A little while ago we sent an IBM server up to a client with the IMM card configured but we hadn’t made a note of the IP address. This meant we couldn’t easily access the interface and there wasn’t an onsite IT person to help with manually changing the IP address.

Here’s what you can do.

1) Firstly download the IBM Advanced Settings Utility from the IBM support site. This allows you to query a number of the settings of your IBM server.
2) Then unpack the ASU file to a folder. Open a command prompt and navigate to that folder.
3) Then type “asu64 show” (without the speech marks). This will show you a load of info starting with the IP address of your IMM card

You can also type “asu64 set imm.hostipaddress1 10.1.37.1″ to set the IP address of the IMM controller to the IP address specified
