Server Configuration Wizard

The server configuration wizard is a utility that is provided to help you configure your server. The server
configuration wizard is located on the HP Server cc3310 User Information Diagnostics and Utilities Resource
CD shipped with the server and runs automatically when you boot your server to this CD. The server
configuration wizard includes a help system that can be accessed by clicking the Help button.
Run the server configuration wizard to:
•
Create or update a service partition and install service partition files, including files that are necessary
to run the system setup utility
•
Load FRUs and SDRs
•
Set the system asset tag
•
Set server management settings, including an IP address, Emergency Management Port (EMP) settings,
Platform Event Paging (PEP) settings, and LAN/Alert settings
•
Execute utility applications that can be used to manually configure the server
When first executed, the server configuration wizard probes the server for installed devices, firmware,
chassis information, hard disks, and other relevant data. This information is used to determine what
questions the application needs to ask you to complete the configuration.
When you select the option server configuration wizard > run wizard, you will be shown a selection window
allowing you to choose the items you want to configure. You can select one or more options to configure at
the same time. Some options have dependencies that make you select multiple options. These are:
•
If you select Configure this server for LAN Alerting, the option for Configure this server for
remote Server Management over a LAN connection will automatically be selected.
•
If you select Configure this server for Serial/Modem alerting, the option for Configure this
server for remote Server Management over a Serial/Modem connection will automatically be
selected.
In addition, you can select only one of the following at a time:
•
