HP ProLiant BL e-Class System Software
Features
The HP ProLiant BL e-Class system offers an extensive set of features and optional
tools to support effective server management and software deployment. This chapter
describes the Integrated Administrator and provides a brief overview of software
associated with the system.
ProLiant BL e-Class Integrated Administrator
The Integrated Administrator is a centralized management and monitoring system for
the ProLiant BL e-Class enclosure and server blades. The Integrated Administrator
acts as a combination terminal server and remote power controller, enabling
out-of-band, secure, serial console connections to all server blades in the enclosure.
1
The ProLiant BL e-Class Integrated Administrator is a standard component of
ProLiant BL e-Class systems. The Integrated Administrator provides enclosure
health, server blade health, and remote server manageability. Integrated
Administrator features are accessed from any network-based client. The Integrated
Administrator provides remote access to any authorized network client, sends alerts,
and provides many other server blade 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. This design makes the Integrated Administrator
independent of the host server and its operating system.
HP ProLiant BL e-Class Integrated Administrator User Guide 1-1
HP ProLiant BL e-Class System Software Features
For further information associated with the Integrated Administrator, refer to:
www.compaq.com/products/servers/proliant-bl/e-class/integrated-admin.html
Integrated Administrator Features
The Integrated Administrator provides the following functionality to deliver
state-of-the-art management of the enclosure and server blades:
•
Dedicated LAN network connectivity
Each Integrated Administrator provides a dedicated network connection.
The NIC can auto-select speeds between 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps. When the
ProLiant BL e-Class C-GbE Interconnect Switch (option) is installed, the
Integrated Administrator can be configured to route through a Gigabit uplink
connector using VLANS, eliminating the need for a separate management
network.
•
SNMP alerts from Integrated Administrator to a management console
The Integrated Administrator provides notification of enclosure problems. Using
a management console, you can access certain server blade alerts, such as SNMP
and unauthorized access alerts.
•
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 from SNMP
and both can be enabled at the same time. AlertMail uses standard SMTP
commands to communicate with any SMTP capable mail server.
•
Remote access and control
The Integrated Administrator provides remote functionality to access the console
of the host server blade, change the state of the Unit Identification LED on an
enclosure and its server blades, and power up, power down, or reboot a server
blade.
The Integrated Administrator displays alerts regardless of the state of the user’s
host server blade and integrates with the Insight Manager 7 utility using SNMP
to provide alerts and diagnostics of the system.
1-2 HP ProLiant BL e-Class Integrated Administrator User Guide
HP ProLiant BL e-Class System Software Features
If a server blade does not respond, this feature enables an administrator to initiate
a cold reboot to bring the server blade back online. The Integrated Administrator
can be used to remotely operate a power button of a server blade.
Integrated Administrator is fully accessible by means of Microsoft® Internet
Explorer and Netscape. This capability enables easy access to the features of
Integrated Administrator.
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) or
terminal to the Integrated Administrator’s console (serial) port.
IMPORTANT: With a Telnet session, all dataincluding passwordsare 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 group-centered methodology is designed to
facilitate user management across server blades.
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. All remote console data can be encrypted as well.
Integrated Administrator provides secure password encryption, tracking all login
attempts and maintaining a record of all login failures. 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 Integrated Administrator.
HP ProLiant BL e-Class Integrated Administrator User Guide 1-3
HP ProLiant BL e-Class System Software Features
• 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. 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 enables static IP
configuration.
• • Automatic time configuration (NTP)
Automatic time configuration allows Integrated Administrator to synchronize its
date and time with a server supporting the Network Time Protocol (NTP).
Integration with the Insight Manager 7 utility
Integrated Administrator provides full integration with the Insight Manager 7
utility under key operating environments. This integration provides:
— Support for SNMP management
Support for SNMP trap delivery to a Insight Manager 7 console
— Management processor
The Insight Manager 7 utility adds support for a new device type, the
management processor. All Integrated Administrators (in ProLiant BL
e-Class enclosures) on the network are discovered in the Insight Manager 7
utility as management processors. The management processors are associated
with the server blades they manage.
— Integrated Administrator hyperlinks
The Insight Manager 7 utility provides a hyperlink on the server device page
to launch and connect to Integrated Administrator.
— Grouping of Integrated Administrator processors
All Integrated Administrator management processors can be grouped
together logically and displayed on one page in the Insight Manager 7 utility.
This capability provides access to all Integrated Administrators on the
network from one point in Insight Manager 7.

