2 HP PC Blade Enclosure System
Software Features
The HP BladeSystem offers an extensive set of features and optional tools to support effective blade
PC management and software deployment. This chapter describes the HP PC Blade Enclosure
Integrated Administrator and provides a brief overview of software associated with the system.
HP PC Blade Enclosure Integrated Administrator
The HP PC Blade Enclosure Integrated Administrator is a centralized management and monitoring
system for the HP PC Blade Enclosure and blade PCs. The Integrated Administrator acts as a
combination console server and remote power controller, enabling in-band (default) or out-of-band,
secure, serial console connections to all blade PCs in the enclosure.
The Integrated Administrator provides enclosure health, blade health, and enables remote blade
manageability. Integrated Administrator features can be accessed from any network-based client. The
Integrated Administrator can provide provide remote access to any authorized network client, sends
alerts, and provides many other blade PC management functions.
The Integrated Administrator subsystem is embedded on a module included with each interconnect tray
and includes an intelligent microprocessor, secure memory, and a dedicated network interface that can
be configured for either in-band (default) or out-of-band remote access. This design makes the
Integrated Administrator independent of the host blade PC and its operating system.
Integrated Administrator Features
The following subsections describe Integrated Administrator functions that deliver management of the
enclosure and blade PCs.
Dedicated LAN Connectivity
Each Integrated Administrator provides a dedicated network connection. The uplink port 42 can autoselect speeds between 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps. When the PC Blade Switch (optional) is installed, by
default the Integrated Administrator is configured to route through a Gigabit uplink connector using
VLANs, eliminating the need for a separate management network.
NOTE: The default configuration for the HP BladeSystem PC Blade Switch option has the dedicated
IA port and both uplink ports 45 and 46 in the same VLAN.
ENWW HP PC Blade Enclosure Integrated Administrator 3
SNMP Alerts from Integrated Administrator to a Management Console
The Integrated Administrator provides notification of enclosure problems. Using a management console,
you can access various alerts, such as unauthorized access attempts and network connection failures
using SNMP traps.
The CPQRACK.MIB file contains HP-specific SNMP Object Identifiers (OIDs) and traps for managing
the enclosure infrastructure and blades. The Integrated Administrator 4.2 implements support for
CPQRACK version 1.8.
E-mail Alerts from Integrated Administrator to an E-mail Account
(AlertMail)
AlertMail enables the Integrated Administrator to send system events by e-mail instead of using SNMP
traps. AlertMail is completely independent of SNMP, and both can be enabled at the same time. AlertMail
uses standard SMTP commands to communicate with any SMTP capable mail server or in addition to
SMTP relay agent.
Remote Access and Control
The Integrated Administrator provides remote functionality to access a limited text-only console of the
host blade PC, change the state of the Unit Identification LED on an enclosure or any of its blade PCs,
and power up, power down, or reboot a blade PC or groups of blade PCs.
The Integrated Administrator displays alerts regardless of the state of the blade PC and integrates with
HP Systems Insight Manager using SNMP to provide alerts and diagnostics of the system.
If a blade PC does not respond, this feature enables an administrator to initiate a cold reboot to bring
the blade PC back online. The Integrated Administrator can be used to remotely operate a power button
or Unit Identification LED (UID) of any blade PC within the enclosure.
The Integrated Administrator is fully accessible by common Web browsers. The Integrated Administrator
also has a command line interface (CLI) accessible using Secure Shell (encrypted) or Telnet
(unencrypted) protocols, providing extensive management capability to remote network users. Local
users can access the CLI by attaching a client computer (using a terminal emulator) to the Integrated
Administrator’s console (RS-232 serial) port.
NOTE: With a Telnet session, all data - including passwords - are passed as clear text.
User Administration and Security
The Integrated Administrator supports up to 25 users with customizable access rights and login names.
Groups are first assigned bays, and then users are given membership to those groups. This groupcentered methodology is designed to facilitate user management across blade PCs.
The Integrated Administrator provides strong security for remote management in distributed IT
environments by using industry standard Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption of HTTP data
transmitted across the network. SSL encryption (up to 128-bit) ensures that the HTTP information is
secure as it travels across the network. You can encrypt all remote console data as well.
4 Chapter 2 HP PC Blade Enclosure System Software Features ENWW
The Integrated Administrator provides secure password encryption, tracking all login attempts and
maintaining a record of all login failures. The Integrated Administrator also provides the following
additional security features:
●
User actions logged in the Integrated Administrator System Log
●
Login legal warning
IP Security allows an administrator to define a set of IP addresses that are the only ones allowed to
connect to the services provided (SSH, HTTP, HTTPS, TELNET, SNMP). This means that an
administrator can make sure only a certain set of machines have access to the Integrated Administrator.
Automatic Network Configuration
The Integrated Administrator provides automatic network configuration of the IP address and host name
using Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) and Dynamic DNS/WINS. The Integrated
Administrator comes with a default name and DHCP client that leases an IP address from the DHCP
server on the network. For networks that do not use DHCP, the Integrated Administrator can use a static
IP configuration.
