Secure, Remote Server Management Using Service Processors
The MergePoint service processor (SP) managers support multiple industry management
standards and bring simplicity to the data center by streamlining and consolidating the
management of servers with SP technologies. This is achieved by leveraging service processor
technologies from Dell, HP, IBM, Sun, Fujitsu Siemens, and the Intelligent Platform Management
Interface (IPMI, versions 1.5 and 2.0).
The MergePoint appliances provide secure Serial over LAN (SoL) console access, power control
and server hardware monitoring, and support DirectCommand which enables transparent,
secure access to the SP's native interface, along with IPMI provisioning and SP auto discovery.
When used in conjunction with DSView® 3 centralized management software, the MergePoint
appliance consolidates server access and control into one secure, out-of-band platform for simpler
management of disparate and dispersed IT equipment in data centers and remote offi ces.
The appliances can be accessed directly from a feature-rich Web user interface or a standard
command line interface that leverage the Systems Management Architecture for Server Hardware
Command Line Protocol (SMASH CLP), Web Services for Management (WS-MAN ) that allows
a common method for systems to remotely access devices and to exchange management
information; and Common Information Model object manager (CIMOM) that uses an information
model with standardized management information to abstract, organize and communicate details
about the managed device consistently between systems. SMASH, WS-MAN and CIMOM* are
standards defi ned by the Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF). These provide a single
command line interface to manage servers from multiple manufacturers, simplifying management
and streamlining interoperability while providing scripting and automation capabilities.
The MergePoint appliances not only make it easier to leverage SP features, but also enhance
SP added functionality. For example, the SoL feature complements the continuous data logging
capabilities, resulting in additional security and auditing. The appliances allow enterprise-class
authentication, authorization, and auditing (AAA) security and encryption, and extend this
functionality to all servers.
Also, simultaneous power control of multiple servers boosts the already existing power control
capabilities of SPs, including graceful shutdown support for IPMI. These features allow the user to
completely unleash the power of SP technologies.
The MergePoint appliances also ease the deployment and management of these technologies.
With easy-to-use IPMI provisioning capabilities and an auto-discovery mechanism for server
management technologies within the network, the MergePoint 5300 series appliances are ideal
for enterprise data centers as well as for high performance computing (HPC) and other clustering
environments.
