Chapter4 EM Card and Chassis Management

4.1 Overview

The NEC ESMPRO Manager has following functions by communication with the EM card in a blade enclosure,

Information Collection

NEC ESMPRO Manager collects the status and the information of the blade enclosure as follows.

-- Blade / EM Card / Switch Module List If the slot state of CPU blade, EM card or switch module is changed, NEC ESMPRO Manager collects current slot state.

-- Chassis Information NEC ESMPRO Manager collects the blade enclosure name, the name and ID of the rack in which the blade enclosure is installed.

-- EM Card / Switch Module Status NEC ESMPRO Manager obtains the STATUS Lamp of the EM card and the switch module.

Component Monitoring

NEC ESMPRO Manager always monitors the slot state in the blade enclosure and the STATUS Lamp of the EM card and the Switch Module. When some slot state change or failure occurs, NEC ESMPRO Manager notifies the operator.

CPU Blade Auto Setting

When NEC ESMPRO Manager detects new CPU blade installed on the blade enclosure, the NEC ESMPRO Manager configures BMC on the CPU blade (managed component) through the EM card to control the managed component remotely. NEC ESMPRO Manager also registers the managed component for its own, and execute the "Check Connection".

4.2 System Requirements

NEC ESMPRO Manager can manage the following EM card.

Hardware

EM card that is listed "Appendix D. Managed Components Summary".

 Communication Medium

TCP/IP network

CHECK:

・NEC ESMPRO Agent Extension and NEC DianaScope Agent cannot be installed on

EM card.

NEC ESMPRO Manager Setup Guide

4.3 Setup for EM Card

4.3.1 Setup Flow

Perform the following setup procedure:

Connect the NEC ESMPRO Manager s erver and the EM card.

Setup EM card for communication with NEC ESMPRO Manager.

4.3.2 Setup EM Card for communication with NEC ESMPRO Manager Setup the EM Card as follows. See Users Guide that attached to EM Card for detail.

Set the IP address of the EM Card.

CHECK:

・The IP address set on the EM card should be the value that can be divided by 4. If the

IP address be set other value, NEC ESMPRO Manager will fail "Check Connection". NEC ESMPRO Manager communicates to the EM card with the "fixed IP address".

Setup EM Card for communication with NEC ESMPRO Manager. Use setdsl command for SIGMABLADE-M. Use SET DSGPASSWORD and SET DSGSTATE command for SIGMABLADE-H.

4.3.3 Register EM Card on NEC ESMPRO Manager

You can register the EM card with similar way of registering the ordinary managed component. Use either of the two methods to register EM card.

Manual Registration

This method requires the operator to directly enter the EM card's information such as the IP address and to perform "Check Connection".

Auto Registration

This method automatically searches the network for managed components and EM card that are not registered yet on the NEC ESMPRO Manager, and registers them.

TIPS:

・NEC ESMPRO Manager distinguishes the EM card from ordinary managed

component by "Check Connection". After "Check Connection" of the EM card is completed, Information of the blade enclosure (chassis) is displayed on the "Chassis List" on the NEC ESMPRO Manager. The chassis name on the NEC ESMPRO Manager is set to the first 16 characters of the blade enclosure name. If the same name is already registered, some number is added to the name. You can change the chassis name on "Chassis Information".