Automatic Time Configuration (NTP)
Automatic time configuration allows the Integrated Administrator to synchronize its date and time with
a compatible Network Time Protocol (NTP) Time Server.
SOAP Interface
The Integrated Administrator provides a handful of commands via the Simple Object Access Protocol
(SOAP) interface for manageability tools that utilize SOAP. This interface provides a handful of
commands for inventory and power management of the enclosure and blades managed by the IA. All
Administrator access level accounts can use the SOAP interface, and it is enabled using a command
line (CLI) command or the GUI.
Power Reporting
The Integrated Administrator collects power measurements from BC2000/BC2500 blades and reports
them via the CLI and GUI. These blades self measure using hardware measurement components
specifically in the BC2000/BC2500 series of blades. Using these measurements, a +-10% estimate of
power consumption for the enclosure is calculated. The overall enclosure power consumption estimate
can be collected by the CLI, GUI, and SOAP interface.
ENWW Integrated Administrator Features 5
Integration with the HP Systems Insight Manager Utility
The Integrated Administrator provides full integration with the HP Systems Insight Manager utility under
key operating environments. This integration provides:
●
Support for SNMP management—Support for SNMP trap delivery to a HP Systems Insight
Manager console
●
Management processor—The HP Systems Insight Manager utility adds support for a new device
type, the management processor. All Integrated Administrators (in HP PC Blade Enclosure) on the
network are discovered in the HP Systems Insight Manager utility as management processors. The
management processors are associated with the blade PCs they manage.
●
The Integrated Administrator hyperlinks—The HP Systems Insight Manager utility provides a
hyperlink on the blade PC device page to launch and connect to the Integrated Administrator.
●
Grouping of Integrated Administrator processors—All Integrated Administrator management
processors can be grouped together logically and displayed on one page in HP Systems Insight
Manager. This capability provides access to all Integrated Administrators on the network from one
point in HP Systems Insight Manager.
For more information on the HP Systems Insight Manager utility, refer to the ProLiant Essentials
Foundation Pack documentation that ships with the system or refer to
http://h18013.www1.hp.com/
products/servers/management/hpsim/index.html.
Integration with HP Session Allocation Manager (SAM) Utility
The Integrated Administrator provides features for the HP Session Allocation Manager software to
manage and report on the hardware. HP SAM leverages the SOAP interface to gather power reporting
data and power manage the blades within the enclosure. The Integrated Administrator has a built-in
6 Chapter 2 HP PC Blade Enclosure System Software Features ENWW
account that is provided for ease of implementing within a deployment that uses HP SAM. This account
is disabled by default.
Event Notification
The Integrated Administrator provides real-time event notifications for an enclosure. When an event
occurs, the Integrated Administrator notifies connected users by generating an icon that the user can
click to view more details.
Overview of HP BladeSystem Software Tools
The following subsections described tools and utilities supported by the HP BladeSystem blade PC
systems to facilitate monitoring and management of the enclosure.
ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU)
RBSU performs a wide range of configuration activities and provides access to numerous settings,
including those for system devices, operating system selection, and boot controller order. RBSU is also
fully compatible with remote serial console mode using the Integrated Administrator.
Headless Operation
HP bc-series blade PCs include VGA, keyboard, mouse, and USB interfaces; however, these blade
PCs are designed primarily for headless operation and management with no keyboard or monitor
attached.
ProLiant Essentials Rapid Deployment Pack
The ProLiant Essentials Rapid Deployment Pack features a graphical deployment console, which
provides intuitive drag-and-drop events, such as scripts and images, to deploy the operating systems
and applications on any combination of blade PCs installed in the enclosures.
With the Rapid Deployment Pack, users can automatically install pre-defined configurations on newly
installed blade PCs. For more information about the Rapid Deployment Pack, refer to an authorized
reseller, the Rapid Deployment CD that ships with the enclosure, or go to
http://www.hp.com/go/rdp.
HP Systems Insight Manager
HP Systems Insight Manager is a software utility designed for collecting blade PC information, including
fault conditions, performance, security, remote management, and recovery services. The HP
BladeSystem is fully compatible with the HP Systems Insight Manager utility.
Enclosure Self Recovery (ESR)
ESR is a self-monitoring reliability feature of the Integrated Administrator. If the Integrated Administrator
does not boot or hangs during operation, ESR automatically resets the Integrated Administrator for an
attempted self-recovery. The blade PCs and interconnect tray are not affected by ESR.
HP PC Blade Enclosure Management System and Utilities
The HP PC Blade Enclosure Management System and Utilities provide a full suite of configuration and
management interfaces and tools for the HP PC Blade Enclosure (option). Both Web and console
interfaces are provided for management of the interconnect switch and enclosure.
ENWW Overview of HP BladeSystem Software Tools 7
You can configure both interfaces to require a valid user name and password for authentication. RMON
(for the switch) and SNMP manageability are supported. You can also save the interconnect switch
configuration to a TFTP server as backups and as templates for preconfiguring other switches.
8 Chapter 2 HP PC Blade Enclosure System Software Features ENWW

Setting up the Web-based user interface
●
Additional steps
●
Help
Reviewing Configuration Tools and Information
The Integrated Administrator is ready for operation immediately after powering up. The following
features and information are designed to facilitate the setup and management of the Integrated
Administrator:
●
Each Integrated Administrator ships with a unique preconfigured Administrator password and host
name.
●
If the network uses Dynamic DNS or WINS, you can access the Integrated Administrator using the
factory-configured host name.
NOTE: The preconfigured Administrator password and host name are displayed on the
Integrated Administrator Default Network Settings Tag (settings tag) attached to the interconnect
tray.
●
If the network uses DHCP, an IP address can be automatically assigned to the Integrated
Administrator.
●
The blade PC health service (if installed on the blade) provides the Integrated Administrator with
the name as defined within the operating system of the blade PC and operating system type for
each blade PC.
CAUTION: Without an ACPI-compliant operating system, the Integrated Administrator cannot
gracefully shut down a blade PC. This condition may result in the permanent loss of critical data.
ENWW Reviewing Configuration Tools and Information 9
Identifying Integrated Administrator Components
Each HP PC Blade Enclosure interconnect tray ships with the Integrated Administrator module already
installed and provides external connectivity using two connectors on the rear panel.
Table 3-1 Integrated Administrator Rear Panel Components
Item Description
1 Management (10/100 Ethernet) connector for remote access through a Web-based user interface, Telnet,
or Secure Shell.
2 Console (serial) connector for local access to the command line interface using a laptop computer.
3 Integrated Administrator reset button.
4 Integrated Administrator health LED
5 Enclosure Unit Identification button/LED
Determining the Integrated Administrator’s Initial IP
Address
HP recommends that you connect a local client device, such as a laptop computer, to the console (serial)
connector in order to determine the initial IP address used by the network to recognize the Integrated
Administrator. After using that IP address to access the Integrated Administrator locally using the
console (serial) connector, you can use the Integrated Administrator default values to complete the initial
configuration.
The organization of this section reflects this process:
●
Requirements for local client devices
●
Default values for the Integrated Administrator
●
Determining the IP address using the local console
10 Chapter 3 Getting Started ENWW
Requirements for Local Client Devices
You can access the Integrated Administrator locally using the serial connector on the rear panel of the
enclosure using a local client device, such as a laptop computer. The local client device must run a
terminal emulator, such as HyperTerminal for Windows systems or Kermit for Linux systems.
The terminal emulator must operate at the following settings:
●
Bits per second: 9600
●
Bits: 8
●
Parity: None
●
Stop bits: 1
●
Flow control: none
●
Emulation: VT100
●
Backspace key sends Ctrl-H
Default Values for the Integrated Administrator
The Integrated Administrator is configured with a default user name, password, and DNS name. A
settings tag with the preconfigured values is attached to the interconnect tray containing the Integrated
Administrator module. There is also a built-in administrator account for SOAP access, which is disabled
by default.
Username: SAM
Default Password: SamUser123
NOTE: This administrator account is disabled by default. You cannot login using this account
until you enable the SAM account.
It is important that the account password is changed from the default account password if the account
is enabled prior to normal usage by HP SAM. Lastly, the SOAP interface for all other accounts is disabled
by default, but is always enabled for the SAM account.
NOTE: For security reasons, HP recommends changing the Administrator password after accessing
Integrated Administrator for the first time.
ENWW Determining the Integrated Administrator’s Initial IP Address 11
Determining the IP Address Using the Local Console
To determine the Integrated Administrator IP address using the local console perform the following
steps:
1. Access the Integrated Administrator console:
a. Connect a local client device (such as a laptop computer) with VT100 terminal emulation
software to the Integrated Administrator (serial) console connector using a null modem serial
cable.
b. Open a terminal emulation session with the following settings: 9600 bps, 8 data bits, no parity,
and 1 stop bit.
c. Log into the Integrated Administrator using the password on the settings tag attached to the
interconnect tray.
2. Establish the Integrated Administrator IP address.
For a detailed explanation of the command line conventions used in this document, see
Command
Line Conventions on page 121.
If a DHCP server is attached to the network, determine the Integrated Administrator IP address.
Type the following command at the command line interface:
SHOW NETWORK
If a DHCP server is not attached to the network, type the following commands sequentially to assign
a static IP address to the Integrated Administrator:
SET IPCONFIG STATIC <IP address><subnet mask>
SET GATEWAY <IP address>
SET DNS <primary address> {<secondary address>}
You can now access the Integrated Administrator using a Web browser, Secure Shell, Telnet, or
SNMP.
CAUTION: All settings are immediate and can only be manually restored.
12 Chapter 3 Getting Started ENWW
Setting Up the Web-Based User Interface
