IBM Power 595 Technical Overview and Introduction
2.14.2 Accessing the ASMI using an ASCII console
The ASMI on an ASCII console supports a subset of the functions provided by the Web
interface and is available only when the system is in the platform standby state. The ASMI on
an ASCII console is not available during some phases of system operation, such as the initial
program load and run time. More information about how to access the ASMI menus using an
ASCII console can be found in the
Service Guide for the 9119-FHA,
SA76-0162, located at:
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/systems/scope/hw/index.jsp

2.14.3 Accessing the ASMI using an HMC
To access the ASMI using the Hardware Management Console (HMC):
1. Ensure that the HMC is set up and configured.
2. In the navigation area, expand the managed system with which you want to work.
3. Expand
Service Applications
and click
Service Focal Point
.
4. In the content area, click
Service Utilities
.
5. From the Service Utilities window, select the managed system.
6. From the Selected menu on the Service Utilities window, select
Launch ASM menu
.
System Management Services
Use the System Management Services (SMS) menus to view information about your system
or partition and to perform tasks such as changing the boot list, or setting the network
parameters.
To start SMS, perform the following steps:
1. For a server that is connected to an HMC, use the HMC to restart the server or partition.
If the server is not connected to an HMC, stop the system, and then restart the server by
pressing the power button on the control panel.
2. For a partitioned server, watch the virtual terminal window on the HMC.
For a full server partition, watch the firmware console.
3. Look for the power-on self-test (POST) indicators: memory, keyboard, network, SCSI, and
speaker that appear across the bottom of the window. Press the numeric 1 key after the
word
keyboard
appears and before the word
speaker
appears.
The SMS menu is useful to define the operating system installation method, choosing the
installation boot device or setting the boot device priority list for a fully managed server or a
logical partition. In the case of a network boot, there are SMS menus provided to set up the
network parameters and network adapter IP address.
For more information about usage of SMS, refer to the IBM Systems Hardware Information
