Chapter 2. Cabling the server

When you cable the server, be sure to route the power cable through the cablerestraint bracket on the rear of the server. Because your xSeries 150 is a "headless" server, you will not need to connect a mouse or keyboard cable when cabling your server. You wil l only need to connect the power cable and network cables.

Before cabling the server, you must first unpack the appliance server and place it in the location where it will be installed or, if you are installing a rack-mounted model, install the appliance server in a rack. For more informatio n on how to install a rackmounted server in a rack, see “Appendix A. Rack Installation Instructions,” on page

35.

Notes:

1. If you plan to use the IBM Advanced Appliance Conf iguration Utility to configure and manage your appliance, be sure to connect the built-in Ethernet connector to the same physical network as your sys tems management console.

2. The illustrations in this document might differ slightly from your hardware.

Chapter 4. Appliance Configuration Programs

Your xSeries appliance server comes with programs that can be used to configure, manage, and maintain your applia nce server. These configuration programs include:

• Universal Manageability Services

Universal Manageability Services (UM Services) provides point-to-point remote management of client systems through a Web browser window. Use UM Services to:

— Learn detailed inventory information about your computers, including

operating system, memory, network cards and hardware.

— Trac k your computers proactively with features such as power

management, event log, and system monito r capa bilities.

— Upwardly integrate with Tivoli Enterprise, Tivoli NetView, Computer

Associates Unicenter, Microsoft SMS, and Intel LANDesk Management Suite.

• IBM Advanced Appliance Configuration Utility

The Advanced Appliance Configuration Utility aids in setting up and reconfiguring the network configuration o n your appliance servers. The Advanced Appliance Configuration Utility agent, preinstalled on your IBM xSeries appliance, works with the Advanced Appliance Configuration Utility console to automatically detect the presence of appliances on the network. Once the appliance server is detected by the Advanced Appliance Configuration Utility console, use the Advanced Appliance Configuration Utility to set up and manage the appliance’s network configuration, including assigning the IP address, default gateway, network mask, and DNS server to be used by the appliance. You can also use the Advanced Appliance Configuration Utility to start UM Services on the appliance, enabling you to perform more advanced systems management tasks.

• Terminal Services Client

Because your xSeries appliance server is installed in a "headless" environment (meaning that the appliance does not have a mouse or keyboard attached to it), you must perform systems management tasks on the appliance from a remote systems management console. The Terminal Services Client, when installed on a workstation that is attached to the same network as the appliance server, enables remote administration of the appliance.

Information about each of these appliance configuration programs follows.

Universal Manageability Services

Universal Manageability Services (UM Services) is a suite of graphical user interfaces (GUIs) that enhances the local or remote administration, monitoring, and maintenance of IBM systems. UM Services is a lightweight client that resides on each managed computer system. With UM S ervices, a client-system user or remote s ystems administrator can use a supported Web browser or the Microsoft Management Console (MMC) and UM Services Web console support to inventory, monitor, and troubleshoot IBM systems on which UM Services is in stalled.

This "point-to-point" systems-management approach, in which a system-management administrator uses a Web browser to connect directly to a remote client system, can be

Page 26

14 IBM® xSeries 150: Ins ta llation Guide

used to enhance support and to enable systems administrators to effectively maintain IBM systems without requiring them to install additional systems-management software on their administrator console.

In addition to point-to-point systems-management support, UM Services also includes support for UM Services Upward Integration Modules (Aims) . Aims enable systems-management professionals who use any supporte d systems-management platform (including Tivoli Enterprise, CA Unicenter TNG Framework, and Microsoft Systems Management Server (SMS) to integrate portions of UM Services into their systems-management console. Because it was designed to use industry-standard information gathering techno logies and messaging protocols (including Com mon Information Model (CIM), Desktop Mana gement Interface (DMI), and Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), UM Services adds value to any of these supported workgroup or enterprise system-management platforms.

Complete documentation on how to use UM Services is included on the IBM xSeries 150 Documentation CD.

System Requirements

The UM Services client is preinstalled o n your xSeries appliance server. However, you must have a supported web browser installed on your systems management console. Supported browsers include:

• Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.01 or later

Notes:

1. If you are using Internet Explorer 5.x, you must install the optional Java Virtual Machine (VM) support to access a client system running UM Services.

