Page 201: Chapter 7. Using The Service Processor
Chapter 7. Using the Service Processor The service processor menus enable you to configure service processor options and to enable and disable functions. Service processor menus are available using an ASCII terminal when the server is turned off and the service processor is operating with standby power. Service processor menus are also available when server power is on and the service processor has detected a server problem (such as surveillance failure).
Page 202: Service Processor Menus
Service Processor Menus The service processor menus are divided into the following groups: v General user menus - the user must know the general-access password. v Privileged user menus - the user must know the privileged-access password. This section describes these menus, how to access them, and the functions associated with each option within the menus.
Page 203: General User Menu
The AIX service aid, Save or Restore Hardware Management Policies, can be used to save your settings after initial setup or whenever the settings must be changed for system operation purposes. It is strongly recommended that you use this AIX service aid for backing up service processor settings to protect the usefulness of the service processor and the availability of the server.

Page 224: System Power-On Methods
System Power-On Methods This section discusses the following system power-on methods: v Power-on switch v Remote power-on by ring-indicate signal The server automatically powers on when it detects a ″ring indicate″ signal from a modem attached to one of the integrated serial ports. A remote user can call the server to activate ring detection by the modem.
Page 225: Service Processor Call-In Security
Service Processor Call-In Security If the service processor detects bad battery-powered storage (indicating that the battery on the system board has failed or has been removed), it maintains server security by disabling the call-in capability to both serial ports. When call-in is disabled, the system can still be powered on by using the ring-indicator signal, but the service processor then causes the system to power down, preventing access to any system facilities or to AIX.
Page 226: Service Processor Reboot/Restart Policy Controls
Service Processor Reboot/Restart Policy Controls The operating system’s automatic restart policy (see operating system documentation) defines the operating system’s response to a system crash. The service processor can be instructed to refer to that policy by the Use OS-Defined Restart Policy setup menu. Processor Boot-Time Deconfiguration (CPU Repeat Gard) Processor boot time deconfiguration allows for the removal of processors from the system configuration at boot time.

Page 229: Console Mirroring
Console Mirroring Console mirroring allows a user on a local ASCII terminal to monitor the service processor activities of a remote user. Console mirroring ends when the service processor releases control of the serial ports to the system firmware. System Configuration for Console Mirroring The following describes the system configuration for console mirroring: v Modem connected to one serial port and enabled for incoming calls v Local ASCII terminal connected to the other serial port.

The service processor firmware update image must be written onto a DOS-formatted diskette.
Page 231: Service Processor Operational Phases
Service Processor Operational Phases This section provides a high-level flow of the phases of the service processor. Pre-Standby Phase This phase is entered when the server is connected to a power source. The server may or may not be fully powered on. This phase is exited when the power-on self-tests (POST) and configuration tasks are completed.
Page 232: Bring-Up Phase
The service processor configures the modem (if installed) so that incoming calls can be received or outgoing calls can be placed. v Dial In Monitor incoming phone line to answer calls, prompt for a password, verify the password, and remotely display the standby menu. The remote session can be mirrored on the local ASCII console if the server is so equipped and the user enables this function.
Page 233: Service Processor Procedures In Service Mode
If the device driver is installed and surveillance enabled, the service processor monitors the system heartbeat. If the heartbeat times out, the service processor places an outgoing call. This is different from the bring-up phase scenario where two reboot attempts are made before placing an outgoing call. Service Processor Procedures in Service Mode When the system is in service mode, the following service processor parameters are suspended:...

Page 343: Appendix D. Modem Configurations
Appendix D. Modem Configurations The service processor is designed to place little demand on an attached modem, thereby increasing the setup and connection success rates. Sample Modem Configuration Files This appendix contains information about several sample modem configuration files that either work directly with your modem or provide a good starting point for a custom setup.
Page 344: Configuration File Selection
If Yes, use modem configuration file modem_m0.cfg and go to step 7 on page 327. Note: The IBM 7852-400 modem has DIP switches on the right side of the unit. See “IBM 7852-400 DIP Switch Settings” on page 329 for the correct switch settings.
Page 345: Examples For Using The Generic Sample Modem Configuration Files
See your modem manual for more information. Some modems, such as the IBM 7857-017, are not designed for the paging function. Although they can be used for paging, they return an error message when they do not get the expected response from another modem.
Page 346: Customizing The Modem Configuration Files
Customizing the Modem Configuration Files You can create your own modem configuration files or modify the samples provided. After you customize your modem configuration files, you must access them through the Configure Remote Maintenance Policy Service Aid rather than from the service processor menus.
Page 347: Ibm 7852-400 Dip Switch Settings
IBM 7852-400 DIP Switch Settings If you are using a 7852-400 modem to enable service processor communications, for proper operation, the dual inline package (DIP) switches must be set according to the following table: Switch Position Function Force DTR Flow Control &E4...
Page 348: Ring Detection
Ring Detection Most modems produce an interrupt request each time they detect a ring signal. Some modems generate an interrupt only on the first ring signal that they receive. AT&T DataPort 2001 is an example of such a modem. The service processor uses the ring interrupt request to count the number of rings when Ring Indicate Power-On (RIPO) is enabled.
Page 349: Transfer Of A Modem Session
Transfer of a Modem Session Because many modem command variations exist, the sample modem configuration files located at the end of this appendix have been written to capture the largest number of workable modem settings. The modem command &Dn (where n is a number) generally sets the modem response to the Data Terminal Ready (DTR) signal from the server’s serial port.
Page 350: Recovery Strategy
Recovery Strategy The recovery strategy consists of making two calls to establish a remote session. This solution is the easiest to implement and allows more freedom for configuring your server’s serial ports. To set up a remote terminal session, dial into the service processor and start the system.
