IBM P5 570 manual Boot options, System Management Services main menu

Page 59

The p5-570 (or the logical partition) must be equipped with either a graphic adapter that is connected to a graphics display, keyboard, and mouse device, or an ASCII display terminal that is connected to one of the native serial ports or the attached HMC to use the SMS menus. You can view information about the system (or the single logical partition) and perform tasks such as set a password, change the boot list, and set the network parameters.

If the system or the partition has been activated without flagging the option to stop to the SMS, you have the option to press the 1 key on the terminal or in the graphic window after the word keyboard appears and before the word speaker appears. In the terminal or in the GUI, the system or the partitions require you to enter the password that is defined for admin or general access. When the text-based SMS starts (either for terminal or graphic window), a screen similar to Figure 2-17opens.

Note: The version of system firmware that is installed in your system is displayed at the top of each screen. Processor and other device upgrades might require a specific version of firmware to be installed in your system.

On each menu screen, you are given the option of choosing a menu item and pressing Enter (if applicable) or selecting a navigation key. You can use the different options to review or set the boot list information, or to set up the network environment parameters if you want the system to boot from a NIM server.

2.11.8 Boot options

The p5-570 handles the boot process in a way that is similar to other pSeries servers.

The initial stage of the boot process establishes that the machine has powered up correctly and that the memory and CPUs are functioning correctly. When the machine or the logical
