Intel Server Control Installation Guide
Intel® Server Control
This guide explains how to install and launch the Intel® Server Control (ISC) software. ISC is a
server management tool that provides real time monitoring and alerting for server hardware,
emergency remote management and remote server setup.
ISC is implemented using a client-server architecture and has been developed for the HP Carrier
Grade cc2300 and cc3300 servers. Servers can be managed by the client through a LAN, a direct
RS-232 serial connection or a RS-232 connection through a modem.
The Direct Platform Control (DPC) component of ISC accesses system log and sensor information
through the Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) independent of the cc2300 or cc3300
operating system. The server needs to be powered up for DPC access through LAN or RS-232.
The Platform Instrumentation Control (PIC) accesses system log and sensor information online by
utiltizing the cc2300 or cc3300 operating system. The server’s operating system needs to be booted
to run PIC. PIC is accessed through LAN or RS-232.
System Requirements Overview
ISC contains two parts:
• ISC Console Software
• ISC Server Instrumentation Software
The ISC console software is installed on a client. The ISC server instrumentation software is
installed on the HP Carrier Grade cc2300/cc3300 Servers.
ISC Console Software allows interaction with the managed server. It can be installed on these
system (client) configurations:
• Windows NT 4.0 server, Enterprise Edition, Service Pack 6a
• Windows NT Workstation, Service Pack 6a
• Windows 2000 Advanced Server, Service Pack 2
• Windows 2000 Professional, Service Pack 2
ISC Server Instrumentation Software, when installed on the cc2300 or cc3300 servers, creates a
managed server that can be managed from the system (client) running ISC Console Software. ISC
is supported on:
• Windows 2000 Server (Service Pack 2).
• Linux RedHat 7.1
Windows 2000 Requirements
• Windows 2000 Advanced Server (Service Pack 2)
• 64 MB of RAM
• 60 MB of available disk space
• SNMP service installed (required only for connectivity to an SNMP management console)

Red Hat Linux 7.1 Requirements
If you intend to manage a Linux file server, it must meet the following minimum requirements:
• Linux Red Hat 7.1 or Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS 2.1 operating system running multipleprocessor kernel
• 32 MB of RAM
• 60 MB of available disk space
Additional Requirements for DMI-SNMP Translation
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) support must be installed if you want to integrate
ISC with an SNMP-based management framework. On the managed server, you should consider
the following issues when configuring SNMP:
• Community string names for SNMP Get and Set operations
• Community string names for sending traps
• The destination address for the management console receiving the traps
On the management console, you should consider the following issues when configuring SNMP:
• Compiling the MIBs into the SNMP management consoles
• Integration of ISC traps into SNMP management consoles
Console Requirements Overview
ISC Console Software can integrate into an Enterprise System Management Console or it can be
installed on a stand-alone console. The supported Enterprise System Management Consoles are:
1. H-P OpenView
2. Intel
®
LANDesk® Server Manager 6.1
1. CA UnicenterTNG
Console System requirements may be different when using one of the supported management
applications. Please refer to their installation requirements for additional information.
You can use the ISC stand-alone console to manage ISC-enabled servers without Enterprise System
Management. The ISC Console is implemented as an ActiveX
container or a third party container application (e.g., Microsoft Management Console, Internet
†
Explorer
v5.6, or Netscape Navigator† v6.0 with ActiveX plug-in).
• Windows 2000 Advanced Server
®
• Intel
Pentium® microprocessor or higher
• At least 64 MB of RAM
• At least 10 MB of available disk space
• Microsoft Windows-compatible modem must be used if you connect to the server by modem

Service Partition
The service partition is a special hard disk partition. The service partition has been installed on the
HP Carrier Grade cc2300 and cc3300 Servers. The service partition size is 40Mbytes.
The service partition contains utilities and other software required for remote management. The
service partition is not marked as an active partition and the server will only boot from it by a
special request. It is not normally visible to the server user because it has a special non-standard
partition type that does not appear as an accessible file system to the end user operating system.
However, low-level disk utilities may see the partition entry as an EISA partition, and recognize its
space.
The utilities on the service partition can be run locally or remotely. In order to run the utilities the
server must boot from the service partition. Remote execution is available from the Direct Platform
Control (DPC) Console Manager and the Client System Setup Utility (CSSU).
Service Partition Installation
It is recommended that you install the service partition:
• On a clean hard drive with no partitions defined.
• Before installing any operating system.
The service partition should not be installed if the operating system has already been loaded. The
operating system may not boot if the service partition is installed after operating system installation.
Some hard drives may have free entries in the partition table with 40MB of available space.
Utilizing the freeentry is not recommended. .
Requirements
• The service partition can be on any of the first 4 BIOS-supported physical hard drives.
• Service partition hard drives must support BIOS 22.
• Current BIOS must be installed.
• Remove old service partitions and create the new service partition with a current HP Server
cc3300 & cc2300 User Information, Diagnostics & Utilities Resource CD .
• At least 40 MB of unused (not partitioned) hard drive space is required. On large hard drives
this unused space must be within the first 8 GB.
NOTE
There are commercial utilities that can resize existing partitions to free space
if more is needed. Alternately, you can add a low capacity hard drive for the
service partition.
This procedure is for installing the service partition on unpartitioned hard drive only.
