Intel SX220 Connecting to a Remote Server, OpenView, Unicenter TNG, Telephone, From the Console

OpenView

The HP OpenView Network Node Manager Console automatically detects servers running the ISC Platform Instrumentation software. ISC-enabled servers display on the network map, and an “Intel Server Control” applet is added as an option in the Tools menu.

Unicenter TNG

Unicenter TNG automatically detects servers running the ISC Platform Instrumentation software if the ISC to discovery service is enabled. The service can be started either from the Auto Discovery dialog or from the Windows NT Services applet. The discovery service creates a new “Intel Server Control” object for each ISC-enabled server. The ISC objects display under “ISC World View.”

Connecting to a Remote Server

There are several methods for connecting to a server for management. A key to effective management is to configure your system with methods that will allow you to communicate with the server in conditions ranging from fully functional to powered- off. The available connections are:

•Telephone

•Local Area Network (LAN)

•Intelligent Chassis Management Bus (ICMB)

•Local Direct

The connection methods are described in the following paragraphs.

Telephone

A telephone/modem connection may be used to communicate with a managed server.

A telephone connection is particularly useful when the managed server is not communicating with the local area network, such as when the server is hung or powered-off.

Using a telephone line to connect to an unpowered server requires that a battery- backed-up management card be installed in the server.

From the Console

With a modem installed in both the client console system and the remote server, you can connect to the server using DPC or Client SSU.
