the following issues:
v Online update packages will not work.
v Updates that use Bootable Media Creator (BoMC) will not work because
BoMC uses the LAN over USB interface.
v You must install the IPMI device driver to use the Advanced Settings
Utility (ASU) to change the IMM2 or UEFI configuration.
v You cannot set the IMM2 OS loader watchdog.
- Network Configuration
Select this choice to view the system-management network interface port,
IMM2 MAC address, current IMM2 IP address, and host name; define the
static IMM2 IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address; specify
whether to use the static IP address or have DHCP assign the IMM2 IP
address; save the network changes; and reset the IMM2.
