Checking the Server
Check the server in the sequence shown in Figure 5-25. The method to be used depends on the actual situation.
For details about the commands involved in the operations, see the Atlas 800 Inference Server iBMC User Guide (Model 3000).
Procedure
- Check indicator status.
Ensure that hardware devices are working correctly.
For details, see Indicators and Buttons on the Front Panel and Indicators on the Rear Panel.
- Check the server.
- Check the server by using the iBMC WebUI.
- Log in to the iBMC over the WebUI. For details, see Logging In to the iBMC WebUI.
You are advised to change the initial password when logging in to the iBMC for the first time. For details, see Changing Initial Passwords.
- Check the server firmware version.
- If the iBMC version is V549 or earlier, choose System > Firmware Upgrade. The page shown in Figure 5-26 is displayed.
- If the iBMC version is V561 or later, choose iBMC Settings > Firmware Upgrade. The page shown in Figure 5-27 is displayed.
- Check the health status of the server.
- If the iBMC version is V549 or earlier, choose Information > Overview. The page shown in Figure 5-28 is displayed.
- If the iBMC version is V561 or later, view Alarm Statistics on the Home page, as shown in Figure 5-29.
- Clear any alarms if present. For details, see the Atlas 800 Inference Server iBMC Alarm Handling (Model 3000).
- Log in to the iBMC over the WebUI. For details, see Logging In to the iBMC WebUI.
- Check the server using the iBMC CLI.
- Set an IP address for the PC, and ensure that the IP address is on the same network segment as the iBMC management network port.
- Connect the network port on a PC to the iBMC management network port of the server using a network cable.
- Start a Secure Shell (SSH, PuTTY) tool on the PC and log in with the IP address of the iBMC management network port and iBMC user name and password.
By default, SSH is used to log in to iBMC. If the SSH service is disabled, enable it by choosing Services > Port Services on the iBMC WebUI.
- Run the ipmcget -d ver command to view the server version. Check that the server version meets site requirements.
