Obtaining The Imm Host Name - IBM System x3750 M4 Installation And Service Manual

The blue-screen capture feature captures the video display contents before the IMM
restarts the server when the IMM detects an operating-system hang condition. A
system administrator can use the blue-screen capture to assist in determining the
cause of the hang condition.

Obtaining the IMM host name

This information describes how to obtain the IMM host name.
About this task
If you are logging on to the IMM for the first time after installation, the IMM
defaults to DHCP. If a DHCP server is not available, the IMM uses a static IP
address of 192.168.70.125. The default IPv4 host name is "IMM-" (plus the last 12
characters on the IMM MAC address). The default host name also comes on the
IMM network access tag that comes attached to the power supply on the rear of
the server. The IMM network access tag provides the default host name of the
IMM and does not require you to start the server.
The IPv6 link-local address (LLA) is derived from the IMM default host name. The
IMM LLA is on the IMM network access tag on the power supply on the rear of
the server. To derive the link-local address, complete the following steps:
1. Take the last 12 characters on the IMM MAC address (for example,
2. Separate the number into pairs of hexadecimal characters (for example,
3. Separate the first six and last six hexadecimal characters.
4. Add "FF" and "FE" in the middle of the 12 characters (for example, 5C F3 FC FF
5. Convert the first pair of hexadecimal characters to binary (for example, 5=0101,
6. Flip the 7th binary character from left (0 to 1 or 1 to 0), which results in
7. Convert the binary back to hexadecimal (for example, 5E F3FCFFFE5EAAD0).
