Chapter 5: Software Information

Tyan System Operator (TSO) is an IPMI-aware management tool for systems based on TYAN motherboards. Through TSO, Users have an easier way to remotely access system health information, do system maintenance and make the running systems much safer.

5.1 What is TSO

Three Components

The specially designed software TSO (Tyan System Operator) includes three components:

zTSO MANAGER

zTSO AGENT(optional)

zTSO CONSOLE

TSO supports the following operating system:

SuSE Server 8.0, 9.0, Professional 9.0, 9.1, 9.2 and 9.3 (32/64-bit)

MANAGER

MANAGER is the core component of TSO. It provides communication between CONSOLE and AGENT. MANAGER is normally installed at the gateway or proxy machine in the subnet

AGENT(optional)

AGENT runs on a target system which is to be managed. AGENT is normally installed at a data-server or email-server machines. As IPMI improvement, most of IPMI function can be done under out-of-band, users don’t need install AGENT normally.

CONSOLE

CONSOLE provides GUI (Graphic User Interface) for an administrator to perform all management functions.
