3-8 Management Software

System management may be performed with either of three software packages: IPMIview, IPMItool or a Web-based Management Utility. These are designed to provide an administrator with a comprehensive set of functions and monitored data to keep tabs on the system and perform management activities.

Refer to the manuals on your SuperBlade CD-ROM for further details on the various functions provided by these management programs.

3-9 Configuring and Setting up RAID

Each blade module that supports two or more hard drives may be used to create a RAID array. The procedures for doing this vary depending upon the blade model chosen for your SuperBlade system.

See Chapter 1 for details on how to configure and set up RAID on your blade module.
