3. Select the appliance in the left pane and click Start Web Management. An initial configuration page opens.

4. Complete the initial configuration of the appliance using the wizard. The appliance server restarts.

Setting the initial IP address using a diskette

To set the initial IP address using a diskette, do the following:

1. Format a diskette using a computer running DOS or Microsoft

Windows®, or

create a DOS file system on the diskette if using some other computer.

2. Create a file in the root directory of the diskette called initsys.ini with an initial configuration file containing the new IP address of the appliance.

The diskette can contain the following information:

• Initial IP address

• Host name of the appliance

• IP address of gateway device (default route)

• Network mask

• IP address of primary DNS name server

• System password

The following is an example configuration file:

IPaddress=10.1.1.1 Subnet=255.255.255.0 GatewayAddress=9.27.67.1

The configuration file contains only 7-bit standard ASCII characters. Lines beginning with # are treated as comments. All white space is ignored. Keywords can appear in any order, and the keyword names are case-sensitive.

The following keywords are available:

Keyword Purpose Default value

IPaddress Initial IP address NetworkMask Network mask HostName Fully-qualified host name GatewayAddress IP address of gateway device NameServerAddress IP address of primary DNS

name server

Password System password existing system password

Chapter 2. Installing and cablin g the applianc e server 9

Notes:

a. The only required parameter in the initial configuration file is the initial IP

address. The system password paramete r default is password.

b. If any parameters other than the initial IP address are not specified, the

administrator must use the initial con figuration wizard that is provided by the Appliance System Manager to complete the initial configuration of the appliance. Any values that are supplied in the file are automatically filled in by the wizard, so that you do not have to type them again.

3. Insert the diskette into the appliance and turn on the appliance.

Note: The diskette must be in the appliance when the appliance starts for the

contents of the diskette to be read.

Changing default passwords

Passwords on new appliances are set to password. To change the passwords, do the following:

• If the root password has not been changed in the initial configuration page, click

Security/System Password in Appliance System Manager, and change the password.

• The default user is webroot with a pass wor d of password. Click Security/Manage Users in Appliance System Manager, and change the default user password.

• The default Appl iance Sy stem Manager adminis trator I D is administrator with a password of password. Click Security/Manage Administrators/Edit Administrator in Appliance System Manager, and change the administrator user password.

For greater security, create an Appliance System Manager administrator with a different user ID and password. Then, delete the original administrator user ID.

Do not delete the original administrator ID until you have created a new administrator ID that is valid.

Chapter 4. Appliance configuration programs

Your IBM xSeries 135 comes with programs that you can use to configure, manage, and maintain your appliance server. These configuration programs include:

• Appliance System Manager

Appliance System Manager enables the creation of software administrative services that enable the delivery of solutions in a remotely managed , unattended, closed hardware server. The main functions of this software are as follows:

— The ability to remotely manage the appliance through the World Wide Web — Web server — Encryption software for use by the web server (for HTTP-S sessions) — Software services for discovering and configuring new appliances ( IBM

Advanced Appliance Configuration Utility)

• IBM Advanced Appliance Configuration Utility

The Advanced Appliance Configuration Utility aids in setting up and reconfiguring the network configuration o n your appliance server. 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. When the appliance server is detected by the Advanced Appliance Configuration Utility console, use the Advanced Appliance Configuration Utility to set up and manage the network configuration o f the appliance network configuration, including assigning the IP add ress, defa ult gateway, network mask, and DNS server to be used by the appliance.

Information about each of these appliance configuration programs follows.

Accessing Appliance System Manager

Appliance System Manager is a program that you can use to configure and manage the resources of the IBM xSeries 135 appliance server. For more information about this application program, see the Appliance System Manager Administration Guide.

Appliance System Manager is accessed through a Web browser on a computer that has network access to the appliance server. A system administrator can use Appliance System Manager to change system settings and other configuration settings for the appliance.

