As each device detaches, the following message appears.

Use Attach to restore the operating system access to the IO Accelerator.

Detaching mixed attached/detached devices

If you select a set of IO Accelerators to detach where some are attached and some are detached, the Confirm Detach dialog box displays a list of the drives and their statuses.

When you click Detach, the IO Accelerator Management Tool disconnects only the attached devices (those marked Ready).

All Cache

This table displays the name of the cache, its status (Enabled or Disabled), the ioMemory in use, the Hostname, the Cluster Name, and the Backing Store Device Name. The backing store device is the name of the device being cached. All of these links take you to the Device page except the Cluster Name, which takes you to a table showing all the hosts that are part of the cluster.

Remove

Removes the caching relationship of a caching device to a backing store and restores the device and backing store to their previous, unbound state.

Enable

Re-enables caching of a bound backing store and creates a cache block device.

Disable

Halts caching and prepares a cache and backing store for system power down or for maintenance. To re-enable the caching, click Enable.

All Hosts

Select All Hosts from the sidebar to display all host-relevant information, such as Hostname, HostIP (the host's IP address), Hosts Online (whether the selected host is online or offline), and the Host OS (Linux or Windows). The serial number or the alias of the drive displays under the heading Drives. The Cluster Name is displayed last.

The Format, Update Firmware, and Attach buttons apply to all devices attached to the selected hosts.

All Clusters

This screen displays the Cluster Name, the Cluster IP Address, and the Master Host. The Columns link lets you add or remove the Cluster IP Address and the Master Host name.

c-Class specifications

The HP c-Class is a series of high-performance blade servers designed to optimize space and improve data center efficiency. These compact systems exemplify HP's commitment to delivering powerful computing solutions that are both scalable and manageable. The c-Class offers an array of features, technologies, and characteristics that cater to diverse business needs, ensuring organizations can keep up with the demands of modern computing environments.

At the heart of the HP c-Class architecture is its innovative blade technology, enabling multiple server blades to reside within a single enclosure. This not only conserves physical space in the data center but also reduces energy consumption, ultimately lowering operational costs. The c-Class enclosure supports a variety of HP server blades, which can be tailored to meet specific workload requirements.

One of the standout features of the HP c-Class is its high-density design, allowing organizations to run numerous processors and substantial memory within a compact footprint. The system supports the latest Intel and AMD processors, offering exceptional processing capabilities. With a modular design, businesses can easily scale up resources by adding more blades as demand increases.

In terms of connectivity, the HP c-Class integrates advanced networking options. It includes embedded Ethernet and Fibre Channel switches, facilitating seamless data transfer and communications while ensuring minimal latency. The built-in redundancy features enhance reliability, making it a robust solution for critical applications.

Power and thermal management are key characteristics of the HP c-Class, with Energy Star compliance underscoring its efficiency. Intelligent power management tools allow for real-time monitoring and optimization, further contributing to reduced energy costs.

HP's Integrated Lights-Out (iLO) technology is another significant advantage. This tool provides remote management capabilities, giving IT personnel the ability to monitor the health and performance of the server blades from anywhere. The iLO feature simplifies troubleshooting and enhances system uptime.

Security features are also woven into the fabric of the HP c-Class. With options for advanced authentication and secure boot processes, organizations can protect their critical data and maintain compliance with local regulations.

In summary, the HP c-Class blade server series delivers a compelling combination of high performance, scalability, and manageability. Its advanced technologies cater to a wide range of applications, making it an ideal choice for businesses seeking to enhance their IT infrastructure while keeping costs in check. The c-Class is not just a product; it represents a strategic approach to efficient, high-capacity computing.
