Functions of the iRMC S2/S3

LAN

On some systems, the LAN interface of the fitted system NIC (Network Interface Card) on the server is reserved for the management LAN. On other systems, you have the option of configuring this LAN interface to

reserve it for the management LAN

set it up for shared operation with the system or

make it completely available to the system.

The ports marked with a wrench symbol are assigned to the iRMC S2/S3 (see figure 7 on page 42).

Command line interface (CLP)

In addition to the Remote Manager, the iRMC S2/S3 also supports SMASH CLP (System Management Architecture for Server Hardware Command Line Protocol) as standardized by the DMTF (Distributed Management Task Force).

Simple configuration - interactive or script-based

The following tools are available for configuring the iRMC S2/S3:

iRMC web interface

Server Configuration Manager

The server management tool IPMIVIEW

BIOS Setup

It is also possible to carry out configuration with the Server Configuration Manager or IPMIVIEW using scripts. This means that it is possible to configure the iRMC S2/S3 when the server is first configured via ServerView Installation Manager. It is also possible to configure a large number of servers on the basis of scripts.

Support for the LocalView service panel

If PRIMERGY servers are equipped with a ServerView local service panel, this module allows you to determine what module is faulty and whether you can replace the faulty module yourself.

Local user management

The iRMC S2/S3 has its own user management function which allows up to 16 users to be created with passwords and to be assigned various rights depending on the user groups they belong to.
