Intel Server Management (ISM) Installation and User's Guide

Client SSU (CSSU) Details

NOTE If you plan to use any ISM Fault actions to power the system down you should pre-configure

Linux to auto-mount the USB Floppy. In cases where the event that caused the system to

power down have not been fixed or cleared, the system will automatically power down upon

reaching the OS. To allow you to recover from this the system will look for a file “LRA.NOT”

file on the fd0: drive. For details see “Avoiding a Power On/Off Loop” on page 43.

Overriding Power Off or Shutdown Actions

You can globally override power-off or shut-down actions while allowing other event actions

(paging, broadcast message, and so on) to take place. There are two ways:

• To override power-off or shut-down actions during installation of the ISM software, select a custom

installation and check Event notification only under the Platform Instrumentation feature in the feature

selection dialog. By default, the installation enables power-off or shut-down actions.

• If ISM has already been installed, use the following configuration instructions depending on the server

operating system.

a. Windows 2000/Windows 2003 - Set the NotificationOnly parameter in the

%ISMPATH%\bin\lra.cfg file to TRUE and reboot the server.

b. Linux - Set the NotificationOnly parameter in the /usr/local/ism/bin/lra.cfg file to TRUE

and reboot the server.

To reactivate the power-off or shut-down action, set the NotificationOnly parameter in the corresponding

file under each operating system described above to FALSE and reboot the server.

Configuring Third-Party Event Actions

On the Alert Actions tab, you can select actions to take place when a third-party component exceeds a

threshold or changes state. You can configure event actions for any of the following onboard third-party

components, if available on your server.

• Adaptec SCSI

• LSI Logic SCSI

• QLogic SCSI

• Promise IDE

• Intel LAN Adapter

To configure event actions for third-party indications:

1. On the PIC main window, click beside the third-party component name in the navigation pane.

2. Update the Alert Actions tab and change the event actions associated with a threshold type or state

change condition.

3. Click Apply to save your changes.

Table 4-5 lists event information for third-party component instrumentation supported by PIC.
