System requirements for the Advanced System Management Service with Netfinity Manager: The minimum system requirements for using the Advanced System Management service are: System management processor (built into the Netfinity 5500) Netfinity Manager or Client Services for Netfinity Manager, version 5.10.4 or later 2 MB of available hard disk drive space Accessing the System Management Processor without Netfinity Manager If for some reason you are unable to use Netfinity Manager to access and manage the system management processor, you can use a terminal program and a modem to connect directly to the system management processor. This modem should be connected to management port C. (Refer to "Management port C" on page 167 for information on management port C.) When connected, you will be able to access a variety of monitor, configuration, and error log data. You can also power the remote (Netfinity 5500) system on or off, shutdown and restart the server, and initiate remote video mode on the system management processor. Remote video mode enables you to remotely monitor all textual output generated during POST. All POST data will be displayed in the terminal program window as the remote system completes POST. While you are monitoring POST on the remote system, all local (terminal program) keystrokes are relayed automatically to the remote system, enabling you to use POST utilities (such as system configuration, RAID mini-configuration program, and diagnostic programs) that can be accessed during POST. To use a terminal program to establish a connection with the system management processor: 1. Use a terminal program to establish a connection with the system management processor modem. The modem settings you should use are: Baud 57.6 k Data Bits 8 Parity None Stop Bits 1 Flow Control Hardware 2. Log in to the system management processor. When you have established a connection with the system management processor, you will be prompted for a username and password. You must provide a username and password combination that has been previously configured for use with the system 66 Netfinity Server HMM
