Service processor configuration
A service processor network server configuration (NWSCFG type SRVPRC) object
(shown in Figure 15) represents the xSeries® service
processor or the IBM® BladeCenter™ management module:
- It identifies the service processor or management module hardware by serial
number and type and model.
- It defines how to find the service processor or management module on the
Ethernet network using an internet address or host name.
- The service processor object can optionally contain values used to secure
the i5/OS™ to service processor communications.
Note:
For iSCSI attached xSeries servers, there is a one-to-one relationship
between the service processor object and the remote system configuration,
since each service processor controls only one xSeries server. However for iSCSI attached IBM BladeCenter servers, there can be a one-to-many relationship between
the service processor object and the remote system configuration, since each
management module can control any of the IBM BladeCenter servers that are contained within
the IBM BladeCenter chassis. Therefore, with iSCSI attached IBM BladeCenter servers it would be common for several remote system configurations
to share (refer to) the same service processor object.
