Chapter 2 Introducing HP Server Remote Management Card Event notification. The HP Server Remote Management Card notifies designated users when an event occurs that has been specified for notification. Using Remote Control notification, an administrator's valuable time is freed from constant surveillance of the server, and server downtime is kept to a minimum. The HP Server Remote Management Card can send notification via email using the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP), numeric pager, or alphanumeric pager using the Telocator Alphanumeric Protocol (TAP). An administrator can define the notification path and enable or disable paging for any event group. TAP paging allows the HP Server Remote Management Card to send meaningful text notifications to designated pagers. If your mobile phone service provider supports the TAP protocol, you can use the HP Server Remote Management Card to send Short Message Service (SMS) notifications up to 160 characters in length to your mobile phone. Diagnostics Memory diagnostics. If enabled, this function reads continuously through the complete memory range at a defined maximum performance impact. Single bit errors are logged and a session count is calculated. Last screen before Automatic Server Restart (ASR). If the Server SNMP agents software is installed, the HP Server Remote Management Card automatically captures a snapshot of the server's screen (blue screen on Windows NT servers) 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. Other Features Automatic server shutdown on voltage or temperature emergencies. The HP Server Remote Management Card can be configured to automatically shut down your server if it detects an over-voltage or over-heating condition. Remote floppy boot of the server. For remote reboot, the HP Server Remote Management Card allows an administrator to specify a boot floppy image file located on a TFTP server (see Appendix C for details). The HP Server in which the HP Server Remote Management Card is installed automatically fetches this boot image after a reset operation and executes the new boot image. Using this feature, for example, an administrator can remotely update the HP Server's BIOS, or remotely run server diagnostics. Remotely upgrade firmware. The HP Server Remote Management Card management program code is stored in Flash ROM on the HP Server Remote Management Card. If it is necessary to upgrade the firmware, a newer revision of the program code may be downloaded via a TFTP server to the programmable 11

Introducing HP Server Remote Management Card

Event notification.

The HP Server Remote Management Card notifies designated

users when an event occurs that has been specified for notification. Using Remote

Control notification, an administrator's valuable time is freed from constant

surveillance of the server, and server downtime is kept to a minimum. The HP

Server Remote Management Card can send notification via email using the

Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP), numeric pager, or alphanumeric pager

using the Telocator Alphanumeric Protocol (TAP). An administrator can define

the notification path and enable or disable paging for any event group.

TAP paging allows the HP Server Remote Management Card to send meaningful

text notifications to designated pagers. If your mobile phone service provider

supports the TAP protocol, you can use the HP Server Remote Management Card

to send Short Message Service (SMS) notifications up to 160 characters in length

to your mobile phone.

Diagnostics

Memory diagnostics.

If enabled, this function reads continuously through the

complete memory range at a defined maximum performance impact. Single bit

errors are logged and a session count is calculated.

Last screen before Automatic Server Restart (ASR).

If the Server SNMP

agents software is installed, the HP Server Remote Management Card

automatically captures a snapshot of the server's screen (blue screen on Windows

NT servers) 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.

Other Features

Automatic server shutdown on voltage or temperature emergencies.

The HP

Server Remote Management Card can be configured to automatically shut down

your server if it detects an over-voltage or over-heating condition.

Remote floppy boot of the server.

For remote reboot, the HP Server Remote

Management Card allows an administrator to specify a boot floppy image file

located on a TFTP server (see Appendix C for details). The HP Server in which

the HP Server Remote Management Card is installed automatically fetches this

boot image after a reset operation and executes the new boot image. Using this

feature, for example, an administrator can remotely update the HP Server's BIOS,

or remotely run server diagnostics.

Remotely upgrade firmware.

The HP Server Remote Management Card

management program code is stored in Flash ROM on the HP Server Remote

Management Card. If it is necessary to upgrade the firmware, a newer revision of

the program code may be downloaded via a TFTP server to the programmable
