ServerView Remote Management Frontend 5

1 Preface

The ServerView Remote Management Frontend provides you with a web-based

working environment for the remote management of PRIMERGY servers which

is integrated in the ServerView Operations Manager. The ServerView Remote

Management Frontend is started from the ServerView Operations Manager and

the installation of this application is therefore a necessary precondition.

The ServerView Remote Management Frontend and the ServerView Opera-

tions Manager are referred to below as the Remote Management Frontend and

the Operations Manager respectively.

You simply need a standard web browser for the display at the remote

workstation. You can open a separate browser window for each PRIMERGY

server displayed in the Operations Manager ServerList window. From here, you

can then open various windows for the remote management of the corre-

sponding PRIMERGY server.

As a web-based solution, the Remote Management Frontend can be installed

on a remote workstation set up under a Windows or Linux system.

IIn the case of an individual PRIMERGY server with installed

iRMC/ iRMC S2, you can also use the Remote Management Frontend

functionality via this iRMC/ iRMC S2's web interface (See the manuals

“iRMC - integrated Remote Management Controller” and “iRMC S2 -

integrated Remote Management Controller”).

6 ServerView Remote Management Frontend

Overview Preface

1.1 Overview

The type of window displayed in the Remote Management Frontend depends,

on the one hand, on the hardware (iRMC, RSB etc.) which you use to establish

the connection to the managed server and, on the other, on the interface which

is provided in each case.

Hardware-specific displays in the Remote Management Frontend

The Remote Management Frontend's displays and controls are adapted to the

remote hardware via which you establish the connection to a managed

PRIMERGY server:

– In the case of a PRIMERGY server with an installed iRMC or iRMC S2, you

can use either the Telnet/SSH “Remote Manager” application or the

managed server's power management and console redirection window in

the Remote Management Frontend's console area.

– In the case of a PRIMERGY server with an installed RSB or RSB S2/

RSB S2 LP (as of firmware version 6.4.57.29), the Telnet “Remote

Manager” application is available to you in the Remote Management

Frontend's console area once a connection has been established.

Only in the case of RSB:

You can use the Remote Manager to redirect the display at the console of

the managed server. In this way, you can access the BIOS setup and the

RemoteView/Diagnose system tools on the managed server.

– In the case of a PRIMERGY server with an installed BMC with firmware

version 2.x or higher, the managed server's power management and

console redirection window is available in the Remote Management

Frontend's console area after the establishment of a connection.

– In the case of a blade server with a RemoteView Management Blade, the

RemoteView Management Blade Telnet “Console Menu” application is

available to you in the Remote Management Frontend's console area after

the establishment of a connection. You can use the Console Menu to redirect

the display at the consoles of the managed server blades. In this way, you

can access the BIOS setup at the managed server blade.

Preface Overview

The interface provided by the Remote Management Frontend for the

remote management of PRIMERGY servers:

Depending on the hardware available for remote management on the individual

managed servers, the Remote Management Frontend provides the following

interfaces for web-based access to the managed servers.

●Telnet-based interface (Remote Manager)

Depending on the managed PRIMERGY server, the connection may be

established via

– an iRMC/ iRMC S2 or

– an RSB/ RSB S2/ RSB S2 LP (3HU) with firmware version 6.4.57.29 or

higher.

●Telnet-based interface (Console Menu) via a RemoteView Management

Blade

●SSH-based interface (Remote Manager) via an iRMC/ iRMC S2.

●Interface for power management and console redirection (IPMI (1.5)-over-

LAN-based) via a Kalypso BMC (BMC - firmware version 2.x or higher)

●Interface for power management (IPMI (2.0)-over-LAN-based) and console

redirection (via SOL) via

– an iRMC/ iRMC S2 or

– a BMC of the RX/TX 600 S2/S3
