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. You can download the ASU from the website. To download the ASU
and update the DMI, complete the following steps.
Note:
Changes are made periodically to the website. The actual procedure might vary slightly from what is
described in this document.
Step 1.
Download the Advanced Settings Utility (ASU) at
http://www.ibm.com/support/entry/portal/docdisplay?lndocid=LNVO-ASU.
Step 2.
ASU sets the DMI in the Integrated Management Module (IMM). Select one of the following
methods to access the Integrated Management Module (IMM) to set the DMI:
• Online from the target system (LAN or keyboard console style (KCS) access)
• Remote access to the target system (LAN based)
• Bootable media containing ASU (LAN or KCS, depending upon the bootable media)
Step 3.
Copy and unpack the ASU package, which also includes other required files, to the server. Make
sure that you unpack the ASU and the required files to the same directory. In addition to the
application executable (asu or asu64), the following files are required:
• For Windows based operating systems:
– ibm_rndis_server_os.inf
– device.cat
• For Linux based operating systems:
– cdc_interface.sh
Step 4.
After you install ASU, type the following commands to set the DMI:
asu set SYSTEM_PROD_DATA.SysInfoProdName <m/t_model> [access_method]
asu set SYSTEM_PROD_DATA.SysInfoSerialNum <s/n> [access_method]
asu set SYSTEM_PROD_DATA.SysEncloseAssetTag <asset_tag> [access_method]
Where:
<m/t_model>
The server machine type and model number. Type
mtm xxxxyyy
, where
xxxx
is the machine
type and
yyy
is the server model number.
<s/n>
The serial number on the server. Type
sn zzzzzzz
, where
zzzzzzz
is the serial number.
<asset_method>
The server asset tag number. Type
asset aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
, where
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
is the asset tag number.
[access_method]
The access method that you select to use from the following methods:
• Online authenticated LAN access, type the command:
[host <imm_internal_ip>] [user <imm_user_id>][password <imm_password>]
Where:
