Locally: Keyboard Controller Style (KCS)

This access method uses the IPMI/KCS interface. The IPMI driver must be installed; with some operating systems, the IPMI driver is installed by default. The ASU provides the corresponding mapping layer.

To update the UUID, in the ASU command-line interface, enter the following command:

asu set SYSTEM_PROD_DATA.SysInfoUUID uuid

where uuid is the user-assigned hexadecimal value, up to 16 bytes, that identifies the compute node.

To update the DMI/SMBIOS data, complete the following steps:

  1. In the ASU command-line interface, enter the following command:

    asu set SYSTEM_PROD_DATA.SysInfoProdName xxxxyyy

    Important: The default machine type and model number in the system-board firmware might not be the machine type and model number of the compute node. Make sure that you enter the correct machine type and model number.

    where:

    xxxx
    is the 4-digit machine type of the compute node.
    yyy
    is the 3-digit model number of the compute node.
  2. Enter the following command:

    asu set SYSTEM_PROD_DATA.SysInfoSerialNum zzzzzzz

    where zzzzzzz is the 7-character serial number of the compute node.

  3. Enter the following command:
    asu set SYSTEM_PROD_DATA.SysEncloseAssetTag aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

    where aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa is the 33-character asset tag number of the compute node.

  4. Restart the IMM.
  5. Restart the server.
