Updating the DMI/SMBIOS data

The Desktop Management Interface (DMI) must be updated when the system
board is replaced. Use the Advanced Settings Utility to update the DMI in the
UEFI-based server. The ASU is an online tool that supports several operating
systems. Make sure that you download the version for your operating system. You
can download the ASU from the IBM Web site. To download the ASU and update
the DMI, complete the following steps.
Note: Changes are made periodically to the IBM Web site. The actual procedure
might vary slightly from what is described in this document.
1.
v Remote LAN access, type the command:
Note: When using the remote LAN access method to access IMM using the
LAN from a client, the host and the imm_external_ip address are required
parameters.
host <imm_external_ip> [user <imm_user_id>][password <imm_password>]
Where:
imm_external_ip
The external IMM LAN IP address. There is no default value. This
parameter is required.
imm_user_id
The IMM account (1 of 12 accounts). The default value is USERID.

Example that does not use the userid and password default values:
asu set SYSTEM_PROD_DATA.SYsInfoUUID <uuid_value> --host <imm_ip>
