  • 2-way Xeon E5420 @ 2.50GHz
  • 6gb DDR2-667 FB-DIMMs

    • 6x 750gb SATA - WD7500AACS
    • RAID-10 for 2tb of usable storage

You can talk to the RSA "in band", using the asu utility. Currently stashed in /root/ASU

  • Dependent on the ibmasm service
  • IBM are cocks, so of course there's only tarballs and RPMs for it
  • That requires libusb and maybe something else

[root@yumi ASU]# ./asu64 rebootrsa

# if you forget the password:
[root@yumi ASU]# ./asu64 resetrsa

Default login is USERID // PASSW0RD (yes that's a zero in the password)

Certain crappiness is well documented: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_Remote_Supervisor_Adapter#Peculiarities

Forgotten password something-something:
