Chapter 2 Introducing HP Server Remote Management Card if, for example, there has been a critical hardware failure. If text remote control is enabled during server reboot, the actual bootup screens can be viewed at a remote site. Remote configuration. An administrator at a remote client can reconfigure the HP Server Remote Management Card and change features such as notification actions. An administrator can also change user and administrator permissions without having to be at the server. Management and Security Remote management security. An administrator can assign access for up to 16 users, providing them with individual login identification, encrypted password, and privileges. User privileges define the right to perform a specific action (for example, powering down the server). Use management can thus be set up by an administrator at a remote site without compromising network security. The HP Server Remote Management Card login procedure is protected so that the password is not sent across the LAN. Dialback option. If a user is using modem communications, the HP Server Remote Management Card may be configured for dialback. Dialback authorization requires the user's ID. If the ID matches an entry in the user database, the HP Server Remote Management Card initiates an automatic callback via the external modem connected to the card. Server Performance Monitoring The HP Server Remote Management Card monitors I/O performance by gathering statistics on PCI bus usage. The following server operations and conditions are monitored: • Bus utilization. The ratio of use to total PCI cycles. This is an indicator of the server's I/O load. • Bus efficiency. The ratio of the amount of data transferred (throughput) to total PCI data transfer capacity. This is an indicator of how effectively the server's PCI devices are using the bus. The HP Server Remote Management Card monitors the following conditions: Environment monitoring. The HP Server Remote Management Card displays sensor values for each sensor in the server. These include sensors for voltages, temperatures, and fan speed. Logging of server events. The HP Server Remote Management Card displays the server's System Event Log (SEL) information for viewing by an administrator at a remote client. This is the same event log available via Toptools when the server is online. 10
