To start the LSI Logic Configuration Utility program, complete the following steps:
Note:
The LSI controller on your blade server is a UEFI compatible device and can
also be configured through the Setup utility for your blade server (see
“Configuring UEFI compatible devices” on page 34).
1.
Turn on the blade server, and make sure that the blade server is the owner of
the keyboard, video, and mouse.
2.
When the
<<<Press Ctrl-C to start LSI Logic Configuration Utility>>>
prompt is displayed, press Ctrl+C.
3.
Use the arrow keys to select the controller from the list of adapters; then, press
Enter.
4.
Follow the instructions on the screen to change the settings of the selected
items; then, press Enter. If you select

Using LAN over USB to interface the IMM
The IMM does not require IPMI device drivers or USB daemons for in-band IMM
communication. Instead, a LAN over USB interface enables in-band
communications to the IMM; the IMM hardware on the system board presents an
internal Ethernet NIC from the IMM to the operating system. LAN over USB is
also called the "USB in-band interface" in the IMM Web interface.
Typically, the IMM IP address for the LAN over USB interface is set to a static
address of 169.254.95.118 with a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0. In the event of an IP
address collision on the network, the IMM might obtain a different IP address in
the 169.254.
xxx.xxx
range.
Because the IMM might obtain a random IP address for the LAN over USB
interface, the IBM Advanced Settings Utility (ASU) and firmware flash utilities,
DSA, and the IBM Director Agent use the Service Location Protocol (SLP) to
discover the IMM IP address. These tools perform an SLP multicast discovery on
the LAN over USB interface. When they receive a response from the IMM, they
obtain the attributes that contain the IP address the IMM is using for the LAN over
USB interface.
Potential conflicts with the LAN over USB interface
In some situations, the IMM LAN over USB interface can conflict with certain
network configurations, applications, or both.
For example, Open MPI attempts to use all of the available network interfaces on a
server. Open MPI detects the IMM LAN over USB interface and attempts to use it
to communicate with other systems in a clustered environment. The LAN over
