2 HP PC Blade Enclosure System Software Features The HP BladeSystem offers an extensive set of features and optional tools to support effective blade PC management and software deployment. This chapter describes the HP PC Blade Enclosure Integrated Administrator and provides a brief overview of software associated with the system. HP PC Blade Enclosure Integrated Administrator The HP PC Blade Enclosure Integrated Administrator is a centralized management and monitoring system for the HP PC Blade Enclosure and blade PCs. The Integrated Administrator acts as a combination terminal server and remote power controller, enabling out-of-band, secure, serial console connections to all blade PCs in the enclosure. The Integrated Administrator provides enclosure health, blade health, and remote blade manageability. Integrated Administrator features are accessed from any network-based client. The Integrated Administrator provides remote access to any authorized network client, sends alerts, and provides many other blade PC management functions. The Integrated Administrator subsystem is embedded on a module included with each interconnect tray and includes an intelligent microprocessor, secure memory, and a dedicated network interface. This design makes the Integrated Administrator independent of the host blade PC and its operating system. Integrated Administrator Features The following subsections describe Integrated Administrator functions that deliver state-of-the-art management of the enclosure and blade PCs. Dedicated LAN network connectivity Each Integrated Administrator provides a dedicated network connection. The NIC can auto-select speeds between 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps. When the PC Blade Switch (optional) is installed, you can configure the Integrated Administrator to route through a Gigabit uplink connector using VLANs, eliminating the need for a separate management network. NOTE: The default configuration for the HP BladeSystem PC Blade Switch option has the dedicated IA port and both Switch A and Switch B uplinks in the same VLAN. 4 Chapter 2 HP PC Blade Enclosure System Software Features ENWW
