Viewing the configuration
You can use ServeRAID Manager to view information about RAID controllers and
the RAID subsystem (such as arrays, logical drives, hot-spare drives, and physical
drives). When you click an object in the ServeRAID Manager tree, information about
that object appears in the right pane. To display a list of available actions for an
object, click the object and click Actions.
Using the mini baseboard management controller
The mini baseboard management controller (mini-BMC) provides environmental
monitoring for the server. If environmental conditions exceed thresholds or if system
components fail, the mini-BMC lights LEDs to help you diagnose the problem and
also records the error in the mini-BMC system-event log. For more information, see
the description of Baseboard management controller (BMC) settings on page
53.
Important: If the system-error LED on the front of the server is lit but there are no
other error indications, clear the mini-BMC system-event log. This log does not
clear itself, and if it begins to fill up, the system-error LED will be lit. Also, after you
complete a repair or correct an error, clear the mini-BMC system-event log to turn
off the system-error LED on the front of the server.
Note: If an optional IBM Remote Supervisor Adapter II is installed, the mini-BMC is
disabled, and the Remote Supervisor Adapter II handles the server monitoring
activities. For additional information about the Remote Supervisor Adapter II, see
the documentation that comes with this adapter.
