HP Onboard Administrator HP BladeSystem Onboard Administrator (OA) is the enclosure management processor, subsystem, and firmware base used to support the HP BladeSystem c-Class enclosures and the managed devices contained within the enclosure. OA provides a single point from which to view the entire HP BladeSystem c-Class environment and perform basic management tasks on BladeSystem devices, including server blades and switches installed in the c-Class enclosure. Using pre-configured hardware parameters, OA performs initial configuration steps for the enclosure, allows for run-time management and configuration of the enclosure components, and informs you of problems within the enclosure through e-mail, SNMP, or the Insight Display For more Information about using OA, see the HP BladeSystem Onboard Administrator User Guide. Onboard Administrator can be used to access the HP Virtual SAS Manager application on switches installed in the HP BladeSystem c-Class enclosure. The following image shows the Rack Topology view of the front and rear of a c7000 enclosure, with the primary navigation tree on the left-side of the display. As shown in this example, half-height server blades are installed in device bays 1-8, and the two HP 3Gb SAS BL Switches are installed in interconnect bays 5 and 6. HP Onboard Administrator 39
