Chapter 2 Introducing HP Server Remote Management Card ROM (see Appendix C for details). When available, new firmware versions can be obtained from the HP web site. SNMP support. The HP Server Remote Management Card includes SNMP support embedded in firmware on the Remote Control card. SNMP queries (MIBII) provide seamless integration with any SNMP management platform including HP Toptools and HP OpenView. SNMP traps that occur during a server hang or power down may be forwarded to a management console of your choosing. These management solutions provide in-band (network connected) monitoring of your servers. DHCP support. DHCP is based on a client-server paradigm in which the HP Server Remote Management Card contacts a DHCP server for configuration parameters. The DHCP server is typically centrally located and operated by the network administrator. The HP Server Remote Management Card can be reliably and dynamically configured with parameters appropriate to the current network architecture. These parameters are the IP address, subnet mask and default gateway. Integration with HP Toptools Device Manager. The HP Server Remote Management Card fully integrates with the Toptools Device Manager product (version 5.0 and above). Access to your HP Server Remote Management Card may be done via accessing a server page of a server that has the HP Server Remote Management Card installed, or through the Others list under Devices|Device Types. Group actions: If you use the HP Server Remote Management Card in a server managed by HP Toptools Device Manager, you can perform "group actions" on multiple HP Server Remote Management Cards by selecting all the cards you want with your mouse and right-clicking. Group actions include adding and deleting users, changing user passwords, viewing user configurations, replicating card configurations, powering on and off the server, and updating card firmware. CAUTION A special procedure is required when performing group actions on tc3100 and tc4100 servers. This is presented in Appendix G.

Introducing HP Server Remote Management Card
ROM (see Appendix C for details). When available, new firmware versions can
be obtained from the HP web site.
SNMP support.
The HP Server Remote Management Card includes SNMP
support embedded in firmware on the Remote Control card. SNMP queries (MIB-
II) provide seamless integration with any SNMP management platform including
HP Toptools and HP OpenView. SNMP traps that occur during a server hang or
power down may be forwarded to a management console of your choosing. These
management solutions provide in-band (network connected) monitoring of your
servers.
DHCP support.
DHCP is based on a client-server paradigm in which the HP
Server Remote Management Card contacts a DHCP server for configuration
parameters. The DHCP server is typically centrally located and operated by the
network administrator. The HP Server Remote Management Card can be reliably
and dynamically configured with parameters appropriate to the current network
architecture. These parameters are the IP address, subnet mask and default
gateway.
Integration with HP Toptools Device Manager.
The HP Server Remote
Management Card fully integrates with the Toptools Device Manager product
(version 5.0 and above). Access to your HP Server Remote Management Card
may be done via accessing a server page of a server that has the HP Server
Remote Management Card installed, or through the
Others
list under

.
Group actions:
If you use the HP Server Remote Management Card in a server
managed by HP Toptools Device Manager, you can perform “group actions” on
multiple HP Server Remote Management Cards by selecting all the cards you
want with your mouse and right-clicking. Group actions include adding and
deleting users, changing user passwords, viewing user configurations, replicating
card configurations, powering on and off the server, and updating card firmware.
CAUTION
A special procedure is required when performing group
actions on tc3100 and tc4100 servers. This is presented in
Appendix G.
