Netfinity Advanced System Management Device Driver Diskette version 1.12 CONTENTS -------- 1.0 Overview 2.0 Change History 3.0 System Management Device Driver installation instructions 4.0 Stopping the Netfinity Manager application program 5.0 Trademarks and Notices 6.0 Disclaimer 1.0 Overview ------------- This diskette contains device drivers for both the Netfinity Advanced System Management PCI Adapter card and the Netfinity Advanced System Management Processor hardware, which is built into the planar of some Netfinity Servers. 2.0 Change History ------------------- 2.1 Netfinity Advanced System Management Device Driver version 1.11 to 1.12 For Netfinity Server models 5000, 5500, 5500-M10, 5500-M20, 5600 running Windows 2000: The service processor device driver was unable to interface with the systems management device upon return from a state of hibernation. Alert notifications being sent to the host were not being received by the service processor device driver. 2.2 Netfinity Advanced System Management Device Driver version 1.10 to 1.11 For Netfinity Server models 5000, 5500, 5500-M10, 5500-M20, or 5600 running SCO/Unixware: Fixed a bug regarding improper handling of data passed back to Netfinity Manager whenever multiple alerts are generated. If this new driver is not installed, there is a possibility that a kernel panic may occur. 2.3 Netfinity Advanced System Management Device Driver version 1.00 to 1.10 For Netfinity Server models 5000, 5500, 5500-M10, 5500-M20 or 5600 running OS/2 or Novell NetWare: The service processor device driver interrupt handler has been improved for these two operating systems. The service processor device drivers are loaded shortly after an operating system boots up, and there may be an opportunity for spurious interrupts to occur before the driver and service processor hardware are fully initialized. To better handle the rare occurrences of these interrupts, improvements have been made to the initialization piece of the NetWare and OS/2 service processor drivers. For Netfinity Server models 5000, 5500, 5500-M10, 5500-M20, 5600, 7000-M10 or 8500R Windows 2000: Service processor device drivers have been added to support Windows 2000. Please refer to the installation instructions below for installing these drivers on Windows 2000. 3.0 System Management Device Driver installation instructions -------------------------------------------------------------- Note: The Netfinity Manager application program must be stopped before any of these service processor device drivers can be installed. Please refer to the section 4.0 of this document for instructions on how to stop the Netfinity Manager program. By following the installation instructions shown below, the correct System Management Device Driver will be automatically installed onto your Netfinity Server. If the installation is being done from this diskette, insert this diskette into the server's floppy diskette drive, bring up a command prompt window, screen, or session, and enter one of the following commands. The examples shown below assume the floppy drive is A:. If the installation is being done from the Advanced Systems Management Utilities CD-ROM, insert this CD-ROM into the server's CD-ROM drive, bring up a command prompt window, screen, or session, and enter one of the following commands. The examples shown below assume the CD ROM drive is D:. For OS/2, type: A:\OS2\SETUP (if installation is from a diskette) or D:\DD\OS2\SETUP (if installation is from a CD-ROM) Follow the directions that appear on the screen For Windows 2000: For the following list of servers with the Netfinity Advanced System Management Processor hardware, correct driver installation will require that Windows 2000 be installed after ensuring that the system BIOS is at the following level or higher: Netfinity 5000: 1.08 Netfinity 5500: 1.10 Netfinity 5500 M10: 1.10 Netfinity 5500 M20: 1.03 If a BIOS update is required, use the latest BIOS image files and instructions for installation, which can be found at http://www.pc.ibm.com/support. The Windows 2000 System Management Driver files are included on the ServerGuide installation CDs for Windows 2000 and will be installed automatically when Windows 2000 is installed. Installation from the install diskette will only be required if Windows 2000 is installed without using ServerGuide, or if the System Management Driver is manually uninstalled. For installation under Windows 2000, you can choose from one of the following two methods. 1 The following set of instructions apply if you use the automatic initiation of the "Hardware Wizard" by Windows. * Click "Next" on the "Found New Hardware Wizard" screen. * The hardware will automatically be detected as an "Unknown" device for the Netfinity Advanced System Management Processor, or "Other PCI bridge device" for the Netfinity Advanced System Management PCI Adapter hardware. * Select "Search for a suitable driver for my device" and click "Next". * Insert the floppy drive / CD-ROM and check the appropriate medium (floppy / CD) on the screen. Click "Next" to continue. * Hardware wizard will find the matching driver for your hardware (asmpa.inf or asmp.inf). * Follow instructions on screen until the "Finish" message appears. Click "Finish" to complete the installation of the driver. 2 The following set of instructions apply when you choose to either update the driver, or install the driver manually. * Open the "Device Manager". This may be done by right clicking on the "My Computer" icon on the desktop, selecting "Properties", and then selecting "Device Manager". * In the "System Devices", look for an "Unknown" device or "Other PCI bridge device". The hardware has automatically been detected as an "Unknown" device for the Netfinity Advanced System Management Processor, or "Other PCI bridge device" for the Netfinity Advanced System Management PCI Adapter hardware. The driver must be installed for this detected device. * Highlight the appropriate device and right click to select "Properties". Click on the "Driver" tab, and select "Update Driver". * Select "Search for a suitable driver for my device" and click "Next". * Insert the floppy drive / CD-ROM and check the appropriate medium (floppy / CD) on the screen. Click "Next" to continue. * Hardware wizard will find the matching driver for your hardware (asmpa.inf or asmp.inf). * Follow instructions on screen until the "Finish" message appears. Click "Finish" to complete the installation of the driver. For Windows NT 4: There are 2 methods you can choose from when installing the Windows NT 4 System Management Drivers. 1 The unattended method will install the drivers and accept default values for any screen prompts that would otherwise appear. The user will be prompted if an error occurs during installation. For unattended installation type: A:\NT\SETUP -q (if installation is from a diskette) or D:\DD\NT\SETUP -q (if installation is from a CD ROM) Follow the directions that appear on the screen 2 The normal method will prompt the user with instructions and wait for the user to answer before continuing with the installation. For normal installation type: A:\NT\SETUP (if installation is from a diskette) or D:\DD\NT\SETUP (if installation is from a CD ROM) Follow the directions that appear on the screen For Novell NetWare type: LOAD A:\NETWARE\SETUP (if installation is from a diskette) or LOAD D:\DD\NETWARE\SETUP (if installation is from a CD ROM) Follow the directions that appear on the screen For SCO/UnixWare: There are two methods you can choose from when installing the SCO/UnixWare System Management Drivers. 1 Using SCO/UnixWare's package utility: Launch the scoadmin software installer. Click to view the diskette or CD ROM (for example DISK_A or CD-ROM_1) and then install the package that gets displayed. 2 From a command prompt : pkgadd -d diskette1 (if installation is from a diskette) or pkgadd -d cdrom1 (if installation is from a CD ROM) Follow the directions that appear on the screen 4.0 Stopping the Netfinity Manager application program ------------------------------------------------------- If the Netfinity Manager application program is already running on your Netfinity Server it must be stopped prior to installing any of these device drivers. The following examples show how to do this. For NT and OS/2: Close any open Netfinity windows. Then at the command prompt type NETFBASE SHUTDOWN For NetWare: Unload the Netfinity Support Program.
