Configuring the serial port

You can either dedicate the integrated serial port on the Remote Supervisor Adapter to system management or share it with the server operating system. If dedicated to system management, the serial port serves only the Remote Supervisor Adapter and is always available for dial-in and dial-out alerting purposes. You will not be able to monitor the serial port in the operating system or in any other applications. This design enables a single serial port to conduct normal functions and also maintain out-of-band alerting capabilities.

Notes for an xSeries 330 server:

1.The ASM processor on an xSeries 330 server uses the two serial ports on the rear of your server. One of these serial ports can be shared with the server operating system while the other is dedicated to the ASM processor.

2.You can configure the serial ports on either the Remote Supervisor Adapter or the ASM processor, depending on which device you are using.

Complete the following steps to configure your serial port. For information about your serial port, see “Configuring PPP access over the serial port” on page 90.

1.Log in to the Remote Supervisor Adapter. For more information, see “Accessing the text-based interface through a Telnet connection” on page 65 or “Accessing the text-based interface through a direct serial connection” on page 66.

2.For an xSeries 330 server: Log in to the ASM processor. For more information, see “Accessing remote adapters through an ASM interconnect network” on page 67.

3.In the Advanced System Management window, select Settings. The Settings window opens.
