The Sun Blade 8000 Series enables you to easily control and monitor all system management operations at two levels:
Sun Blade Server Module Level. At the Sun Blade Server Module level, you can individually manage system operations by communicating directly with the service processor on each server module. Specific management operations at the Sun Blade Server Module level include:
Viewing applicable environmental sensors
Taking inventory of the blade itself, CPUs, DIMMs, and EMs
Enable the download of SP firmware and BIOS images
Chassis Monitoring Module (CMM) Level. At the chassis monitoring level, you can manage system operations for all shared chassis components by communication directly with the CMM. Chassis-specific management operations include:
Viewing environmental controls of all chassis components
Managing the inventory of hot insertion and removal of chassis components
Drilling-down to blade-level specific settings
Configuring network settings for each blade
Managing power consumption of chassis component
Promoting backup CMM to active state and demoting active CMM to standby state
In addition to administering specific management operations at the blade level and chassis level, you can direct the following common management operations at both levels:
External Management Network Setup/DHCP Client Configurations. Assign an IP address or configure DHCP.
Hardware Monitoring and Management of System. Retrieve information about hardware such as sensors and temperatures.
Event Filtering and Notification. Control the severity of events and event notification settings.
Audit Changes. View a log of changes made to the system configuration.
Role-based User Management. Assign users to roles and manage role-based permission.
LDAP Client Configuration. Configure IP address of LDAP server, authentication setup, and role mapping.
RADIUS Client Configuration. Configure IP address of RADIUS server, authentication key setup, and role mapping.
SNMP Agent Configuration. Configure SNMP user management, community string setup, and trap configuration.
Web Server Configuration. Configure the web server port number and security certificate settings.
Clock or NTP Configuration. Configure the time locally or configure the use of a NTP client.
Event Logs. View multiple classes of logged events, including audit, environmental, and system.
Firmware Upgrade. Upgrade the firmware for ILOM, as needed.
Management of Hot-Insert and Hot-Removal. Manage the inventory of hot-insert and hot-remove system chassis components.
