Viewing Serviceable Events By Using The Ibm Systems Director Management Console - IBM 9117-MMB User Manual

You can deactivate a system attention LED or a logical partition LED. For example, you might determine
that a problem is not a high priority and decide to repair the problem at a later time. However, you want
to be alerted if another problem occurs, so you must deactivate the system attention LED so that it can be
activated again if another problem occurs.
1. On the Resources tab, select the appropriate host or virtual server.
2. Select Actions → Service and Support → Hardware → System Attention LED.
3. Select Deactivate System Attention LED. A confirmation window is displayed that provides the
following information:
v A verification that the system attention LED was deactivated.
v An indication that there still might be open problems within the system.
v An indication that you cannot activate the system attention LED.
4. Select one of the virtual servers, and select Deactivate System Attention LED. A confirmation
window is displayed that provides the following information:
v A verification that the system attention LED was deactivated.
v An indication that there still might be open problems within the logical partition.
v An indication that you cannot activate the virtual server LED.
Activating or deactivating identify LED by using the SDMC:
The system provides several LEDs that help identify various components, such as enclosures or field
replaceable units (FRUs). For this reason, they are called identify LEDs.
You can activate or deactivate the following types of identify LEDs:
v Identify LED for an enclosure If you want to add an adapter to a specific drawer (enclosure), you
need to know the machine type, model, and serial number (MTMS) of the drawer. To determine
whether you have the correct MTMS for the drawer that needs the new adapter, you can activate the
LED for a drawer and verify that the MTMS corresponds to the drawer that requires the new adapter.
v Identify LED for a FRU associated with a specified enclosure If you want to hook up a cable to a
specific I/O adapter, you can activate the LED for the adapter which is a field replaceable unit (FRU),
and then physically check to see where you should hook up the cable. This is especially useful when
you have several adapters with open ports.
To activate or deactivate an identify LED for an enclosure or FRU, follow these steps:
1. On the Resources tab, select the appropriate host or virtual server.
2. Select Actions → Service and Support → Hardware → Identify LED.
3. In the Identify LED, Select Enclosure window, select the system unit or enclosure.
4. To activate or deactivate an identify LED, click either Activate LED or Deactivate LED. The
associated LED is either turned on or off.
5. To activate or deactivate an identify LED for a FRU, select a system or enclosure from the table, and
then select List FRUs....
6. Select one or more FRUs from the table, and click either Activate LED or Deactivate LED. The
associated LED is either turned on or off.
