View additional tasks to further customize the configuration of
your system.
By completing the initial server setup checklist, you have completed
the tasks necessary for your server to function and operate on the most basic
level. To further customize the configuration of your system, select any of
the following tasks:
- Creating
a virtual computing environment
- Simplify management and utilization of resources. When you create a virtual
computing environment, you consolidate the physical and logical resources
into a manageable virtual environment. This allows you to pool resources such
as memory, processors, networks, and storage into a single virtual environment.
- Accessing
the ASMI
- The Advanced System Management Interface (ASMI) is the interface to the
service processor that allows you to perform general and administrator-level
service tasks such as reading service processor error logs, reading vital
product data, setting up the service processor, and controlling the system
power. The ASMI might also be referred to as the service processor menus.
You can access the ASMI through a Web browser, the ASCII console, or the Hardware Management Console (HMC).
