Chapter 8. Using System Management Services
Use the system management services menus to view information about your system or partition, and to
perform tasks such as setting a password, changing the boot list, and setting the network parameters.
Notes:
1. On some of the system management services (or service processor) screens, you will see the term
LPAR. LPAR is equivalent to the term logically partitioned system or just partitioned system.
2. In a partitioned system, only those devices that are assigned to the partition that is being booted
display in the SMS menus. In a full system partition, all devices in the system display in the SMS
menus.
To start the system management services, do the following:
1. For a partitioned system, use the IBM Hardware Management Console for pSeries (HMC) to restart the
partition.
For a full system partition, restart the system.
2. For a partitioned system, watch the virtual terminal window on the HMC.
For a full system partition, watch the firmware console which could be a serially attached TTY terminal,
a display attached to the system, or a virtual terminal window on the HMC.
3. Look for the POST indicators memory, keyboard, network, scsi, speaker, which appear across the
bottom of the screen.
Press the numeric 1 key after the word keyboard appears, and before the word speaker appears.
For more information on the POST indicator words, refer to "POST Indicators" on page 26.
After the system management services starts, the following screen displays:
