Description

 

 

Configure added or replaced devices

After a slot is selected, the device populating that slot is

 

unconfigured. Then the power is removed from that slot. If

 

the unconfigure operation fails, it is possible that the

 

device is in use by another application. In this case, the

 

customer or system administrator must be notified to

 

quiesce the device. If the Unconfigure operation is

 

successful, the visual indicator for the selected slot is set

 

to the Remove state. After the device is removed or

 

replaced, the visual indicator, if available for the selected

 

slot, is set to the Normal state, and power is restored.

 

Note: Be sure that no other host is using the device before

 

you remove it.

 

 

3.3 Handheld based systems management

Abuilt-in, front-accessible serial interface for handheld devices, such as the IBM WorkPad® or Palm™, enables quick system setup, network configuration, and performance monitoring, using specialized IBM no-charge System Networking, Analysis, and Performance Pilot (SNAPP) software. This allows a technician with only minimal training to quickly set up and install the server within the customer’s network environment.

Another powerful IBM systems management feature, Wireless System Management (WSM), simplifies the management of these servers using wireless handheld devices such as the Palm VII or a cell phone. Designed to work with a browser on many different types of wireless devices, WSM allows customers to manage these systems from anywhere in the wireless, networked world and is also available from IBM as no-charge software.