To access Appliance System Manager, do the following:

1. Open a browser on a computer that has network access to the appliance server.

2. Go to https://appliance_IP_address:1999 where appliance_IP_adress is the IP address of the appliance. The appliance main page appears.

3. Click Administration.

4. Click Appliance.

5. Accept the new site certificate when prompted.

6. When prompted, type administrator for the user name and password for the password. In the ASM Main Page , you can perform configuration tasks. See the

16 IBM xSeries 135 Appliance Server: Installation Guide

Appliance System Mana ger Administration Guide for more information ab out configuring the appliance.

Putting the initial Web page on the appliance

Do the following to change the home Web page of the appliance:

1. Create a new HTML file on another computer.

2. Use a file transfer protocol (FTP) command or program to store the file on the appliance server hard disk drive using userid webroot and password password. See the documentation that applies to the FTP tool that you are using for detailed instructions.

3. Name the file index.html.

For more information about putting Web pages on the appliance, see the Appliance System Manager Admi nistration Guide.

SSL certificates

When accessing Appliance System Manager using SSL (http-s), it is normal for your browser to issue a warning that the certificate of the server is not signed by a trusted authority.

Browsers issue this warning to notify you that no trusted third party has verified the identity of the server to which you are connecting.

Your communications with Appliance System Manag e r are still encrypted and protected from eavesdropping when you uses http-s URLs.

IBM Advanced Appliance Configuration Utility

You can use the IBM Advanced Appliance Configuration Utility to set up a nd reconfigure the network configuration on your xSeries appliance server. The IBM Advanced Appliance Configuration Utility agent, which is preinstalled on your IBM xSeries appliance server, works with the Advanced Appliance Configuration Utility

console, a Java

™

-based application that is installed on a network-attached system that will be used as a systems-management console that enables automatic d e tection of appliance servers on the network. After the Advan ced Configuration Utility console detects the appliance server, use the Advanced Appliance Configuration Utility to set up and manage the network configuration f or th e appliance, including assigning the IP address, default gateway, network mask, and DNS server to be used by the appliance. You also can use the Advanced Appliance Configuration Utility to start Appliance System Manager on the appliance server, enabling you to perform more advanced systems-management tasks.

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 1 controller. Be sure to connect the built-in Ethernet 1 connector to the same phy sical network as your systems-management console.

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

3. The system that is 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

Chapter 4. Appliance configuration programs 17

families. However, the Advanced Appliance Configuration Utility will discover connected appliances and their network settings.

The Advanced Appliance Configuration Utility agent

After your appliance is connected to your network, the Advanced Appliance Configuration Utility agent automatically reports the appliance MAC address (of the first NIC only), serial number, and type of appliance. Furthermore, it will report the host name, primary IP address, subnet ma sk, primary DNS address, and primary gateway address if these are configured 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 br oadcasting this data periodically, stop the Advanced Appliance Configuration Utility 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 to 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 24.

Note: Do not install the Advanced Appliance Configuration Utility console on more

than one systems-management console.

The Advanced Appliance Configuration Utility console enables you to:

• Automatically discover appliance servers that run the Adva nced Appliance Configuration Utility agent and are attached to the same physical subnet as the Advanced Appliance Configuration 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 addresses, subnet masks, host names, and more.

• Automatically group discovered appliances into funct ion-specific families. Appliances are added to a family based on the appliance type. Appliances

running different operating systems but performing the same function appear in the same family.

• Start Appliance System Manager mana gement console. Launch Appliance System Manager on your appliance server and perform

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

18 IBM xSeries 135 Appliance Server: Installation Guide

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

• The Tree View pane The Tree View pane on the left side of the Advanced Appliance Configuration

Utility console window presents a list of a ll d iscovered 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 have IP addresses that conflict with other devices on your network. When you click any item in the Tree Vi ew, information about the item (and any items that are nested below that item in the tree view) appears in the Information pane.

