After you clicked 4 to select a console, you will see on the physical and on the
SOL console a message notifying you that you have to enter 0 or 1 depending on
the console you use. Figure A-10 on page 507 shows the message on an SOL
console and Figure A-9 on page 506 shows the message on the physical
console. Switch to the console you want to activate and enter the number as
shown on this console. Either use 0 or 1. This console will be the next active
console. If you choose to do nothing, the system will revert back to the original
setting.
All other options are similar to other blades with Power CPU or System p servers.
Open Firmware interface
The Open Firmware prompt is a powerful interface into the system firmware of
the JS23/JS43. Open Firmware is described in the IEEE 1275 standard. More
general information about Open Firmware can be found at:
http://www.firmworks.com
The implementation of Open Firmware that is used by IBM on the JS23/JS43 to
build the system firmware may have its own extensions and may also not
implement each feature or function. The information on this page may not apply
fully to the IBM BladeCenter JS23/JS43.
In certain situations it is helpful to use the Open Firmware prompt to change
system settings or help troubleshoot problems. Also, the SMS menu is
considered the main configuration interface. A few commands will be explained
that help getting SAN booted with QLogic and Emulex host bus adapters
configured. The commands can be used to perform the following tasks:
1. Identify FCode and firmware level.
