Testing the Setup
The following is a sample testing procedure to ensure your setup is working.
These tests include communicating with the server operating system. Before you
start, ensure that the necessary serial port(s) is configured. If you need assistance,
refer to “Serial Port Configuration” on page 176.
The server should be powered off as a result of the “Service Processor Setup
Checklist” on page 173.
Testing Call-In
1. Go to your remote terminal and call in to your server. Your server answers and
offers you the Service Processor Main Menu after requesting your privileged
access password.
2. Select System Power Control.
3. Select Power-On System.
When you are asked if you wish to continue powering on the system, type Y.
4. After the system firmware and operating system have initialized the server, the
login prompt displays at your remote terminal if you set up Seamless Modem
Transfer (refer to page 183 for more information). This may take several
minutes. When the login prompt displays, you have successfully called the
Service Processor.
5. Type logout to disconnect from the operating system. The message No Carrier
displays on your remote terminal.
6. Call your server again. The operating system answers and offers you the login
prompt. If these tests are successful, call-in is working.
7. Log in and type shutdown -F to shut down your server.
8. The message No Carrier displays on your remote terminal.
