Appendix B. System Management Service Operation
Connection
Attention: The text-based System Management Services (SMS) should only be used when directed by
this maintenance package or the next level of support. Normal maintenance uses the SMIT menu option
when logging in with the SERVICE login ID. Normally this process is only used if the cluster bay cannot
IML the AIX and functional code. (Operator panel Cluster Bay 1 or 2 Message indicator does not stop
blinking):
To start the System Management Services:
Note: The 2105 Model E10/E20 should be powered on.
Attention: The 2105 and cable in this procedure are ESD-sensitive. Always wear an ESD wrist strap
during this procedure. Follow the ESD procedures in "Working with ESD-Sensitive Parts" in chapter 3 of
the Enterprise Storage Server Service Guide, Volume 2.
1. Set the service terminal on the 2105 service table and start the appropriate terminal emulator (i.e.
EBTERM for OS/2 or NetTerm for Windows).
Use "Service Terminal Setup and 2105 Configuration Verification" on page 54 to prepare the service
terminal for service and to verify that the service terminal has been initialized to service the 2105.
2. Set the terminal emulator to the Direct Connect mode:
v OS/2 Operating System:
a. At the EBTERM window, select and click on the Modify menu option.
b. At the Modify menu, verify that Direct Connect Mode has a check mark next to it. Set all
other check marks on this menu off.
Note: Single click to set check marks on or off.
c. Go to step 3.
v Windows Operating System, at the NetTerm window, single click on File and then Phone
Directory
– If the Phone Directory displays IBM 2105 VSS/ESS (Direct Connect, IBM3151 emulation),
the service terminal is setup to run NetTerm as Direct Connect. Go to step 3.
– If the Phone Directory doesn't display IBM 2105 VSS/ESS (Direct Connect, IBM3151
emulation), then the service terminal needs to be setup again. Go to "Service Terminal Setup
and 2105 Configuration Verification" on page 54 to prepare the service terminal for service and
go to step 3. when complete.
3. Verify that the 2105 Model E10/E20 is powered on. The 2105 Model E10/E20 operator panel Power
Complete indicator for the cluster bay you are attaching to should be on continuously.
4. Connect the service terminal to the cluster bay being serviced:
a. Connect the service terminal interface cable to the serial port connector (9 pin) on the service
terminal.
b. Connect the other end of the cable to the S2 connector on the cluster bay being serviced, cluster
bay 1 or cluster bay 2.
Note: The service terminal interface cable is stored in the 2105 Model E10/E20 rack or
connected to S2 on the front of cluster bay 1 or 2.
