Appendix C. Service Processor Setup and Test
Attention:
This procedure applies to modems attached to the serial ports (S1 and S2) on the system
drawer. It does not affect the operation of the modem attached to the IBM Hardware Management Console
for pSeries (HMC).
The call-out function is usually handled by the Service Focal Point application running on the HMC.
For your convenience, an example of a basic service processor setup checklist is included here. Your
setup may include more or fewer of the available features, so you can adjust this checklist for your own
application.
Note: Call-out and surveillance are disabled in partitioned systems.
Service Processor Setup Checklist
1. Shut down the managed system, wait for the "OK" in the physical operator panel.
2. Open a virtual terminal on the HMC.
3. Bring up the service processor menus.
4. Set the system name.
5. Enable Surveillance.
6. Configure call-in/call-out.
7. Exit the service processor menus.
8. Remove all power by removing the power cords from both power supplies in the rear of the processor
subsystem.
9. Attach modems (if needed).
10. Apply power by reconnecting the power cords to both power supplies in the rear of the processor
subsystem.
Attention:
Make sure that system power remains off.
11. Test both of the following:
v Call-In, page "Testing Call-In" on page 694
v Call-Out, page "Testing Call-Out" on page 695
12. Use the "Save or Restore Hardware Management Policies," in the "Introduction to Tasks and Service
Aids" section of the Eserver pSeries Diagnostic Information for Multiple Bus Systems to back up the
service processor settings.
Note: This is strongly recommended to protect the usefulness of the service processor and the
availability of the server.
Your service processor is now ready for use.
