[AusNOG] IBM XSeries Remote Management Module Advanced Upgrade - urgently needed

[Kathy Shannon]

Hi

I have on order IBM part number 90Y3901 for an X3650 M4 server - this is
the Remote Management Module Advanced Upgrade  however these come as
activation keys now not hardware.  I really need to get hold of one - would
anyone have one I could purchase?

I am having trouble now as previously ordering the IBM server they were VM
Keys (hardware) which came with the server.  Now they come as a license
piece of paper weeks after the server has arrived which causes problems for
remote management in the meantime. I have a server down and need this
desperately so we can reload the OS but can't do this without the remote
managment and the server is 8 hours away. We can connect to the IMM but
can't do the remote control function without the key.

I have called Ingram Micro, the distributor who has the original order. I
have also called IBM about 8 times now talking to spare parts, the US
office, online shop, even IBM Partnerworld as I was even happy to
repurchase through them directly online again if it meant getting the key
the same day but no one is calling me back nor able to tell me any info
about my original order or how its delivered if I order directly.

If anyone does have one I could purchase please email me off list. Also if
anyone has better luck in getting these faster when ordering new servers
any hints would be appreciated!

Thanks

Kath