2. If you are using Internet Explorer and you reinstall Internet Explorer after installing UM Services you must reapply the Microsoft VM update. The UM Services client requires Microsoft VM Build 3165 or later. Download the latest Microsoft VM from

http://www.microsoft.com/java

• Netscape Navigator or Netscape Communicator 4.5 or later

• Microsoft Management Console (MMC) 1.1 or later

Note: If you install UM Services before you install MMC 1.1 o r later you will

not have an icon for Microsoft Management Console in the IBM Universal Manageability Services section of your Start Menu.

Starting UM Services

Before you can use UM Services, you must configure the network se ttings (such as IP address, subnet mask, and so forth) on your xSeries appliance server. You can use IBM Advanced Appliance Configuration Utility or Windows Terminal Services Client to configure the network setting remotely, or you can attach a keyboard and mouse to your appliance server and configure the Network settings using the Windows Control Panel. Once you have configured the network settings for your appliance, you are ready to use UM Services.

To start UM Services:

1. Start your web browser and then type in the Address or Location field of the

browser

http://ip_address:1411

where ip_address is IP address of the appliance server, and then press Enter.

Page 27

Chapter 4. Appliance Configuration Programs 15

Or, type

htp://ibm-xxxxxxx:1411

where xxxxxxx is the IBM serial number of the appliance, and then Enter.

2. A user login window appears. Type Administrator in the Username field, and type password for the Password field. You can leave domain blank. Make sure the "Save this password in your password list" checkbox is not checked, and then click OK.

Note: The first time you connect you may be prompted to install XML a nd

Swing components. Follow the on-screen instructions to install these components, then close and restart Internet Explorer before you proceed.

3. You are now connected to the appliance via UMS. Complete documentation on how to use UM Services is included on the IBM xSeries 150 Documentation CD. In additional to the standard UM Services functionality, your xSeries applaince includes additional functionality, available from the Applainces tab in the UM Services console. The default view when you connect to your appliance the Terminal Services panel, which displays a Windows 2000 Terminal Services Web Connection page. To connect to the appliance to manage it as though you were running Terminal Services Client from your desktop:

a. Type in the IP address field the IP Address of the server (seen in upper left

hand corner of left UMS panel), or enter IBM-{xxxxxxx} (where xxxxxxx is the serial number that appears on the front of the appliance).

b. Choose a size other than full screen which the Appliance desktop will appear

in, then click Connect to start the Te rminal Services Client session on the appliance. A user login widow appears.

c. Log into the appliance. Type Administrator in the Username field, type pass

word in the password field, and then click OK to log in. Once you have logged in, you can begin using Terminal Services Cleint to configure and manage your appliance.

Note: To ensure system security, use Windows Powered to change th e

Administrator password from "password" to something else. Once you do, or if you create another user in the Administrator group in the future, use your new username/password combination instead of the default username/password combination.

IBM Advanced Appliance Configuration Utility

The IBM Advanced Appliance Configurat ion Utility aids in setting up and reconfiguring the network configuration on yo ur xSeries appliance servers. The Advanced Appliance Configuration U tility agent, preinstalled on your IBM xSeries appliance, works with the Advanced Appliance Configuration Utility console, a Javabased application that is installed on a network-attached system that will be used as a systems management console that enables you to automatically detect the presence of xSeries appliances on the network. Once the xSeries appliance is detected by the Advanced Appliance Configuration Utility console, use the Advanced Appliance Configuration Utility to set up and manage the appliance’s network configuration, including assigning the IP address, defa ult gateway, network ma sk, and DNS server to be used by the appliance. You can also use the Advanced Appliance Configuration Utility to start Universal Manageab ility Services (UM Services) on the appliance, enabling you to perform more advanced systems management tasks.

Networks that are not currently running DHCP servers will find the Advanced Appliance Configuration Utility particularly useful for automatically configu ring network settings for newly added applian c e servers. However, networks with DHCP servers will benefit from using the Advanced Applianc e Configuration Utility as it enables the systems administrator to reserve and assign the appliance IP address in an

Page 28

16 IBM® xSeries 150: Ins ta llation Guide

orderly, automated fashion. Even if the customer decides to use DHCP and does not choose to reserve an IP address for the appliance, the Advanced Appliance Configuration Utility can still be used to discover appliances and to start UM Services web-based systems manage ment.

Notes:

1. The Advanced Appliance Configuration configures and reports the TCP/IP settings of the first adapter on each appliance server only. The first adapter is typically the built-in Ethernet controller. Be sure to connect the built-in Ethernet connector to the same physical network as yo ur systems management console.

2. The Advanced Appliance Configuration Utility must be running to configure newly installed appliance servers automatically.

3. The system running the Advanced Appliance Configuration Utility console automatically maintains a copy of its database (ServerConfiguration.dat) in the Advanced Appliance Configuration Station installation directory. To remove previous configuration data, close the Advanced Appliance Configuration Utility, delete this file, and then restart the utility. This deletes all previously configured Families. However, the Advanced Appliance Configuration Utility will discover connected xSeries appliances and their network settings.

The Advanced Appliance Configuration Utility Agent

Once your appliance is connected to your network, the Advanced Appliance Configuration Utility agent automa tically reports the appliance’s MAC address (of the first NIC only), serial number, type of appliance, and whether DHCP in use by the appliance or not. Furthermore, it will report the hostname, primary IP address, subnet mask, primary DNS address, and primary gateway addres s if these are config ur ed on the system.

The Advanced Appliance Configuration Utility agent is preinstalled on your xSeries appliance.

Note: The Advanced Appliance Configuration Utility agent periodically broadcasts

the appliance server IP settings. To prevent the service from broadcasting this data periodically, stop the iaaconfig service.

The Advanced Appliance Configuration Utility Console

The Advanced Appliance Configuration Utility Console is a Java application that you install on one system in your network that will be used as a systems management console. For information on how to install the Advanced Appliance Configuration Utility Console, see “Using the Supplementary CD” on page 26.

Note: Do not install the Advanced Appliance Configuration Utility Conso le on

more than one systems management console.

The Advanced Appliance Configuration Utility Console enables you to:

• Automatically discover xSeries appliance servers that run the Advanced Appliance Configuration Utility agen t and are attached to the same physical subnet as the Advanced Appliance Confi guration Utility Console.

When you start the Advanced Appliance Configuration Utility Console it automatically detects all applian c e servers on yo ur physical subnet that are running the Advanced Appliance Configurati on Utility agent.

• Use a simple, GUI-based application to configure the appliance servers network settings.

Use the Advanced Appliance Configuration Utility to assign IP addresses, DNS and gateway server addresse s, subnet masks, hostnames, and more.

Page 29

Chapter 4. Appliance Configuration Programs 17

• Automatically group discovered appliances into function-specific Families. Appliances are added to a Family based on the appliance type. Appliances

running different operating systems, but which perform the same function, appear in the same Family.

• Start UM Services web-based systems management console. Launch UM Services on your appliance servers and perform advanced systems

management tasks on a selected appliance server with a single mouse click.

The Advanced Appliance Configuration Utility Console is divided into two panes:

• The Tree View Pane The Tree View Pane, located on the left side of the Advanced Appliance

Configuration Utility Console window, presents a list of all discovered xSeries appliances and includes any Families you have previously defined. The Tree View Pane also includes groups for appliances that do not fit any of the defined Families, that were not configured using the Advanced Appliance Configuration Utility, or that ha ve IP addresses that conflict with other devices on your network. When you click on any item in the Tree View information about that item (and any items which are nested below that item in the tree view) information about the selected item appears in the Informa tion Pane.

• The Information Pane The Information Pane, located at the right side of the Advanced Appliance

Configuration Utility Console, displa ys information about the item that is currently selected in the Tree View Pane. The information that appears in the Information Pane varies depending on the item that is selected. For example, if you select the All Appliances item from the Tree View Pane, the Information Pane displays configuration information (IP settings, hostname, serial number, and so forth) about all of the xSeries appliances that have been discovered by the Advanced Appliance Configuration U tility Console. However, if you select a Family, the Information Pane displays information about the Family settings for the selected Family.

The Advanced Appliance Configuration Utility Console also features the following menus:

• File Use the selections available form the File menu to import or export the

Advanced Appliance Configuration Utility Console configuration data , to rescan the network, or to exit the program.

• Family Use the selections available from the Family menu to add or delete Families, or to move Families up or down in the tree view.

• Appliance Use the selections available form the Appliance menu to remove a previously discovered appliance from a Family or group, and to add an appliance to the first matching Family in the tree view.

• Help Use the Help menu to display product information.

Discovering xSeries Appliances

Any xSeries appliance server that is running and is connected to the sa me subnet as the system running the Advanced Appliance Configuration Utility console is automatically discovered when you start the Advanced Appliance Configuration Utility console. Discovered appliances appear in the Advanc ed Appl iance Configuration Utility console tree view (found in the left pane of the Advanced Appliance Configuration Utility console window). Each appliance will appear in two locations in the tree view:

Page 30

18 IBM® xSeries 150: Ins ta llation Guide

1. Every discovered appliance is listed in the tree view under All Appliances.

2. Each discovered appliance will also appear in one of the following portions of the tree view:

• In a Family

If the discovered appliance fits the requirements of a Family, it will automatically appear as part of a Family.

Note: If a discovered appliance fits the requirements of more than one

Family, it is automatically added to the first appropriate Family that is listed in the tree view, starting from the top of the tree. For information on how to move appliances between families, see

“Using Families and Groups in the Tree View”.

• In the Orphaned Appliances group

If the discovered appliance does not fit a previously configured Family, it is placed in the Orphaned Appliances grou p .

• In the Orphaned Externally Configured Appliances group

Appliances that are running the Advanced Appliance Configuration Utility agent, but that have a network configuration that wa s not set by the Advanced Appliance Configuration Utility agent or console, will appear in the Orphaned Externally Configured Appliances group. If an appliance is contained in the Orphaned Externally Configured Appliances group you can use the Adopt By First Matching Family f unction to add it to a previously defined Family. For more information, see “Using the Adopt by First Matching Family Fun c tion” on page 21.

Using Families and Groups in the Tree View

Families are important elements of the Advanced Appl iance Configuration Utility. They specify the parameters the Advanced Appliance Con figuration Utility uses to automatically categorize discovered appliances and to con fi gure them with the appropriate network settings. Family rules are defined solely by appliance type or purpose. Each Family can contain only one type of appliance. The only way to automatically apply predetermined networ k settings to newly installed and discovered appliance servers is to create and use Families.

Appliance servers that match the rules criteria for a Family group can be automatically configured to use predefined networ k settings. A Family can be configured to allow appliances to use DHCP to configure their IP settings, or can be defined to automatically assign IP settings (such as primary gateway and DNS server addresses, assigning an IP address from a specified IP address range, and specifying a subnet mask). Host names for discovered appliances can also be defined so that they are allocated using either a Prefix or Serial Number.

The Advanced Appliance Configuration Utility is not the only way to configure network settings. For example, network settings can be configured using Terminal Services for Windows or by attaching a keyboard and mouse to the appliance and using Windows Control Panel on the server. If the appliance network settings have been configured by a method other than using the Advanced Appliance Configuration Utility the appliance will be discovered by the Advanced Appliance Configuration Utility and it will be added to an appropriate Family, if one exists. Appliances that have been configured using a method other than the Advanced Appliance Configuration Utility for which no appropriate family exists will appear in the Orphaned Externally Configured Appliances group.

The Tree View Panel contains the following items:

• All Appliances Every discovered appliance is listed in the tree view under All Appliances.

Page 31

Chapter 4. Appliance Configuration Programs 19

• Families The Families group in the Tree View Pane shows all Families that have been

defined, with appliance servers that have already been assigned to each Family nested beneath the Family name in the tree view. Families are defined by appliance purpose so all appliances that appear in a given family are of the same type. If you select a Family from the Tree View Pane a description of the Family and the rules that are used to define the selected Family are displayed in the Information Pane. If you select an appl iance server from a Family in the Tree View Pane, the selected appliance network settings are displayed in the Information Pane.

If you are not using DHCP, the Advanced Appliance Configuration Utility automatically assigns one IP address per appliance server, using available addresses within the range defined in the Family rules. When a Family’s IP address range has been exhausted, the Advanced Appliance Configuration Utility automatically searches for other Fam ilies that have rules matching the appliance server being configured. If a matching Family with an available address is found, the server will automatically be assigned to the Family that has available IP addresses. This enables you to define multiple Families, each of which uses a range of non-contiguous IP address ranges.

When an appliance is discovered on the network, the Advanced Appliance Configuration Utility automa tically searches all previously defined Families, starting with the first Family listed in the Families tree view and moving downward. Appliances are automatically added to the first defined Family that matches the appliance purpose. Therefore, the order in which Families appear is important. To adjust this search order, right click on a Family and then select Move Up or Move Down to adjust its position within the Families list.

• Orphaned Appliances Any discovered appliance servers that have been configured using the

Advanced Appliance Configuration Utility but that do not meet the rules for any existing Family are automatically added to the Orphaned Appliances group.

• Orphaned Externally Configured Appliances Any discovered appliance server that has been configured without using the

Advanced Appliance Configuration Utility tool and that does not meet the rules for any existing Family is automatically added to the Orphaned Externally Configured Appliances group. Appliance servers configured without the Advanced Appliance Configuration Utility that meet the rules for any existing Family are automatically added to the matching Family. To add an Orphaned Externally configured Appliance to an appropriate Family that was created after the orphaned appliance was discovered, right-click on the orphaned appliance and select Adopt by First Matching Family. For more information, see “Using the Adopt by First Matching Family Function” on page 21.

Note: The Advanced Appliance Configuration U tility will not change

manually configured network setti ngs of discovered appliance servers. If the manually configured IP and Subnet addresses fit an existing Family, the Advanced Appliance Configuration Utility will plac e tha t appliance server into that Family, but will not change any other settings (such as Host Name or DNS or Gateway add resses) .

• Conflicting Network Addresses Any discovered appliance server that has the same IP address as a previously

discovered appliance server will be listed in the Conflicting Network Addresses group.

Creating a Family: To create a Family:

1. Select Create Family from the Family menu.

Page 32

20 IBM® xSeries 150: Ins ta llation Guide

The Advanced Appliance Configuration Utility Family Setup window appears.

2. Select the Appliance Family Rules. The Appliance Family Rules determine what purpose an appliance must serve to

be included in the Family. You can select one of the following values:

• IBM xSeries 150

• IBM xSeries 130 and 135

3. Specify a Family name. Type in the Family Name field that name that will be used for this Family.

4. Specify network resources to be used by members of the Family. You can use the Advanced Appliance Configuration Utility to assign network

resources for members of this Family, to you can use a DHCP server to assign network resources.

• To use the Advanced Appliance Configuration Utility to assign network

resources, uncheck the Use DHCP checkbox and fill in the following fields:

Min IP Address

The lowest IP address in a range of IP addresses that can be assigned to an appliance that is a member of this Family

Max IP Address

The highest IP address in a range of IP addresses that can be assigned to an appliance that is a member of this Family

Subnet Mask The subnet mask value that will be used by appliances that

are members of this Family

Default Gateway

The IP address of the default gateway that will be used by appliances that are members of this Family (optional)

DNS The IP address of the Domain Name Server that will be used by

appliances that are members of this Family (optional)

• To use a DHCP server to assign network resources, check the Use DHCP

checkbox. This will allow a DHCP server on your network to assign an IP address and subnet mask and to specify the default gateway address and address of the Domain Name Server that will be used by appliances that are members of this Family.

5. Select a Host Name Allocation Type. The Host Name Allocation Type enables you to automatically specify a specific

Host Name that members of this Family will use. You can select one of the following Host Name Allocation Types:

No Allocation

No preconfigured host name format will be assigned to appliances that are members of this family.

Use Serial Number

The Serial Number of the discovered appliance will be used as a host name for the appliance.

Use Prefix Name

A user-specified prefix, along with an incremental number for each appliance, will be used for the host name of each appliance that is a member of this Family. Type the desired prefix in the Host Name Prefix field.

6. Click OK to save this Family.

Page 33

Chapter 4. Appliance Configuration Programs 21

Removing Appliances from Families: Use the Remove Appliance to delete an appliance from the Advanced Appliance Configuration Utility console database. Removing an appliance that is no longer in use allows the IP address that was assigned to the appliance to be allocated to another appliance. You can also removing an appliance from a family and then Rescan the network to add it to an appropriate Family that appears higher in the Tree View pane.

To remove an appliance, right-click on the appliance, and then select Remove Appliance from the pop-up menu.

• If the Advanced Appliance Configuration Utility is unable to communicate with the selected appliance (because, for example, it has been removed from the network or has failed) the appliance is removed immediately.

• If the Advanced Appliance Configuration Utility is able to communicate with the selected appliance you will be asked to confirm removal of the appliance before the appliance removal task is completed. This helps prevent accidental removal of an active and functional appliance.

