Hello, I got a System i5 machine here I want to get going, model
9406-520 (POWER5).
Sorry if this is a dumb question (new to this platform!) but how do I
access the SMS and OpenFirmware menus? Reading the IBM docs, this is how
to setup LPARs and then install the i OS or AIX/Linux, is that correct?
Using the ASMI menu via ASCII terminal on port A at 19200,8,N,1 which
works OK, but no SMS or OF menu appears after setting the boot mode to
SMS or OF. Should I expect it to appear on this same port or is an HMC
or some other tool necessary?
Thanks for any help!
Stuart.
