Sorry, I managed to do it once, but this is sooo long ago.
I remember had to visit the HP support Web, but my URL is outdated.
Maybe the following note is helpful:
If boot config is lost:

Diag -> Task Selection -> RAID Array Manager -> IBM SAS Disk Array Manager -> Create a SAS Disk Array -> sissas0 -> RAID 0 -> select a pdisk, if you see any, and make a hdisk from it. Then try to...

From the Diag utility, I'd expect to see devices behind your SAS RAID controller that look something like:

pdisk0 & pdisk1 - for the 2 physical disks.... in 2 slot locations ranging from P2-D1...

Looks like VIO Server is off the table for now. As installed, your m/c doesn't support it. The next 3 items would be "True" if your m/c was ordered with Feature Code # EC22 & entitled to VIOS...

Going to the redpaper listed earlier - I saw also:



As the first thing that needs verification - are the disks visible to anything, or perhaps broken (so also using the diagnostics DVD is...

That's interesting, I suspect it means the AIX Diagnostic CD is supported:
AIX Diagnostics CD (https://www-304.ibm.com/webapp/set2/sas/f/diags/download/home.html)

That should give you boot media...

as far as I can see here (http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/linuxonibm/liaam/liaambmetalfeatures.htm?lang=en), the only two versions of Linux, which are supported in bare metal mode on...

My knowledge of the "L" series is next to nil, but perhaps the S812L IBM Redbook will help provide some answers --> http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redpapers/pdfs/redp5098.pdf

Page 78 lists the...

So, I got it backwards - need 7.1 to do anything with POWER8.

Are you doing a "bare metal" install? That may be why you are having a problem and I have not (up through Power6 and Power7).

For...

Try a different version of Redhat - 6.X level. From a faint discussion some time back, I recall RedHat 7.X requires a higher level of POWER firmware than some early systems came with.

As you said...

hmm, everything is menu-driven there. I do not know off the top of my head which menu to go for an inventory, so you will have to wait until Monday, when i get a chance to look at a real system, not...

Yes, there is. Use one of the ports labelled "HMC", they are called "Service processor ports". (A service processor is similar to a ILO board.) There you can connect to the systems ASMI (the closest...

This is as it should be. The "L" in S812L means the system is sold without a license for AIX and its microcode (that is firmware in IBM-speak) will deny running AIX. You can run anything you might...

1. what do you mean "it does not recognize the hard drive and Ethernet card"? Can you show an error, or what happens, when you try to boot up the server?

2. you don't need an HMC, if you have only...

Actually, cable problems are not product related. I used to solder my own - still have cable and various 9 and 25 pin plugs for making them.

Once properly cabled systems that can be started via...

No, serial port 0 (or 1, whatever the lowest number is).

The A/B/C/D - just leave at default. That has particular meaning for IBM i (aka i5 or OS/400). It says which whether to boot from permanent...

VET - that is to activate the Virtualization Features.
POD - to activate processors. I am not a hw guy, but as I understand it, A Model 9131-52a does not have dynamic activation of the processors....

it prepended https://www.unix.com/ (https://www.unix.com) to the URL. Thanks for pointing this out.

And great that you found in on Youtube, that is where it is stored.

So, also available via: p5...

How did you install AIX (or VIOS)? If you can answer that question for me I should be able to come up with some suggestions.

The SMS menu is only active on serial port when system is in powerdown (i.e., only the service processor is running).

In other words, once you power on you wont see the ASMI menu (for long) on the...

I have never used to front panel serial port. Use the one in the back. Speed is 19200 baud, not 9600.

The amber light means "something happened", e.g., the power cord was pulled before it was...

did you find the two settings in about:config and set those to true?
p.s. ff12 should have worked, but there have been issues, especially with the HMC since FF4 was released. (sigh)

What browser are you using? The connection to the ASMI port, when not using an HMC as proxy must be using so-called "low-grade" https (aka 40-bit encryption). This is a known issue with Power5, but...

Hello,
Have you try other ASMI port (HMC2)? Default address is 192.168.3.147...
Good luck.
