---help---
|
|
This option enables device driver support for in-band access to the
|
|
IBM RSA (Condor) service processor in eServer xSeries systems.
|
|
The ibmasm device driver allows user space application to access
|
|
ASM (Advanced Systems Management) functions on the service
|
|
processor. The driver is meant to be used in conjunction with
|
|
a user space API.
|
|
The ibmasm driver also enables the OS to use the UART on the
|
|
service processor board as a regular serial port. To make use of
|
|
this feature serial driver support (CONFIG_SERIAL_8250) must be
|
|
enabled.

WARNING: This software may not be supported or function
|
|
correctly on your IBM server. Please consult the IBM ServerProven
|
|
website <http://www.pc.ibm.com/ww/eserver/xseries/serverproven> for

information on the specific driver level and support statement
|

for your IBM server.