Using the Adopt by First Matching Family Function: Use the Adopt by First Matching Family function to:

• Add an Orphaned Externally Configured Appliance to an appropriate Family. Appliances that have been configured without using the Advanced Appliance

Configuration Utility tool and that do not meet the rules for any existing Family are automatically added to the Orphaned Externally Configured Appliances group. If, after the orphaned appliance is discovered, you create a Family that is appropriate for the orphaned appliance, right-click on the orphaned appliance and select Adopt by First Matching Family to move the appliance from the Orphaned Externally Configured Appliances group to the newly created Family.

• Move an appliance from one Family to another appropriate Family that occurs higher in the list of previously defined Families. If there is more than one appropriate Family for a newly discovered appliance, it automatically appears in the first appropriate Family in the list of Families. If you want to move a discovered appliance from one appropriate Family to another appropriate Family:

1. Right-click on the Family that you want the appliance moved to.

2. Select Move Up in List to move the selected Family up in the list of families. Repeat steps 1 and 2 until the Family that you want to add the appliance to appears above the Family that currently contains the appliance.

3. Right-click on the appliance that you want to move to another Family and then select Adopt by First Matching Family.

Launching UM Services

You can use the Advanced Appliance Configuration Utility to quickly and easily launch UM Services on your xSeries appliances.

Note: The selected appliance server must be running Universal Manageability (UM)

Services as a UM Services client. Also, the systems management console (the system that is running the Advanced Appliance Configuration Utility Console) must use a web browser that is supported for use with UM Services, and if you have never used UM Services from this system previously you will need to install several plug-ins before proceeding. If you are using an unsupported browser, or if your browser does not have the necessary plugins, you will be notified when you attempt to launch UM Services on the appliance. For more information on UM Services, see the fo llowing web site:

http://www.pc.ibm.com/ww/software/applications/ums/library.html

Page 34

22 IBM® xSeries 150: Ins ta llation Guide

T o use the Advanced Appliance Configuration Utility Console to start UM Services on an appliance:

1. Click on the appliance in the Advanced Appliance Configuration Utility Console Tree View Pane.

When you select the appliance from the tree vie information about the selected appliance appears in the Information Pa ne. A Start Web-Based Management button appears as well.

2. Click Start Web-Based Management. Your default web browser starts, loading the UM Services console automatically.

3. Log on to the UM Services console. Refer to step 2 on page 15 for proper login instruction.

Universal Manageability Services User’s Guide, included on your IBM xSeries 150 Documentation CD.

Terminal Services Client

To install the T erminal Services Client on the remote workstation and connect to your xSeries appliance server:

1. Insert the Supplementary CD into the workstation CD-ROM drive.

2. Click Start-> Run.

3. In the Open field, type (with quotes)

"x:\Terminal Services Client\Disk 1\setup.exe"

where x is the drive letter assigned to the CD-ROM drive. Then click OK to begin the Terminal Services Client Setup program.

4. Accept the defaults in each window that opens or refer to the Microsoft Windows documentation for more instructions. When the Terminal Services Client Setup program is completed proceed to the next step.

5. Check the workstation network TCP/IP protocol configuration settings. The IP address used by the workstation must be obtained automatically. If the

network interface card for the workstation is configured to obtain an IP address automatically you can proceed to the next step. However, if the network interface card for the workstation is configured to use a static IP address you must set the IP Address and Subnet mask properties as follows:

a. Set the IP address.

If the workstation’s network interface card is configured to use a static IP address you must configure it to obtain an IP address automatically.

b. Set the Subnet mask to: 255.255.0.0

Notes:

a. Y ou might be prompted to restart the workstation after you have changed the

configuration.

b. Do not be concerned if you do not have a DHCP server on your network. This

configuration automatically a ssigns an unused IP address to the workstatio n that is on the same subnet as the xSeries appliance servers attached to the LAN.

c. If you are not certain how to check the workstation network TCP/IP protocol

configuration settings refer to the Microsoft Windows documentation tha t came with your workstation f or network configuration instructions.

Chapter 5. Using the Recovery and Supplementary CDs

This chapter describes the applications included on the xSeries 150 Supplementary and Recovery CDs, and how and when you should use them.

