User manual FUJITSU SIEMENS SERVERVIEW REMOTE MANAGEMENT IRMC S2 DATASHEET 02-10

[. . . ] With iRMC S2 the overall system performance can be monitored. Thereby operating system independent control of power consumption is possible. By means of the new Customer Self Service concept for certain server components you can do service on your own. Hardware for remote management Remote configuration and maintenance minimize timeconsuming and cost-intensive call-outs. [. . . ] Power Consumption Monitoring is not supported by all power supplies. Power Consumption Control Besides power monitoring also the operating system independent control is possible. The following operating states are selectable: ­ Minimal Power Consumption. The CPU works always at lowest frequency and voltage ­ Best Performance. Whole frequency and voltage bandwith is available and can be selected by the operating system. Allows to switch between the above modesdependening on day of the week and time. (These settings are CPU specific and are not available for all CPUs) Text console redirection A Telnet session can be initiated on the iRMC S2 via the Remote Management Web front-end. The Remote Manager is then called, by means of which text console redirection can be started, power management carried out, the error event log read or sensor information queried. Beside Telnet there is SOL (serial over LAN) and SSH (secure Shell) supported. Headless system operation A mouse, monitor and keyboard are not required on the managed server. As a result, costs are reduced, cabling in the rack is simplified considerably and security is increased. Identification LED The Identification LED can be switched on from the iRMC S2 Web interface to identify the system, for example in a fully configured rack. LAN In all systems the LAN interface of the built-in NIC (network interface card) is reserved for the management LAN. In other systems the LAN interface can be configured optionally for ­ exclusive use by the management LAN ­ shared operation with the system ­ exclusive use by the system. The management LAN interface of the system NIC is indicated by the screwdriver icon. Command line interface (CLI) The iRMC S2 not only supports the Remote Manager, but also the SMASH CLP (System Management Architecture for Server Hardware Command Line Protocol) standardized by the DMTF (Distributed Management Task Force). Simple configuration ­ interactive or scripted The following tools are available to configure the iRMC S2: ­ iRMC S2 Web interface ­ WinSCU ­ Server management tool IPMIVIEW ­ BIOS Setup Scripted configuration via WinSCU or IPMIVIEW is also possible. In this way, the iRMC S2 can also be configured during initial setup of the server with ServerStart. Scripting is also possible to configure a large number of servers simultaneously. Local user management The iRMC S2 has its own user management system, in which up to 16 users with passwords can be created and granted different rights, depending on the group to which they belong. User management via directory service The protocol used is LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) or secure LDAP. The directory services Active Directory, openLDAP and eDirectory are supported. Therewith users can be managed centrally and have not to be managed via the iRMC S2. [. . . ] ServerView Local Service Panel (LSP) The LSP is a display providing information on component states. In addition via LEDs information is provided which components (CRU - Customer Replaceable Units) you can replace in the respective system on your own. The LSP is a display can be build into systems front. Enhanced functions of the iRMC S2 Advanced Pack In addition to its standard functionality, the iRMC S2 additionally provides the functions Advanced Video Redirection and Remote Storage. The enhanced functionality is enabled by means of a release key that can be ordered with the system (S26361F1790-E241) or subsequently (S26361-F1790-L241) and loaded via the Web interface. [. . . ]
