5. Precautions for Use
5.1 Installation
-- Server Configuration Utility Installer (Windows & Linux) cannot downgrade to the older version. If you
want to use the older version, uninstall the current version and then install older version.
Note: All the registered information will be deleted as the result of the uninstalling.
5.2 General settings of EXPRESSSCOPE Engine 3
-- When you apply the configuration parameters, it may take time to complete the configuration of the BMC
firmware depending on the settings. The following message will be displayed during the application,
please wait one minute from several tens of seconds.
- Windows / Linux : Applying the parameters.
- Off-line TOOL : Updating the parameters.
5.3 HTTP / HTTPS settings
-- HTTP alone cannot be set to "Enable". When HTTP is set to "Enable", HTTPS is also set to "Enable"
automatically.
5.4 Redirection setting
-- If Redirection of Management Software setting in Miscellaneous is applied to "Enable", the Value of after
rebooting of BIOS Redirection Port in BIOS Console Redirection Configuration is set to "Serial Port B".
5.5 PEF setting and SNMP Alert setting
-- If Platform Event Filter in Miscellaneous is applied to "Disable", SNMP Alert is set to "Disable". And if
SNMP Alert is applied to "Enable", Platform Event Filter is set to "Enable".
5.6 Alert form BMC
-- In the case that the item "Alert" is enabled, BMC will alert directly to the specified alert receiver when the
event specified in Alert Level is occurred. If NEC ESMPRO Manager or NEC ESMPRO Manager
Association Module is installed on the alert receiver, the SNMP alert from BMC is registered on Alert
Manager.
-- Sending the alert from BMC depends on exist of NEC ESMPRO Agent.
(1) In the case of NEC ESMPRO Agent has been installed on the managed server.
If OS does not run on the managed server, BMC send the alert when the specified event happens.
After OS runs and NEC ESMPRO Agent starts, BMC does not send the alert even if the event happens,
because NEC ESMPRO Agent sends the alert.
(2) In the case of NEC ESMPRO Agent has not been installed on the managed server.
BMC sends the alert whenever the specified event happens.
5.7 Alert Test
-- Please send a test alert after completing all the settings of the Alert Configuration. You may be unable to
use the alert function due to network environment and settings.
53
Server Configuration Utility User's Guide
5.8 ECO setting
-- The electric power value might not necessarily reach even the value of Power Threshold. The electric
power control lowers the power consumption of the system by lowering the frequency of CPU/Memory.
When CPU/Memory Throttling value reaches 100%, the electric power value does not fall any more.
-- The server may not boot correctly if you configure too low value to the Aggressive Mode "Power
Threshold(Pa)" and enable the Shutdown System option. When validating this setup, it is reco mmended to
fully consider the value of "Power Threshold(Pa)" to be specified.
5.9 Management LAN setting
-- When set to "Shared BMC LAN", the management LAN port is disabled.
-- When set to "Shared BMC LAN", the network performance may be reduced because the data of both
LANs must be transmitted or received.
5.10 Default setting
-- Please refer to the appropriate EXPRESSSCOPE Engine User's Guide about differences between BMC
Configuration's default values and values which "BMC Configuration Initialization" function will set.
5.11 Key input
-- If you select the keyboard type "Japanese" in Off-line TOOL startup, you are not able to enter the key of
"¥", "|" and "_".
-- In Server Configuration Utility for Windows, if you want to apply a string containing "%", you must
specify "%%" instead of "%".
