Use the Management Module or RSA II web interface

You can use the Remote Supervisor Adaptor II (RSA II) or Management Module web interface to do the following tasks:

• Change the service processor IP host name
• Manage certificates for the manual security setting on the service processor configuration
  • Perform a certificate signing request to obtain a certificate from a certificate authority such as Verisign.
  • Import the certificate into the service processor
• Configure static IP addresses
• Update RSA II firmware

Use the method in Initialize a service processor to change the user name and password or the Initialize NWS Configuration (INZNWSCFG) command with the *CHGSPAUT option. This will keep the i5/OS objects synchronized with the service processor's user name and password.

For information about using the web interface to the service processor, see the following links:

Connect to the an RSA II or IBM BladeCenter™ Management Module with a web browser

1. Optional: If you need to connect the browser to the RSA II through a router, first configure the RSA II's IP address using the BIOS interface.
2. First enter the RSA II or Management Module IP address or host name in the web browser's address (url) area.
3. A prompt for the RSA II or Management Module user name and password should be displayed. Enter the user name and password for the RSA II or Management Module. The RSA II or Management Module comes with a default user name of "USERID" and default password of "PASSW0RD" (0 = zero). The RSA II or Management Module factory defaults are set as follows:

   DHCP "Try DHCP. If it fails, use static IP config." Static IP address of 192.168.70.125. Note that this is a non-routable address. This means that you will not be able to connect a browser through a router to the RSA II or Management Module using this address. You might be able to connect a browser to the RSA II or Management Module with the default IP address through most (but not all) brands of switches, and most Ethernet hubs.

Once connected to the RSA II/Management Module's web interface the following tasks can be accomplished:

• Select "Network Interfaces" under ASM control. Enter the hostname. It is recommended to set the host name field to the nonqualified portion of the IP host name. The nonqualified IP host name consists of up to the first period of a fully qualified IP host name. For example, for the fully qualified IP host name asmcard1.us.company.com, the nonqualified IP host name is asmcard1.
• Select "Login Profiles" under ASM control to change user name and passwords. This is required for Manual security mode.
• Select "Firmware Update" under Tasks to update the RSA II or Management Module firmware to the latest level.
