PWRVPD
Use ASMI to set the configuration ID and MTMS value.
To perform this operation, verify that the following prerequisites have been met:
- The server must be powered on to firmware standby or firmware running state.
- The expansion unit must be correctly installed in the system configuration and have ac power.
- Your authority level must be one of the following levels:
- Administrator
- Authorized service provider
- Login in to the Advanced System Management Interface (ASMI).
- Expand System Configuration.
- Select Configure I/O Enclosures.
- Select Clear inactive enclosures.
- If you were directed here from a FRU replacement procedure, the
FRU that was replaced contained non-volatile storage where information
about the expansion unit's machine type-model-serial (MTMS) was stored.
It is necessary to restore the expansion unit's MTMS now. It might
also be necessary to set or change the expansion unit's configuration
ID (power control network identifier).
The non-volatile storage in which the expansion unit's MTMS value is stored in a new replacement FRU is uninitialized. When power is first applied, the system detects the uninitialized value and assigns an obvious, temporary unique value of the form TMP x.xxx.xxxxxxx, where x can be any character 0-9 and A-Z. As a result, the initial location code of the expansion unit is set to UTMP x.xxx.xxxxxxx. To perform power off procedures or to change settings for an expansion unit that contains uninitialized non-volatile storage, you must first use the new UTMP x.xxx.xxxxxxx location code (see the list below) when selecting the expansion unit in the ASMI menus.
Note:- Do not remove the ac power cord after powering off the expansion unit.
- If the expansion unit does not does not immediately appear on the service utility used to power off the expansion unit, refresh the utility periodically for up to 10 minutes until it does. If it still does not appear, return to step 1 and repeat this procedure.
- If you were directed here from a replacement procedure, remember to use the new UTMP x.xxx.xxxxxxx location code when selecting the expansion unit to power off.
- If you were instructed by the procedure that sent you here when you were powering off the expansion unit to use panel function 69 to power on the expansion unit, perform panel function 69 now (with the control panel set to manual mode) from the system unit control panel (even though the expansion unit is already on).
- From the ASMI utility, expand System Configuration.
- Select Configure I/O Enclosures.
- Compare the power control network identifier
value shown for the expansion unit you are working with to the power
control network identifier (configuration ID) values in the following
list. Compare the type-model and serial number values shown for the
expansion unit you are working with to the type, model, and serial
values on the label on the expansion unit. If any changes must be
made, go to step 9. Otherwise
go to step 21.Note: Serial numbers are case sensitive. (All alpha characters contained in the serial number must be entered as a capital letter.)
- 8D for the 7314-G30 expansion units.
- If the server is powered on to firmware running state, go to the next step. If the server is powered on to firmware standby state go to step 11.
- See the following note, then see Powering off an expansion unit. Then continue with step
11. Note:
- Do not disconnect the ac power cables after powering off the expansion unit.
- If the expansion unit does not immediately appear on the service utility used to power off the expansion unit, refresh the utility periodically for up to 10 minutes until it does. If it still does not appear, go step 1 and repeat this procedure.
- Remember to use the new UTMP x.xxx.xxxxxxx location code when selecting the expansion unit to power off if you were directed here from a replacement procedure.
- If you were instructed by the procedure that sent you here when you were powering off the expansion unit to use panel function 69 to power on the expansion unit, perform panel function 69 now (with the control panel set to manual mode) from the system unit control panel (even though the expansion unit is already on).
- From the ASMI utility, expand System Configuration.
- Select Configure I/O Enclosure.
- Select the expansion unit with which you are working.
- Select Change settings.
- If in step 8 you determined that the power control network identifier value is not correct, enter the correct value now.
- If in step 8 you determined
that the type-model and serial number values are not correct, enter
the correct values now.Note: Serial numbers are case sensitive. (All alpha characters contained in the serial number must be entered as a capital letter.)
- Click Save settings to complete the operation
- Verify that the values you just entered are reflected in the power
control network identifier, type-model, serial number, and location
code columns for the expansion unit with which you are working. Do
not use the browser back button to do this. Rather, expand System
Configuration. Then select Configure I/O Enclosures. Note: Serial numbers are case sensitive. All alpha characters contained in the serial number must be entered as a capital letter.
- If the server is powered on to firmware standby state and you entered a new power control network identifier in step 15, the expansion unit will power off and back on automatically. If this is the case, go to step 21. Otherwise go to the next step.
- Power on the expansion unit.
- If the system is not managed by a management console, disconnect all ac power to the expansion unit by disconnecting the ac cables from the power supplies on the expansion unit. Wait for the display panel to go off, and then reconnect the ac power cables. The expansion unit will power on automatically.
- If the system is managed by a management console, power on the expansion unit by using the Power On/Off unit utility. If the values you just entered are not immediately reflected in the location code of the expansion unit in the Power On/Off unit utility, restart the utility periodically for up to 10 minutes until the values you entered are reflected. For information about powering on an expansion unit, see Powering on an expansion unit. Then continue with the next step.
- Log off and close ASMI.
- Return to the procedure that sent you here.
