IPMI and WS-Management for the HP ProLiant 100 Series servers The HP ProLiant 100 Series servers listed in Table 6 contain a Baseboard Management Controller (BMC). Table 6. Supported ProLiant 100 Series Servers with Baseboard Management Controller Server platform ProLiant DL140 G2 ProLiant DL140 G3 ProLiant DL145 G2 ProLiant ML110 G3 ProLiant ML110 G4 ROM family DL140G2 DL140G3 DL145G2 ML110G3 ML110G4 Minimum ROM date 03/31/06 06/18/06 03/23/06 02/13/06 06/05/06 HP IPMI Provider for HP BladeSystem servers and ProLiant 300 and 500 Series servers For HP BladeSystem servers and ProLiant 300 and 500 Series servers that do not contain IPMI hardware, the IPMI Provider is required for IPMI functionality. The HP IPMI Provider emulates the Microsoft IPMI Provider by collecting IPMI data from the HP System Management Controller Driver and making it available through the "root\hardware" WMI namespace. ProLiant 300 and 500 Series G4 servers and older require the IPMI Provider that is included in the Windows Server 2008 PSP 8.00. Failover Clustering Failover clustering is available in the Enterprise and Datacenter editions of Windows Server 2008. Installed through the Add Features menu in Server Manager, failover clustering allows multiple servers to work together to increase the availability of applications and services. Windows Server 2008 failover clustering does not support parallel SCSI-based storage solutions. Only SCSI-3 commandcapable storage functions with Windows Server 2008 failover clustering. HP delivers intelligent fault resilience with its High Availability Clustering product solutions and kits built on industry standard ProLiant servers running Windows Server 2008 and Smart Array Cluster Storage, or StorageWorks platforms integrated with HP management tools. Administrators should review the Microsoft documentation for failover clustering at: http://technet2.microsoft.com/windowsserver2008/en/library/3ce5c4f2-558d-4daf-ae8654c9734a53bf1033.mspx?mfr=true. NOTE Storage that was compatible with server clusters in Windows Server 2003 might not be compatible with failover clusters in Windows Server 2008. 16