enclosure. When an event occurs, the Integrated Administrator notifies connected
users by generating an icon that the user can click to view more details.
•
Status Information
The Integrated Administrator enables an enclosure administrator to update the
rack name, enclosure name, asset tag, time zone, date, and time, as well as
observe the status and general information for every component in the enclosure.
Overview of ProLiant BL e-Class Software Tools
ProLiant BL e-Class server blade systems also support the following tools and
utilities 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.
•
Redundant ROM support
Each server blade has two 1-MB ROM images: one of which contains the current
version of the ROM, while the second contains a backup version of the ROM. If
the first ROM becomes corrupt, the system defaults to the backup version,
maximizing uptime and server availability.
•
Headless server operation
ProLiant BL e-Class server blades include VGA, keyboard, mouse, and USB
interfaces; however, these server blades are designed primarily for headless
operation and management with no keyboard or monitor attached.
HP ProLiant BL e-Class Integrated Administrator User Guide 1-5
HP ProLiant BL e-Class System Software Features
• ProLiant Essentials Rapid Deployment Pack (Option)

Reviewing Configuration Tools and Information
The ProLiant BL e-Class 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.
HP ProLiant BL e-Class Integrated Administrator User Guide 2-1
Getting Started
• If the network uses Dynamic DNS or WINS, you can access the Integrated
Administrator using the factory-configured host name.
IMPORTANT: 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 server blade health driver enables the Integrated Administrator to gracefully
power down the server blades and provides the Integrated Administrator with the
name as defined within the operating system of the server blade, thermal
condition, status, and operating system for each server blade.
CAUTION: Without the server blade health driver or an ACPI-compliant operating
system, the Integrated Administrator cannot gracefully shut down a server blade.
This condition may result in the permanent loss of critical data.
Identifying the Integrated Administrator Connectors
Each ProLiant BL e-Class interconnect tray ships with the Integrated Administrator
module already installed and provides external connectivity using two connectors on
the rear panel.
CAUTION: Do not plug anything into the enclosure link connectors. They are

IMPORTANT: The Event List differs from the System Log in the following ways:
• Any user can view the Event List. Only enclosure administrators can access the
System Log.
• The messages in the Event List are limited to cautions and critical failures. Refer to the
enclosure System Log for information on both failures and fixes.
• The Event List only displays messages received since the user logged into the Integrated
Administrator. The System Log displays every message generated by the enclosure
diagnostics.
The Integrated Administrator provides real-time event notifications for an enclosure
according to two categories of severity (caution and critical) described in Table 3-13.
Table 3-13: Event Notification Icons
Icon Description
Caution—An event that does not prevent the enclosure from
operating, maintaining power, or serving its user community
When a caution event occurs, a reasonable guarantee that
operability can persist no longer exists.

Critical—An event that prevents the continued operation of the
enclosure
When a critical event occurs, the inoperability of the enclosure is
imminent .

HP ProLiant BL e-Class Integrated Administrator User Guide 4-1
Command Line Interface
Accessing the Command Line Interface
You can access the CLI remotely through the management (10/100 Ethernet)
connector or locally through the console (serial) connector on the rear panel of the
enclosure.
Accessing Remotely through the Management Connector
To access the Integrated Administrator command line interface remotely through the
management (10/100 Ethernet) connector:
1. Get the default host name from the settings tag attached to the interconnect tray.
2. Open a Telnet or Secure Shell application and enter the IP address or DNS name
for the enclosure you wish to access.
CAUTION: Using Telnet instead of Secure Shell means your remote session,
including password, appears in clear text on that network.
3. Enter the user name and password into the Login prompt.
Accessing Locally through the Console Connector
To access the Integrated Administrator locally through the serial connector:
1. Connect a local client device, such as a laptop computer, to the serial connector
using the null-modem cable that ships with the enclosure.
IMPORTANT: Client devices must satisfy the requirements provided in the “Requirements
for Local Client Devices” section in this chapter.
2. Open the terminal emulator and press the Enter key to get the login prompt.
3. Enter the user name and password.
