12. Continue with “Installing Advanced System Management device drivers.”

Installing Advanced System Management device drivers: You must install the ASM device drivers for the server to enable communication between the Remote Supervisor Adapter and the server in which it is installed. You can obtain the most current device drivers from http://www.ibm.com/pc/support/ on the World Wide Web.

Note: If you are installing device drivers manually, note the following requirements:

vYou must install the operating system on the server before you install the ASM device drivers. For information about installing the operating system, see the documentation that comes with the operating system.

vBefore installing the ASM device drivers for the Remote Supervisor Adapter, stop any system-management application.

After you install the ASM device drivers, go to “Configuring the remote-control password” to set the remote-control password.

Configuring the remote-control password: If you want to use the remote-control features of the Remote Supervisor Adapter ASM Web interface, you must configure the remote-control password using the Configuration/Setup Utility program.

To set up a remote-control password, complete the following steps:

1.Start the server and watch the monitor screen.

2.From the EFI Boot Manager startup options, select the Configuration/Setup Utility program.

3.Use the Up Arrow and Down Arrow keys (↑ and ↓) to select System Security; then, press Enter. The System Security window opens.

4.Select Remote Control Security Settings, and press Enter. The Remote Control Security Settings window opens.

5.Type the remote-control password that you will use each time you log into the remote-control features of the Remote Supervisor Adapter ASM Web Interface.

6.Select Save New Remote Control Password, and press Enter.

7.In the System Security window, press Esc.

8.Select Save Settings, and press Enter.

9.Confirm your selection, and exit the Configuration/Setup Utility program.

10.Continue with “Completing the configuration.”

Completing the configuration: To complete the configuration of the Remote Supervisor Adapter, see the Remote Supervisor Adapter User’s Guide on the IBM xSeries Documentation CD. The tasks include the following:

vDefining the login IDs and passwords

vSelecting the events that will receive alert notification

vMonitoring remote server status using the ASM Web interface or a text-based user interface

vControlling the server remotely

If you want to set up an ASM interconnect network and have not already done so, continue with “Using the ASM interconnect network” on page 26. If you do not want to set up an ASM interconnect network, Remote Supervisor Adapter configuration is now complete. To start managing the server remotely, see the Remote Supervisor Adapter User’s Guide on the IBM xSeries Documentation CD.