• The Information p ane The Information Pane at the right side of the Advanced Appliance

Configuration Utility console window displays 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, host name, serial number, and so on) 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 Applian ce Conf igurat ion Ut ilit y consol e als o has the fo llowi ng men us:

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

Advanced Appliance Configuration Utility console configuration data, to rescan the network, or to exit from 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 pane.

• Appliance Use the selections available from 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.

Chapter 4. Appliance configuration programs 19

Discovering IBM xSeries appliances

Any IBM xSeries appliance server that is running and is connected to the same subnet as the system running the Advanced Appliance Configuration Utility con sole 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 pane (in the left pane of the Advanced Appliance Configuration Utility console window). Each appliance appears in tw o locations in the tree view:

• In the tree view under All Appliances.

• In one of the following portions of the tree view: — In a family

If the discovered appliance fits the requirements of a family, it automatically appears 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 group.

— In the Orphaned Externally Configured Appliances group

Appliances that are running the Advanced Appliance Configuration Utility agent but have a network configuration tha t was not set by the Advanced Appliance Configuration Utility agent or console 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 functio n to add it to a previously defined family. For more information, see “Using the Adop t by First Matching Family function” on page 22.

Using families and groups in the tree view

Families specify the parameters that the Advanced Appliance Configuration Utility uses to automatically categorize discovered appliances and to configure 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 network 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 network settings. A family 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 subn e t mask). Host names for disco v ered 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, you can configure netw ork settings using Appliance System Manager or by attaching a keyboard and mouse to the appliance and using a Linux command line or other configuration utility 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

20 IBM xSeries 135 Appliance Server: Installation Guide

exists. Appliances that have been configured using a method other than the Advanced Appliance Configuration Utility and for which no appropriate family exists will appear in the Orphaned Externally Configured Appliances group.

The Tree View pane contains the following items:

• All Appliances

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

• 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. Since families are defined by appliance purpose, 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 appliance server from a family in the Tree View pane, the selected appliance network settings are displayed in the Information pane.

The Advanced Appliance Configuration U tility automatically assigns one IP address within the range that is defined in the family rules per appliance server. When a family IP address range has been exhausted, the Advanced Appliance Configuration Utility automatically searches for other families that have rules matching the appliance server that is being conf igured. If a matching family with an available address is found, the server will autom atically be assigned to the family that has available IP addresses. This enables you to define multiple families, each of which uses a range of nonco ntiguous IP address ranges.

When an appliance is discovered on the network, the Advanced Appliance Configuration Utility automatically searches all previously defined families, starting with the first family that is 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 a family and then click 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 match 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 the

Advanced Appliance Configuration U tility tool and does not meet the rules for any existing family is automa tically added to the Orphaned Externally Configured Appliances group. Appliance servers that are configured without the Advanced Appliance Configuration Utility and meet the rules for any existing family are automatically added to the matching fami ly. To add an Orphaned Externally configured Appliance to a n a ppropriate family that was created after the orphaned appliance was discovered, right-click the orphaned appliance and click Adopt by First Matching Family. For more information, see “Using the Adopt by First Matching Family function” on page 22.

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 place that appliance server into that family but wi ll not change any other settings (such as Host Name or DNS or gateway addresses).

Chapter 4. Appliance configuration programs 21

• 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. Click Create Family from the Family menu.

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

4. Assign network resources for members of the 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 the 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.

Removing Appliances from families

Use the Remove Appliance choice to delete an appliance from the Advanced Appliance Configuration Utility console database. Removing an appliance that is no longer in use enables 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 the appliance, and then click 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 immed iately.

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

22 IBM xSeries 135 Appliance Server: Installation Guide

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 the orphaned appliance and click 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 anothe r 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 the family to which you want to move the appliance.

2. Click Move Up in List to move the selected family up in the list of f am ilies.

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 the appliance tha t you wa nt to move to another family, and then

click Adopt by First Matching Family.

Chapter 5. Using the Recovery and Supplementary CDs

This chapter describes the applications that are included on the IBM xSeries 135 Supplementary and Recovery CDs an d information about how and when you should

use them.

