Chapter 2 Remote Administration Using the HP Integrated Remote Assistant allowing start-up messages to be viewed at a remote site. An administrator can also remotely power off (and on) the server if, as an example, the server is to be shut down for the weekend. Remote configuration. An administrator at a remote client can reconfigure Integrated RA without having to be at the server. Configuration tasks that can be performed at a remote client include the modification of notification settings and the editing of administrator information. Management and Security Remote Management Security. An administrator sets passwords and dial-back for authorized administration, allowing management by an administrator at remote sites without compromising network security. (Up to eight administrators can be specified for dial backs.) Integrated RA also keeps track of illegal login attempts and chassis intrusions, and maintains an audit trail of administrator activity. Last Screen Captured Before Automatic Server Restart (ASR). Integrated RA automatically captures a snapshot of the server's display screen upon an ASR event, preserving error messages or other screen activity that appeared before restart. An administrator can view the snapshot from a remote client and use the screen contents to troubleshoot server problems. This capability is provided by Integrated RA and the supplied ASR driver software. NOTE The Automatic Server Restart (ASR) driver is installed via a separate installation utility. For more information, view the online information accessible from the "Management" button at the HP Information Assistant Main Menu. Your system User Guide contains complete details for installing and using HP Information Assistant. Server Supervision Environment monitoring. Integrated RA monitors voltage, temperature and fan speed levels, and compares the samples with warning and critical threshold parameters (specified with the SNMP agent). Logging of server events. Integrated RA maintains a comprehensive log of server events, tracking the nature and time of each event. This log is maintained in nonvolatile memory so that it is retained even when Integrated RA is shut down. The log can be viewed at the server using the Log Viewer, from a management client or using HP TopTools. 8
