Note:

When using the remote LAN access method to access IMM using the LAN from a client, the

host

and the

imm_external_ip

address are required parameters.

host <imm_external_ip> [user <imm_user_id>[[password <imm_password>]

Where:

imm_external_ip

The external IMM LAN IP address. There is no default value. This parameter is required.

imm_user_id

The IMM

account

(1 of 12 accounts). The default value is USERID.

imm_password

The IMM account password (1 of 12 accounts). The default value is PASSW0RD (with a
zero 0 not an O).

The following commands are examples of using the user ID and password default values and not
using the default values:

Example that does not use the user ID and password default values:

asu set SYSTEM_PROD_DATA.SYsInfoUUID <uuid_value> host <imm_ip>
user <user_id> password <password>

Example that does use the userid and password default values:

asu set SYSTEM_PROD_DATA.SysInfoUUID <uuid_value> host <imm_ip>

5.

Restart the server.

Updating the DMI/SMBIOS data

The Desktop Management Interface (DMI) must be updated when the system board is replaced. Use the
Advanced Settings Utility to update the DMI in the UEFI-based server. The ASU is an online tool that
supports several operating systems. Make sure that you download the version for your operating system.
To download the ASU and update the DMI, complete the following steps.

executable (asu or asu64), the following files are required:

v

For Windows based operating systems:
– ibm_rndis_server_os.inf
– device.cat

v

For Linux based operating systems:
– cdc_interface.sh

4.

After you install ASU, Type the following commands to set the DMI:

asu set SYSTEM_PROD_DATA.SysInfoProdName <m/t_model> [access_method]