Using the recovery enablement diskette and Recovery CD

The Recovery CD is a startable CD that you can use to recover the preinstalled programs on your IBM xSeries 135 appliance server. You must start your server using a recovery enablement diskette in order to use the Recovery CD. You can create a recovery enablement diskette using a utility on the Supplementary CD .

To create a recovery enablement diskette, do the following:

1. Insert the Supplementary CD into the CD-ROM drive of a remote computer running Microsoft Windows 98, Windows NT, or Windows 2000.

2. Run \Recovery_Enablement_Disk\DiskCreator.exe.

3. Choose either Reload or Reformat. The Reload option restores your appliance to its original configuration an d leaves the data partition (/home) untouched. The Reformat option erases all data on the hard disk of the appliance and makes no attempt to save any informatio n in any partition of the disk.

4. Select either to use a new diskette or an existing diskette. A warning message appears. Click Yes or No.

5. Click Agree at the license agreement.

You can reinstall the software using the Recovery CD. The Recovery CD must be accompanied by a recovery enablement diskette.

To recover the preinstalled programs on your server:

1. Insert the recovery enablement diskette into the diskette drive and the Recovery CD in the CD-ROM drive and restart the server. The recovery process begins automatically and the preinstalled programs are restored with the original settings and configuration. After the preinstalled programs are restored, the system restarts automatically, and all final operating system configuration changes are performed.

2. After the software reinstalls, the Recovery CD ejects and the appliance restarts using the initial software and conf iguration.

3. Perform the initial setup procedures that are required to configure the appliance. See “Setting the initial Internet protocol (IP) address” on page 6.

The recovery enablement diskette enables the IBM xSeries 135 appliance server to start from the CD-ROM drive. You will not be able to restore the preinstalled programs from the Recovery CD without restarting the server using the recovery enablement diskette.

Important

Diagnostic tools overview

If you are unable to connect to your appliance, first confirm that the problem is not being caused by a network connectivity issue. When 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-configuration problem.

See “POST beep code descriptions” on page 26 and “POST error messages” on page 26 for more information.

• Troubleshooting chart This chart lists problem symptoms, along with suggested steps to correct the

problems. See the “Troubleshooting chart” on page 28 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.

• Diagnostic programs and error messages The server diagnostic programs are stored in upgradable read-only memory

(ROM) on the system board. These programs are the primary method of testing the major components of your server.

The amount of memory displayed is less than the amount of memory installed.

Verify that:

• The memory modules are seated properly.

• You have installed the correct type of memory.

• If you changed the memory, you updated the memory configuration with the

Configuration/Setup Utility program.

• All banks of memory on the DIMMs are enabled. The server might have automatically disabled a DIMM bank when it detected a problem or a DIMM bank could have been manually disabled.

If the above items are correct, run the memory diagnostic program. The system might have detected a bad memory module and automatically reallocated memory to enable you to continue to operate. If the memory tests fail, call for service or replace the failing DIMM.

Option problems Suggested action

An IBM option that was just installed does not work.

Verify that:

• The option is designed for the server. Refer to the "Support for IBM xSeries Servers" flowchart for information about obtaining ServerProven™ compatibility information from the World Wide Web.

• You followed the installation instructions that came with the option.

• The option is installed correctly.

• You have not loosened any other installed options or cables.

• You updated the configuration information in the Configuration/Setup

Utility program. Whenever memory or an option is changed, you must update the configuration.

If the problem remains, call for service.

Expansion enclosure problems Suggested action

30 IBM xSeries 135 Appliance Server: Installation Guide

The SCSI expansion enclosure used to work, but does not work now.

Verify that:

• The cables for all external SCSI options are connected correctly.

• The last option in each SCSI chain, or the end of the SCSI cable, is terminated

correctly.

• An y external SCSI option is turned on. You must turn on an external SCSI option before turning on the server.
