Configuring a modem on a P5
Hello.
I'm trying to configure a modem on an IBM p570 on the serial port. This is a partition machine so i want to be able to share it with partitionned servers.
On my VIOserver, what needs to be done exactly? I can see a vsa0 device but that is not the serial port i need from what i understand. How can i add the port to the Vioserver so that i can assign it to the partitionned servers afterwards?
Thanks.

Is there any difference between a null modem cable or a modem cable ?

detectups
DETECTUPS(8) System Manager's Manual DETECTUPS(8)
NAME
detectups - UPS detection/powerd configuration generator
SYNOPSIS
/sbin/detectups [tty]
DESCRIPTION
detectups monitors the serial port connected to an UPS device and will attempt to determine the method of UPS notification of power outage.
It will ask you to remove the power cord from the wall to the UPS, or push the UPS's test button. It will then determine what all has hap-
pened and ask to generate a config file based on your UPS and cable configuration. detectups needs to watch a tty with modem control prop-
erties. Please refer to the powerd documentation for further information.
ARGUMENTS
Serial-Device Some serial port that is not being used by some other device, and does not share an interrupt with any other serial port.
/etc/powerd.conf
FILES
/etc/powerd.conf powerd configuration file that detectups generates
/etc/inittab init is what actually issues the shutdown
SEE ALSO
powerd(8), shutdown(8), wall(1), inittab(5).
