284 Logical Partitions on System i5

10.1 ASMI introduction

All System i5 systems would use an ASMI to communicate with the service processor. The

ASMI function provides much of the same function that had been provided in OS/400

DST/SST in all previous releases before i5OS V5R3.

Most System i5 systems would also typically be controlled using the Hardware Management

Console (HMC) introduced in Chapter 3. Any server that would be divided into a

multi-partitioned environment would require the HMC to create and maintain the LPAR

environment. So you would most likely continue to use the HMC for ongoing service

processor management tasks.

However, not all System i5 systems are required to have an HMC for daily operation and

control. One example would be a system with only a single system image (a non-LPAR’d

system). This might be the case with a smaller, less powerful standalone or non-rack

mounted model of the System i5 family. In this situation you could control the management of

the system solely with the ASMI function.

However, using the HMC as the primary console for controlling the system does not

necessarily exclude using the ASMI as a secondary console. The two can be used on the

same system concurrently. When used in this manner, the HMC will have control over most

system management functions, and the ASMI will control a reduced set of functions.

10.2 ASMI concepts and initial setup

The main functions of the ASMI are to perform service functions and various system

management functions. Some of the servicing functions that were previously in the iSeries

service tools will now be performed by the ASMI.

10.2.1 Types of ASMI

There are three methods to provide the access to the ASMI:

򐂰 Access via a Web browser

򐂰 Access via an ASCII console

򐂰 Access via the HMC

In this book we have chosen the method of using a Web browser to access ASMI.

10.2.2 Initial setup of terminal interface to ASMI

For details on the setup of the terminal interface to ASMI, please refer to the book, Accessing

the Advanced System Management Interface. There you will be provided details of the

hardware and software requirements for your terminal or personal computer as well as the

actual setup of the three access methods:

Tip: If you connected your PC or mobile computer directly to the first service

processor port HMC1, you can access ASMI with your Web browser by typing

https://192.168.2.147. If you are connected to service processor port HMC2, you can

use https://192.168.3.147. These are the factory default settings and could, however,

have been changed on your system.
