SOLVED - Finding IBM IMM IP using linux command line without restarting

If you have ever forgot the IP address set for an IBM IMM (Integrated Management Module) , here is a tip to find it using IBM Advanced Settings utility (ASU) which supports options to view,edit few BIOS settings without the need to restart the server to access those settings.
 

 


Step 1 : Download IBM advanced settings utility from their support website , suitable for the OS you are using on the server.

https://www-947.ibm.com/support/entry/portal/docdisplay?lndocid=tool-asu

Sample file for a Linux OS would be ibm_utl_asu_asut86d-X.XX_linux_x86-64.tgz

Step 2 : Copy the ASU file to the linux server of which IMM port IP details have to be retrieved

[root@shareolite ~]# mkdir temp
[root@shareolite ~]# cp ibm_utl_asu_asut86d-9.63_linux_x86-64.tgz  temp/
[root@shareolite ~]# cd temp
[root@shareolite temp ]# tar -zxvf ibm_utl_asu_asut86d-9.63_linux_x86-64.tgz
asu64
template.xml
lic_en.txt
cdc_interface.sh
savestat.def
rdcli-x86_64/rdmount
rdcli-x86_64/rdumount      


Step 3 : Run the ASU command line utility with option "show" to display the details.

# To display all BIOS settings
[root@shareolite temp]# ./asu64 show

# To filter specifically IMM IP settings 
[root@shareolite temp]# ./asu64 show | grep 'IMM.Host'

IMM.HostName1=IMM2-10f52e2fe5321
IMM.HostIPAddress1=192.168.10.12
IMM.HostIPSubnet1=255.255.248.0
