v Enter the modem configuration file name.v Set up site-specific parameters (phone numbers for call-out, call-out policy, number of call-outretries, and so on).3. To call out before restart, set Call-out before restart to ENABLED from the Reboot/Restart PolicySetup menu.Note: Some modems, such as the IBM 7857-017, are not designed for the paging function. Although theycan be used for paging, they will return an error message when they do not get the expectedresponse from another modem. Therefore, even though the paging was successful, the errormessage will cause the service processor to retry, continuing to place pager calls for the number ofretries specified in the call-out policy setup menu. These retries result in redundant pages.Console MirroringConsole mirroring allows a user on one serial port to monitor the service processor activities on anotherserial port. This can be done on the locally attached HMC virtual terminal window or windows remotelyattached through modems. Console mirroring is supported on any combination of locally or remotelyattached monitors.The serial port from which console mirroring is enabled is called the primary port. The mirror port isdetermined when keyboard input is detected from one of the other two serial ports. From this pointforward, the service processor sends information to the active port and the mirror port only. Consolemirroring ends when the service processor releases control of the serial ports to the system firmware.Console mirroring is supported on serial port 1 (S1), serial port 2 (S2), and serial port 3 (S3). Remoteattachment through modem is supported on serial port 1 (S1) and serial port 2 (S2).System ConfigurationThe following describes the configuration for console mirroring:v Service processorv Modem connected to one serial port and enabled for incoming callsv Local HMC virtual terminal window connected to the other serial port. This local terminal can beconnected directly to your system or connected through another modem.Console mirroring can be started by either of the following methods:v Remote session first, then local session added:1. Remote session is already in progress.2. Remote user uses service processor menus to enable console mirroring, allowing both consoles tobe active.v Local session first, then remote session added:1. Local session is already in progress.2. The service processor receives a call from the remote user.3. The local user selects the option to enable console mirroring. The service processor immediatelybegins mirroring service processor menus.Chapter 7. Using the Service Processor 259
