HP ProLiant BL e-Class System Software Features

If a server blade does not respond, this feature enables an administrator to initiate

a cold reboot to bring the server blade back online. The Integrated Administrator

can be used to remotely operate a power button of a server blade.

Integrated Administrator.

The Integrated Administrator also has a command line interface (CLI) accessible

using Secure Shell (encrypted) or Telnet (unencrypted) protocols, providing

User administration and security

The Integrated Administrator supports up to 25 users with customizable access

rights and login names. Groups are first assigned bays, and then users are given

membership to those groups. This group-centered methodology is designed to

facilitate user management across server blades.

Integrated Administrator provides strong security for remote management in

distributed IT environments by using industry-standard Secure Sockets Layer

(SSL) encryption of HTTP data transmitted across the network. SSL encryption

(up to 128-bit) ensures that the HTTP information is secure as it travels across

the network. All remote console data can be encrypted as well.

Integrated Administrator provides secure password encryption, tracking all login

attempts and maintaining a record of all login failures. Integrated Administrator

also provides the following additional security features:

— User actions logged in the Integrated Administrator System Log

— Login legal warning

IP Security allows an administrator to define a set of IP addresses that are the

only ones allowed to connect to the services provided (SSH, HTTP, HTTPS,

TELNET, SNMP). This means that an administrator can make sure only a certain

set of machines have access to Integrated Administrator.
