Lenovo XClarity Administrator

Lenovo XClarity Administrator is a centralized, resource-management solution that simplifies infrastructure management, speeds responses, and enhances the availability of Lenovo® server systems and solutions. It runs as a virtual appliance that automates discovery, inventory, tracking, monitoring, and provisioning for Lenovo servers, Flex System servers, and RackSwitch switches in a secure environment.
Lenovo XClarity Administrator provides a central interface to perform the following functions for all managed endpoints.
Hardware management Lenovo XClarity Administrator provides agent-free hardware management. It can automatically discover
manageable endpoints, including Flex System chassis and components, System x, NeXtScale, and ThinkServer servers, and RackSwitch switches. Inventory of the discovered endpoints is also gathered, so an at-a-glance view of the managed hardware inventory and status is possible.
Hardware monitoring Lenovo XClarity Administrator provides a centralized view of all events and alerts that are generated from
the managed endpoints. When a CMM or IMM detects an issue, an alert or event is passed to the Lenovo XClarity Administrator and is displayed in the events or alerts log. A summary of all alerts and events is visible from the Dashboard and the Status bar. Events and alerts for a specific endpoint are available from the Alerts and Events detail page for that endpoint.
Operating-system deployment You can use Lenovo XClarity Administrator to manage the repository of operating-system images and
deploy operating-system images to managed servers.
Configuration management You can quickly provision and pre-provision all of your servers using a consistent configuration.
Configuration settings (such as local storage, I/O adapters, boot settings, firmware, ports, and IMM and UEFI settings) are saved as a server pattern that can be applied to one or more managed servers. When the server patterns are updated, the changes are automatically deployed to the applied servers.
Firmware compliance and updates Firmware management is simplified by assigning firmware-compliance policies to managed endpoints.
When you create and assign a compliance policy to managed endpoints,Lenovo XClarity Administrator monitors changes to the inventory for those endpoints and flags any endpoints that are out of compliance.
User management Lenovo XClarity Administrator provides a centralized authentication server to create and manage user
accounts and to manage and authenticate user credentials. The authentication server is created automatically when you start the management server for the first time. The user accounts that you create for Lenovo XClarity Administrator are also used to log in to managed chassis and servers.
Chapter 1. The Lenovo NeXtScale nx360 M5 water-cooled technology tray Type 5467, Lenovo NeXtScale n1200 Enclosure Types 5468
and 5469

Security If your environment must comply with either NIST SP 800-131A or FIPS 140-2 standards, Lenovo XClarity
Administrator can help you achieve a fully compliant environment. It supports self-signed SSL certificates (which are issued by an internal certificate authority) and external SSL certificates (which are issued by a private or commercial CA). Firewalls on chassis and servers can be configured to accept incoming requests from only Lenovo XClarity Administrator.
Service and support Lenovo XClarity Administrator can be set up to collect and send diagnostic files automatically to your
preferred service provider when certain serviceable events occur in Lenovo XClarity Administrator and the managed endpoints. You can choose to send diagnostic files to Lenovo Support using call home or to another service provider using SFTP. You can also manually collect diagnostic files, open a problem record, and send diagnostic files to the Lenovo Support Center.
Task automation using scripts Lenovo XClarity Administrator can be integrated into external, higher-level management and automation
platforms through open REST application programming interfaces (APIs). Using the REST APIs, Lenovo XClarity Administrator can easily integrate with your existing management infrastructure. You can also run Lenovo XClarity cmdlets in a Microsoft PowerShell session to automate certain management functions. The cmdlets use Lenovo XClarity Administrator REST APIs and can automate functions
Integration with other management software Lenovo XClarity Administrator is available stand-alone or as a bundled offering that is known asLenovo
XClarity Pro. Lenovo XClarity Pro is composed of the base Administrator product plus two Lenovo XClarity Integrator modules that provide integration into Microsoft Systems Center or VMware vCenter. Together, these tools provide discovery, monitoring, configuration, and management functions to reduce the cost and complexity of routine system administration for System x, NeXtScale, and Flex System endpoints.
More information about Lenovo XClarity Administrator is available at http://shop.lenovo.com/us/en/systems/ software/systems-management/xclarity/.

Lit continuously: The water-cooled technology tray is connected to power through the Lenovo NeXtScale n1200 Enclosure Type 5468 and is turned on.
When the water-cooled technology tray is on, pressing this button causes an orderly shutdown of the water-cooled technology tray so that it can be removed safely from the chassis. This includes shutting down the operating system (if possible) and removing power from the water-cooled technology tray.
If an operating system is running, you might have to press the button for approximately 4 seconds to initiate the shutdown.
Attention: Pressing the button for 4 seconds forces the operating system to shut down immediately. Data loss is possible.
Locator LED
Use this blue LED to visually locate the server among other servers. This LED is used as a presence detection as well. You can use Systems Director or IMM web interface to light this LED remotely. This LED is controlled by the IMM.
Check log LED
When this yellow LED is lit, it indicates that a system error has occurred. Check the “Event logs” on page 62 for additional information.
System error LED
When this yellow LED is lit, it indicates that a system error has occurred. An LED on the system board is also lit to help isolate the error. This LED is controlled by the IMM.
KVM connector
Connect the console breakout cable to this connector.
Note: It is best practice to connect the console breakout cable to only one water-cooled technology tray at a time in each Lenovo NeXtScale n1200 Enclosure Type 5468.
Ethernet connectors
Use either of these connectors to connect the server to a network. When you enable shared Ethernet for IMM2.1 in the Setup utility, you can access the IMM2.1 using either the Ethernet 1 or the system­management Ethernet (default) connector. See Using the Setup utility for more information.
Ethernet link activity/status LED
When any of these LEDs is lit, they indicate that the server is transmitting to or receiving signals from the Ethernet LAN that is connected to the Ethernet port that corresponds to that LED.
Management connector
Use this connector to connect the server to a network for full systems-management information control. This connector is used only by the Integrated Management Module 2.1 (IMM2.1). A dedicated management network provides additional security by physically separating the management network traffic from the production network. You can use the Setup utility to configure the server to use a dedicated systems management network or a shared network.
