RE: HMC 7063-CR1 configuration and initial P9 power on -- MIDRANGE-L

10-4, sounds like a plan.

Thanks Jim and Evan.

The P9 is supposed to be "lighting fast" compared to my old P7.
So this should have only taken a nano-second.
"haha".

Yea that short walk tends to heal several wounds and settle folks down.

As I said before, the P9s just need time to fight a bit.

Hi Paul

yes, that's assuming the IP address is already assigned (like for instance
if you moved it from another HMC) The find function uses a range of
addresses to look for a specific system, again assuming an address has been
assigned. Basically there's a DHCP thing going on between the HMC and the
Managed Server.

if the system has not been powered on or connected to a HMC before then
just check your HMC cabling to make sure it is correct. If you have to
change it you might need to give it a few minutes.I;ve occasionally been a
bit frustrated and then the managed system just pops up so going for a
short walk can't hurt. A watched pot never boils and all that.

Evan,

I have all that.
The "add managed system" is asking for an IP address.

Hi Paul

You should only need the connection between the HMC and the server at this
point, so you only need the connection to between Ethernet Connector 1 on
the HMC and HMC1 port on the Power server.

If the cabling is correct you can always use the HMC Find Managing system
function to go and search for the system. if it is not connected then
connecting it should be enough but you will need to be a little bit patient
as it takes a few minutes.

Evan,

I'll have to repeat these steps below, since my HMC did not see the

server.

- Connect Power to the Managed System; watch them complete the intitial
power on sequence (basically until the power light is flashing)
- Look for the managed system in the HMC using the serial number to
verify; if my cabling is correct it should have connected and be waiting
for first time authentication

Question.
Do the server's 5899 NIC cards have to be connected at this time?
I didn't think they did?

Hi Paul

I am not sure which manual the table you are referring to appears in, but
generally the sequence of events I follow is something like:
- cable up the machine(s) and HMC including network cables
- Power up the HMC and perform basic configuration
- Connect Power to the Managed System; watch them complete the
intitial power on sequence (basically until the power light is flashing)
- Look for the managed system in the HMC using the serial number to

verify;

if my cabling is correct it should have connected and be waiting for

first

time authentication
- Go through and enter the managed system passwords and ASMI passwords
- At that point I might start the Managed system using the HMC

I would not skip the passwords as they are required to allow the HMC to
manage the system.

Hope this helps.

I'm following Table 1. Manual HMC configuration tasks and where to find
related information

13. Connect the managed system to a power source.

14. Set passwords for the managed system, and each of the ASMI

passwords

(general and admin) Setting passwords for the managed system

15. Access ASMI to set the date and time on the managed system.

16. Start the managed system and return to this checklist when you have
completed this step.

Questions.

1) Do steps 14 and 15 need to be completed at this time or can they be
done at a latter point?

I've never logged into our ASMI on our current system.

Step 16,

2) How is the managed system stated at this point?

Does it need to be powered on manually before it is added "Add managed
system"?

How is it powered on this done if not yet appearing on the HMC?

Thank You
