Netfinity® Manager™ Advanced System Management service

See > Required Device Drivers and installation instructions for the Netfinity Advanced Systems Management processor.

This section provides instructions for starting and using the Netfinity® Manager™ Advanced System Management service.
This service enables you to access, configure, and manage the IBM® Netfinity Advanced System Management Processor.
These instructions include detail on how to install the configuration utilities and device drivers that the Netfinity Advanced System Management processor requires.
This section is intended for anyone who will install and use the Netfinity Advanced System Management processor with Netfinity Manager or Client Services for Netfinity Manager.
This section also provides instructions on using the Netfinity Advanced System Management processor without Netfinity Manager.

  -Important-

•  The Advanced System Management service, installed when you install Netfinity Manager, provides the  most extensive functionality available with the Netfinity Advanced System Management processor.
   Netfinity Manager is included with this server.
  
•  If you do not install Netfinity Manager, many of the advanced features of the Netfinity Advanced System  Management processor will not be available to you.
   For information on how to install Netfinity Manager, see the 'ServerGuide and Netfinity Manager Information'  section of this Server Library .
•  This section of this Server Library  explains how to use the Advanced System Management service with  the Netfinity Advanced System Management processor that is included with the server.
   This service can also be used to manage other Advanced System Management hardware, including:
  •  PC Server Advanced System Management Adapter Option
  •  Netfinity Advanced System Management PCI Adapter
     (included with the Netfinity server, and available as an option for use with
     servers that include the Netfinity Advanced System Management processor)

   The features available with the Advanced System Management service vary depending on the Advanced  System Management hardware that they are managing.
   For detailed information on using the Advanced System Management service with Advanced System Management  hardware other than the Netfinity Advanced System Management processor, see the documentation that is  included with the option or the Server Library  that is included with the server.

With the Advanced System Management service, you can configure system-management events (such as POST, loader, and operating-system timeouts or critical temperature, voltage, and tamper alerts).
If any of these events occurs, the Advanced System Management service can be configured to automatically forward a Netfinity alert in one of four ways:

•  To another Netfinity system using the modem
•  To a standard numeric pager
•  To an alphanumeric pager
•  To another Netfinity system using the network connection  (available only when using Advanced System Management service with a Netfinity  Advanced System Management PCI Adapter)

With this service, you can use the system's modem to dial out and directly access and control a remote system's Advanced System Management PCI Adapter or Advanced System Management Processor.
If the remote system has a Netfinity Advanced System Management PCI Adapter installed and the adapter is connected to a Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) network, you can use the Dynamic Connection Manager service (installed when you installed Netfinity Manager and the Advanced System Management service) to open a TCP/IP link with the Netfinity Advanced System Management PCI Adapter from the Netfinity Manager system.

Finally, if the Netfinity Advanced System Management PCI Adapter or Advanced System Management Processor is connected to an Advanced System Management (ASM) Interconnect network, or if the remote Netfinity Advanced System Management PCI Adapter adapter or Advanced System Management Processor to which you have connected using the system's modem or TCP/IP connection is connected to an ASM Interconnect network, you can use this connection to access and manage the Advanced System Management PCI Adapter or Advanced System Management Processor of any other system that is connected to the ASM Interconnect network.
