v IPMI (Intelligent Platform Management Interface) Shell Use this feature to remotely perform power-management and system identification control functions over a LAN or serial port interface from a command-line interface. Use this feature also to remotely view the event log. v Serial over LAN Proxy Use this feature to remotely perform control and management functions over a Serial over LAN network. Use this feature also to remotely view and change the BIOS settings. To download the utility program and create the baseboard management controller management utility CD, complete the following steps. Note: Changes are made periodically to the IBM Web site. The actual procedure might vary slightly from what is described in this document. 1. Go to http://www.ibm.com/systems/support/. 2. Under Product support, click System x. 3. Under Popular links, click Software and device drivers. 4. Click IBM System x3850 M2 or IBM System x3950 M2 to display the matrix of downloadable files for the server. 5. From the BMC software section, download the management utility (SMBRIDGE). 6. Review the readme file on the CD to install and use the program. Using the RAID configuration programs Use the LSI Logic Configuration Utility program and the LSI Logic MegaRAID Storage Manager program to configure and manage redundant array of independent disks (RAID) arrays. The following notes describe information that you must consider: v The integrated SAS controller with RAID capabilities supports RAID levels 0 and 1 with a hot-spare drive installed. Installing an optional ServeRAID controller provides additional RAID levels. v You cannot use the ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD to configure the integrated SAS controller with RAID capabilities. v When you create a RAID level 1 (mirrored) pair, all drives must be on the same channel. v Hard disk drive capacities affect how you create arrays. The drives in an array can have different capacities, but the RAID controller treats them as if they all have the capacity of the smallest hard disk drive. v You can set up a mirror after the operating system is installed on the primary drive only if you are using an integrated SAS controller with RAID capabilities. You must make sure that the primary drive has the lower SCSI ID (for example, 0). Note: The bezel identifies the SCSI IDs of the hard disk drive bays. Important: If you use an integrated SAS controller with RAID capabilities to configure a RAID level 1 (mirrored) array after you have installed the operating system, you will lose access to any data or applications that were previously stored on the secondary drive of the mirrored pair.

Manager
program
to
configure

redundant
array

(RAID)
arrays.
The
following
notes
describe
information
that
you
must
consider:
v
The
integrated
SAS
controller
with
RAID
capabilities
supports
RAID
levels
0
and
1
with
a
hot-spare
drive
installed.
Installing
an
optional
ServeRAID
controller
provides
additional
RAID
levels.
v
You
cannot
use
the
ServerGuide
Setup
and
Installation
CD
to
configure
the
integrated
SAS
controller
with
RAID
capabilities.
v
When
you
create
a
RAID
level
1
(mirrored)
pair,
all
drives
must
be
on
the
same
channel.
v
Hard
disk
drive
capacities
affect
how
you
create
arrays.
The
drives
in
an
array
can
have
different
capacities,
but
the
RAID
controller
treats
them
as
if
they
all
have
the
capacity
of
the
smallest
hard
disk
drive.
v
You
can
set
up
a
mirror
after
the
operating
system
is
installed
on
the
primary
drive
only
if
you
are
using
an
integrated
SAS
controller
with
RAID
capabilities.
You
must
make
sure
that
the
primary
drive
has
the
lower
SCSI
ID
(for
example,
0).
Note:
The
bezel
identifies
the
SCSI
IDs
of
the
hard
disk
drive
bays.
Important:
If
you
use
an
integrated
SAS
controller
with
RAID
capabilities
to
configure
a
RAID
level
1
(mirrored)
array
after
you
have
installed
the
operating
system,
you
will
lose
access
to
any
data
or
applications
that
were
previously
stored
on
the
secondary
drive
of
the
mirrored
pair.
