IBM 6C4, 6.00E+04 manual Standby Phase

Standby Phase

The standby phase can be reached in either of the following ways:

vWith the system off and power connected (the normal path), recognized by OK in the LCD display.

OR

vWith the system on after an operating system fault, recognized by an 8-digit code in the LCD display.

In the standby phase, the service processor takes care of some automatic duties and is available for menus operation. The service processor remains in the standby phase until a power-on request is detected.

The standby phase components are as follows:

vModem Configuration

The service processor configures the modem (if installed) so that incoming calls can be received, or outgoing calls can be placed.

vDial 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 HMC virtual terminal window if the system is so equipped and if the user enables this function.

vMenus

The service processor menus are password-protected. Before you can access them, you need either the general user-password or privileged-user password.

Service processor menus are available on ASCII terminals attached to the serial ports on the system, and on terminal emulators. On HMC-managed systems, service processor menus are also available on the HMC graphical user interface.
