Setting the system identifiers

Set the system-unique ID, system serial number, machine type, and machine model.

You can set the system-unique ID, serial number, machine type, and machine model. If you do not know the system-unique ID, contact your next level of support.

To perform this operation, your authority level must be one of the following:

Administrator
Authorized service provider

Note:

You cannot boot the system until valid values are entered for all fields. You can change these entries only once.

To set the system keywords, do the following:

On the ASMI Welcome pane, specify your user ID and password, and click Log In.
In the navigation area, expand System Configuration and Program Vital Product Data.
Select System Keywords.
In the right pane, enter the desired values for the system serial number, machine type, and machine model using the naming convention shown in the ASMI help. Set the Reserved field to blank spaces unless directed otherwise by service and support.
Click Continue. The data validation panel is displayed, which includes your entered settings.
Click Save settings to update the system keywords and save them to the VPD.
