3.7 IBM Director support IBM Director is a systems management application and can be adopted easily into heterogeneous environments. It is based on industry standards and designed for ease of use. The Java™-based GUI helps administrators manage single or large groups of IBM and non-IBM servers, workstations, desktop computers, and notebook computers. Note: The 64-bit versions of IBM Director Agent and Scalable Systems Manager, for both Windows and Linux, are scheduled to be available in the first quarter of 2004. The 64-bit IBM Director Agent has the following functions: Event Action Plans Event Log File Transfer Inventory (all except CIM-based information) Management Processor Assistant (requires ASM device driver) Process Management Remote Control Remote Session Resource Monitors ServeRAID Manager Software Distribution (Basic and Premium) SNMP Browser Agent for Windows and Linux The Scalable Systems Manager is a plug-in of IBM Director that communicates solely out-of-band with the service processor, to create and manage static hardware partitions in the x455. These static partitions are referred to as scalable partitions throughout the Scalable Systems Manager interface. Because Scalable Systems Manager communicates out-of-band with the x455, the primary task you can perform with Scalable Systems Manager is to configure a scalable partition for a specific offline server before starting the operating system for that server. Scalable Systems Manager is going to be the only way to have two or four operating system instances in a multi-node configuration. For two-node configuration it is possible to have two different instances and for four-node configuration it is possible to have four different instances. For more information about Scalable Systems Manager, see "Scalable Systems Manager" on page 177. Chapter 3. Planning 89
