Enclosure management

The HP BladeSystem c7000 Enclosure has extensive embedded management capabilities based on

three management elements:

BladeSystem Onboard Administrator or BladeSystem Onboard Administrator with KVM

ProLiant Onboard Administrator powered by Integrated Lights-Out 2 (iLO 2) management

processors that are integrated on the server blades

Interconnect module management processors such as the HP Virtual Connect Manager

These integrated management elements provide powerful hardware management for remote

administration and local diagnostics, as well as component and enclosure troubleshooting.

For detailed information about c-Class management technologies and capabilities, refer to the HP

white paper titled ―Managing HP BladeSystem c-Class systems‖:

http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c00814176/c00814176.pdf

The heart of c-Class enclosure management is the BladeSystem Onboard Administrator module

located in the enclosure. It performs four management functions for the entire enclosure:

Detecting component insertion and removal

Identifying components and required connectivity

Managing power and cooling

Controlling components

An optional second BladeSystem Onboard Administrator in the c7000 enclosure provides complete

redundancy for these functions.

IT administrators can access the BladeSystem Onboard Administrator in three different ways:

remotely through the web browser graphical user interface (GUI), through the scriptable command

line interface (CLI), or on site through the built-in Insight Display diagnostic LCD panel included in the

front of every c-Class enclosure.
