Protocol Virtual media from PC to OA Remote syslog Incoming port 17988 Outgoing port 514 LDAP and Remote syslog port number can be changed. If a protocol is disabled, the corresponding ports are also disabled. Onboard Administrator overview NOTE: The Monarch OA is the Active OA in enclosure 1. It provides complex-wide administrative functions, such as partition management, event logs, and error diagnostics. IOX enclosure devices are managed through the Monarch OA. Many OA settings must be managed on the Monarch OA and are automatically copied to the other OAs in the complex, such as user accounts and settings, power options, and feature enablement. Some settings are managed locally on each OA, such as the IP configuration and OA certificates. Detecting component insertion and removal Onboard Administrator provides component control in HP Integrity Superdome 2 Blade Enclosures. Component management begins after the component is detected and identified. The Onboard Administrator detects components in Superdome 2 enclosures through presence signals on each bay. When you insert a component into a bay, or connect an IOX, the Onboard Administrator immediately recognizes and identifies the component. If you remove a component from a bay the Onboard Administrator deletes the information about that component. An IOX will be marked Failed if it is disconnected while the system is active. The Monarch OA must be rebooted to remove an IOX from the complex. Identifying components To identify a component, Onboard Administrator reads an FRU EEPROM that contains specific factory information about the component such as product name, part number, and serial number. All FRU EEPROMs in Superdome 2 enclosures are powered on, even if the component is powered off. Therefore, Onboard Administrator can identify the component before granting power. For devices such as fans, power supplies, and Insight Display, Onboard Administrator directly reads the FRU EEPROMs. • The server blades contain several FRU EEPROMs: one on the server board, which contains server information and embedded NIC information, and one on each installed mezzanine option cards. • Server blade control options also include extensive blade hardware information including: ◦ Blade and partition firmware versions ◦ Blade name ◦ NIC and option card port IDs ◦ Port mapping • Onboard Administrator provides easy-to-understand port mapping information for each server blade and interconnect module in each enclosure. The NIC and mezzanine option FRU data informs Onboard Administrator of the type of interconnects each server requires. Before power is provided to a server blade, Onboard Administrator compares this information with the FRU EEPROMs on installed interconnect modules to verify for electronic Onboard Administrator overview 11
