Logging in to the ASM processor in an xSeries 330 server

The integrated ASM processor on the system board of an xSeries 330 server enables you to monitor the health of the managed server, view the server event log and vital product data, configure alerts and alert recipients, and perform power and restart operations on the server.

If you have a Remote Supervisor Adapter installed in an xSeries 330 server, you must log in to the Remote Supervisor Adapter and then log in to the ASM processor for full feature support.

Complete the following steps to log in to an ASM processor in an xSeries 330 server:

1.Log in to the Remote Supervisor Adapter. For more information, see “Logging in to the Remote Supervisor Adapter” on page 3.

2.In the Remote ASM Access page that is displayed, you can view a list of the ASM processors, ASM PCI adapters, and Remote Supervisor Adapters in the ASM interconnect network and the local system that contains the Remote Supervisor Adapter.

3.In the ASM Interconnect Connection column, locate the entry that matches the ASM processor on the xSeries 330 server that you want to monitor; then, click login.

Note: It is important that each ASM processor has a meaningful name so that you can easily identify the correct server to monitor. The name of the ASM processor is what you select from the table in the ASM Interconnect Connection column. If you are not sure of the name of the ASM processor for the server that you want to monitor, log in to each ASM processor individually and view the vital product data (VPD) to determine the serial number of the server in which that ASM processor is located.

4.The Enter Network Password window opens. Type your user name and password. If you are accessing the ASM processor for the first time, you can obtain your user name and password from your system administrator. All login attempts are documented in the event log.
