Intel SE7500WV2 manual Emergency Management Port, Intel Server Management, EMP and Serial Over LAN

Page 16

Alerts can take either of these forms:

•Platform event pages -- the BMC dials a paging service and sends a predefined paging string. To use platform event paging (PEP), you must attach an external modem to the emergency management port (Serial 2).

•BMC LAN alerts -- the BMC sends an alert to a predefined destination on the LAN.

You can configure PEP and BMC LAN alerts by using the System Setup Utility (page 51).

Emergency Management Port

The emergency management port (EMP) refers to the use of the Serial 2 port, with either an external modem or direct serial connection, for remote management. The BMC controls the port and interfaces with remote access software, such as the Direct Platform Control application in Intel Server Management.

You can configure the EMP by using the System Setup Utility (SSU) or the System Configuration Wizard (SCW).

EMP and Serial Over LAN

The RJ-45 Serial 2 port on the back panel can be configured in several different ways: as a standard serial port, as an Emergency Management Port, or for serial output redirection over a LAN. You can configure these settings using either the SSU or the SCW.

✏NOTES

Important Intel SR1300 Server Chassis considerations: If you have configured the Serial 2 port for use as an Emergency Management Port and “always available”, the Serial 2 port will be accessible only by remote server management software. The operating system will never be able to access the port.

If you have configured the Serial 2 port for Serial Over LAN, the port’s functionality will only be impacted when there is an active Serial Over LAN session from a remote console. At all other times either the operating system or EMP will control the port, depending on your configuration.

Intel® Server Management

Intel Server Management (ISM) is a system management package that is included on the ISM CD. ISM applications interact with the integrated hardware system management features of the server to allow you to monitor and manage a server from a remote workstation:

•Remote connection from a Windows†-based client workstation over a LAN, or over a modem or direct serial connection to the emergency management port on the server.

•Real-time monitoring and alerting for server hardware sensors.

•Emergency management when the server is off (but still connected to AC power) lets you verify the state of the server, diagnose hardware problems, and power on/off or reset the server.

•Run the System Setup Utility to change the server configuration.