Note: The IBM xSeries 150 is a preloaded appliance server. Changing the preloaded

software configuration in any way, including applying or installing unauthorized service packs or updates to preinstalled software, or installing additional software products that are not included in either the preloaded image or on the Supplementary CD is not supported and could cause unpredictable results. To correct problems with a preloaded software component, you must backup your user and system data; then, use the Recovery CD to restore the preloaded software image. You can obtain IBM authorized updates for this preloaded appliance from the following site:

http://www.ibm.com/eserver/xseries

Using the Recovery Enablement Diskette and Recovery CD

The Recovery CD is a startable CD that contains the preload image for your xSeries 150 and is used to recover the preloaded image on your server. You must start your server using the Recovery Enablement Diskette before you will be able to use the Recovery CD.

To recover the preloaded image on your server:

1. Insert the diskette into the diskette drive and restart the server. When the Recovery Enablement Diskette ha s completed loading and

reconfiguring your server startup sequence the server will begin beeping. Do not continue with this procedure until the server begins beeping.

2. Remove the Recovery Enablement Diskette from the diskette drive.

3. Place the Recovery CD in the CD-ROM drive and restart the server.

The recovery process will begin automatically and the or iginal manufacturing preload will be restored. After the preload image is restored the system restarts automatically and all final operating system configuration changes are performed.

The Recovery Enablement Diskette enables the xSeries 150 to start from the CDROM drive. Y ou will not be able to restore the preload image from the Recovery CD without first restarting the server using the Recovery Enablement Diskette.

If you are unable to connect to your appliance, first confirm that the problem is not being caused by a network connectivity issue. Once you have confirmed network connectivity, contact IBM service or attach a monitor, mouse, and keyboard to your appliance and troubleshoot the appliance server using the following tools and procedures.

The following tools are available to help you identify and resolve hardware-related problems:

• Beep codes and error messages

The power-on self-test (POST) generates beep codes to indicate successful test completion or the detection of a problem.

— One beep indicates successful completion of POST. — More than one beep indicates that POST detected a problem. Error messages

also appear during startup if POST detects a hardware-configura tion problem.

See “POST beep code descriptions” on page 30 and “POST error mes sages” on page 30 for more information.

• Troubleshooting chart

This chart lists problem symptoms, along with suggested steps to correct the problems. See the “Troubleshooting chart” on page 32 for more information.

• Event/error logs

The POST Error Log contains the three most recent error codes and messages that the system generated during POST. The System Event/Error Log contains all error messages issued during POST and all system status messages from the Netfinity Advanced System Management Processor.

To view the contents of the error logs, start the Configuration/Setup Utility program; then, select Event/Error Logs from the main menu.

Warranty Period* - Three Years

*Contact your place of purchase for warranty service information. Some IBM Machines are eligible for On-site warranty service depending on the country where service is performed.

The IBM Warranty for Machines

IBM warrants that each Machine 1) is free from defects in materials and workmanship and 2) conforms to IBM's Official Published Specifications. The warranty period for a Machine is a specified, fixed period commencing on its Date of Installation. The date on your sales receipt is the Date of Installation, unless IBM or your reseller informs you otherwise.

Page 52

40 IBM® xSeries 150: Ins ta llation Guide

During the warranty period IBM or your reseller, if approved by IBM to provide warranty service, will provide repair and exchange service for the Machine, without charge, under the type of service designated for the Machine and will manage and install engineering changes that apply to the Machine.

If a Machine does not function as warranted during the warranty period, and IBM or your reseller are unable to either 1) make it do so or 2) replace it with one that is at least functionally equivalent, yo u may return it to your place of purchase and your money will be refunded. The replacement may not be new, but will be in good working order.

Extent of Warranty

The warranty does not cover the repair or exchange of a Machine resul tin g from misuse, accident, modification, unsuitable physical or operating environment, improper maintenance by you, or failure caused by a product for which IBM is not responsible. The warranty is voided by removal or alteration of Machine or parts identification labels.

THESE WARRANTIES ARE YOUR EXCLUSIVE WARRANTIES AND REPLACE ALL OTHER WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THESE WARRANTIES GIVE YOU SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS AND YOU MAY ALSO HAVE OTHER RIGHTS WHICH VARY FROM JURISDICTION TO JURISDICTION. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO THE ABOVE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. IN THAT EVENT, SUCH WARRANTIES ARE LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE WARRANTY PERIOD. NO WARRANTIES APPLY AFTER THAT PERIOD.

Items Not Covered by Warranty

IBM does not warrant uninterrupted or error-free operation of a Machine. Unless specified otherwise, IBM provides non-IBM machines WITHOUT

WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND.
