IBM RS/6000 7025 manual Testing the Setup, Call-In, Call-Out

Testing the Setup

The following is a sample procedure to assure your setup is working.

These tests include communicating with the server operating system. Be sure the necessary serial port(s) is configured. If you need assistance, refer to “Serial Port Configuration” on page C-3.

The server should be powered off as a result of the “Service Processor Setup Checklist” on page C-1.

Call-In:

1.Go to your remote terminal and call-in to your server. Your server should answer and offer you the Service Processor Main Menu after requesting your privileged access password.

2.Enter itemSystem2, Power Control Menu.

3.Enter itemPower4,-On System.

Answer "y" when asked if you wish to continue powering on the system.

4. After		the	system	firmware	and operating system have		initialized		the	server, the
login	prompt should appear at your remote terminal if you set							up	seamless
modem	transfer (refer to page D-6 for more information). This may								take several
minutes. When this occurs, you have successfully called into the Service
Processor.
5. Typelogout			to disconnect from		the	operating system. The	message	"No
Carrier"		displays		on your remote		terminal.
6. Call	your server again. The operating system should answer and							offer		you the
login	prompt.

If these tests are successful, call-in is working.

7. Login in and command your server to shutdown and power off. (The AIX command shutdown -Fwill do this.)

8. The message "No Carrier" displays on your remote terminal.

Call-Out:

During the setup, you entered your phone number for the Pager (on page 4-19) and Customer Voice (on page 4-20) phone numbers. These numbers are used for this test.

1. Your remote terminal should be disconnected as a result of the Call-In test.
