IBM Advanced System Management Device Driver Diskette version 1.26 CONTENTS -------- 1.0 Overview 2.0 Change History 3.0 System Management Device Driver installation instructions 4.0 Stopping the Netfinity Manager application program 5.0 Web Sites and Support Phone Number 6.0 Trademarks and Notices 7.0 Disclaimer 1.0 Overview ------------- This diskette contains device drivers for the following service processor hardware: - Advanced System Management PCI Adapter card - Advanced System Management Processor, which is part of the planar board on specific models of Netfinity and IBM eServer xSeries servers - Automatic Server Restart (ASR) which is built onto the planar board of specific models of xSeries servers - Remote Supervisor Adapter, which is an option on specific models of xSeries servers 2.0 Change History ------------------- 2.1 Advanced System Management Device Driver version 1.25 to 1.26 For xSeries and Netfinity servers with the Advanced System Management Processor running OS/2: Fixed a bug that intermittently affected an internal system timer. For xSeries and Netfinity servers with the Advanced System Management PCI Adapter card, or the Advanced System Management Processor, or the Remote Supervisor Adapter: The SCO UnixWare driver now supports Caldera Open UNIX 8, and there are new device driver installation instructions that apply to both SCO UnixWare and Caldera Open UNIX. See section 3.0, below. For supported xSeries and Netfinity servers running Windows 2000 or Windows NT: Due to space limitations on this diskette image, the WIndows 2000 and Windows NT system management device drivers are no longer packaged on this diskette image. They are available on their own diskette image from IBM's download site. For the location of the IBM web site, please see section 5.0, below. For Netfinity server models 4500R, 5000, 5100, 5500, 5500-M10, 5500-M20, 5600 and xSeries server models 230, 240 and 340 running OS/2 Warp Server for eBusiness Convenience Pack 1: Changes were made to the OS/2 driver to support this new version of OS/2. 2.2 Advanced System Management Device Driver version 1.24 to 1.25 For xSeries server models 220, 232 and 342 running Windows NT, Windows 2000, Novell NetWare, or SCO UnixWare with the Remote Supervisor Adapter installed: A minor update was made to the IBM Advanced System Management device drivers to support a change in the firmware that runs the Remote Supervisor Adapter. These new drivers are also compatible with earlier versions of the Remote Supervisor Adapter. 2.3 Advanced System Management Device Driver version 1.23 to 1.24 For all xSeries and Netfinity server models running Windows 2000 with service processor hardware installed: Added a setup utility program for use in upgrading or installing the drivers. See the Windows 2000 installation topic in section 3 below. For xSeries 232 and 342 servers running NetWare without the Remote Supervisor Adapter, and for xSeries 300 servers running NetWare: The IBM Advanced System Management device driver for Novell NetWare now supports the Automatic Server Restart (ASR) feature on these servers. The driver automatically detects the ASR hardware so no additional installation steps are necessary from those listed in the NetWare installation topic in section 3 below. 2.4 Advanced System Management Device Driver version 1.22 to 1.23 Added support for future IBM xSeries eServers. 3.0 System Management Device Driver installation instructions -------------------------------------------------------------- Note: The Netfinity Manager application program must be stopped before any of these service processor device drivers can be installed. Please refer to the section 4.0 of this document for instructions on how to stop the Netfinity Manager program. By following the installation instructions shown below, the correct System Management Device Driver will be automatically installed onto your Netfinity Server. If the installation is being done from this diskette, insert this diskette into the server's floppy diskette drive, bring up a command prompt window, screen, or session, and enter one of the following commands. The examples shown below assume the floppy drive is A:. If the installation is being done from the Advanced Systems Management Utilities CD-ROM, insert this CD-ROM into the server's CD-ROM drive, bring up a command prompt window, screen, or session, and enter one of the following commands. The examples shown below assume the CD-ROM drive is D:. For OS/2, type: A:\OS2\SETUP (if installation is from a diskette) or D:\DD\OS2\SETUP (if installation is from a CD-ROM) Follow the directions that appear on the screen For Novell NetWare type one of the following lines in the System Console Session: LOAD A:\NETWARE\SETUP (if installation is from a diskette) or LOAD D:\DD\NETWARE\SETUP (if installation is from a CD-ROM) Follow the directions that appear on the screen For SCO UnixWare and Caldera Open UNIX: NOTE: The system management driver files are now supplied on this diskette in the data stream format to preserve the case sensitivity of the driver file names. All of the following commands that are entered in a shell prompt are case-sensitive. To install the System Management device drivers: - Open a shell prompt - Mount the installation media * For example, if mounting floppy drive 0, type: mount -f dosfs /dev/fd0 /mnt * For example if mounting the default CD-ROM drive, type: mount -f cdfs -o -ro /dev/cdrom/c1b0t0l0 /mnt - Install the System Management device drivers * If installing from either a diskette or cdrom, type: pkgadd -d /mnt/UW7ADVMG/UW7ADVMG.DS - Follow the directions that appear on the screen. 4.0 Stopping the Netfinity Manager application program ------------------------------------------------------- If the Netfinity Manager application program is already running on your Netfinity Server it must be stopped prior to installing any of these device drivers. The following examples show how to do this. For OS/2: * Close any open Netfinity windows * Open a Command prompt * Type: NETFBASE SHUTDOWN For NetWare: * Unload the Netfinity Support Program For SCO UnixWare: * Open a shell prompt * Type: netfbase.exe SHUTDOWN (NOTE: This is a case-sensitive statement.) For more details on how to shutdown the Netfinity application please refer to the Netfinity documentation. 5.0 WEB Sites and Support Phone Number --------------------------------------- 5.1 IBM Support Web Site: http://www.pc.ibm.com/support 5.2 IBM Marketing eServer xSeries Web Site: http://www.pc.ibm.com/us/eserver/xseries 5.3 If you have any questions about this update, or problems applying the update go to the following Help Center World Telephone Numbers URL: http://www.pc.ibm.com/qtechinfo/YAST-3P2QYL.html 6.0 Trademarks and Notices --------------------------- The following terms are trademarks of the Novell Corporation in the United States or other countries or both: Novell NetWare The following terms are trademarks of the Microsoft Corporation in the United States or other countries or both: Windows Windows NT Windows 2000 The following terms are trademarks of the IBM Corporation in the United States or other countries or both: OS/2 Netfinity The following terms are trademarks of Santa Cruz Operation, Inc. in the United States or other countries or both: SCO UnixWare The following terms are trademarks of Caldera International, Inc. in the United States or other countries or both: Open UNIX 7.0 Disclaimer --------------------------- 7.1 THIS DOCUMENT IS PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND.
