Locally: LAN over USB

This topic provides instructions on how to update the Universal Unique Identifier and DMI/SMBIOS data on the server locally using LAN over USB.

To update the UUID, in the ASU command-line interface, enter the following command:
Note
If you omit any optional parameter, the default value is used. If one or more default values are used and the ASU cannot access the IMM by using the LAN over USB access method, the ASU automatically uses the KCS access method.

asu set SYSTEM_PROD_DATA.SysInfoUUID uuid [--host ipaddress]

     [--user userid][--password password]

where:

uuid
is the user-assigned hexadecimal value, up to 16 bytes, that identifies the server.
ipaddress
is the internal LAN/USB IP address of the IMM. The default is 169.254.95.118.
userid
is the IMM account name (1 of 12 accounts). The default is USERID.
password
is the IMM account password (1 of 12 accounts). The default is PASSW0RD (with a zero, not the letter O).

To update the DMI/SMBIOS data, complete the following steps:

  1. In the ASU command-line interface, enter the following command:

    asu set SYSTEM_PROD_DATA.SysInfoProdName xxxxyyy [--host ipaddress]

         [--user userid][--password password]

    where:

    xxxx
    is the 4-digit machine type of the server.
    yyy
    is the 3-digit model number of the server.
    ipaddress
    is the internal LAN/USB IP address of the IMM. The default is 169.254.95.118.
    userid
    is the IMM account name (1 of 12 accounts). The default is USERID.
    password
    is the IMM account password (1 of 12 accounts). The default is PASSW0RD (with a zero, not the letter O).
  2. Enter the following command:

    asu set SYSTEM_PROD_DATA.SysInfoSerialNum zzzzzzz [--host ipaddress]

         [--user userid][--password password]

    where zzzzzzz is the 7-character serial number of the server.

  3. Enter the following command:

    asu set SYSTEM_PROD_DATA.SysEncloseAssetTag

    aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa [--host ipaddress]

         [--user userid][--password password]

    where aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa is the 33-character asset tag number of the server.
