Managing service processor configurations

Creating a service processor configuration
A service processor network server configuration (NWSCFG subtype SRVPRC) must be created for the service processor or Management Module of each System x or BladeCenter system that is used for an integrated server.

Creating a service processor configuration based on another one
You can copy an existing service processor network server configuration (NWSCFG subtype SRVPRC) when creating a new one. This saves time when some of the new service processor configuration attributes are the same or similar to the attributes of an existing service processor configuration.

Displaying service processor configuration properties
A service processor network server configuration (NWSCFG subtype SRVPRC) object contains configuration information for a service processor or Management Module of an System x or BladeCenter system that is used to run an iSCSI-attached integrated server.

Changing service processor configuration properties
A service processor network server configuration (NWSCFG subtype SRVPRC) object contains configuration information for a service processor of a System x or BladeCenter system that is used to run an integrated server.

Initializing a service processor
A service processor configuration (NWSCFG subtype SRVPRC) must be initialized with a user name and password before it can be used with an integrated server.

Deleting a service processor configuration
To delete a service processor configuration, follow these steps.

Launching the Web console for a service processor
Do these steps to launch the integrated server service processor Web console that is associated with an IBM i service processor configuration.

Converting pre-IBM i 7.1 service processor configurations to use an IP address or host name
Specify either the service processor IP address or host name in the service processor configuration properties.
