This guide provides an end-to-end example for how to use .
Describes the Fujitsu M10 Server.
You can use to manage and monitor a variety of data center assets, including server hardware, chassis, racks, network equipment, operating systems, virtualization software, and clustering software. Discovering and managing your assets is a prerequisite for almost every action in the software. The discovery feature makes adding assets quick and easy. You discover assets using a profile, which specifies the targets, protocols, and credentials for accessing and managing the assets.
The Fujitsu M10 Server is a sun4v SPARC enterprise server powered by the SPARC64 X processor developed by Fujitsu. A SPARC64 X processor offers 16 cores x 2 threads. These servers are categorized under the M-series servers.
The following scenario is applicable to all three models of the Fujitsu M10 Server:
M10-1, one CPU socket server with no building block capability.
M10-4, four CPU sockets server with no building block capability.
M10-4S, four CPU sockets server with building block capability, offering scalability of up to 16 building blocks.
A building block consists of 4 CPU sockets, several memory DIMMs, and IO devices. The M10-4S model supports up to 16 building blocks, which translate to a maximum of 64 CPU sockets.
The Fujitsu M10 Servers are discovered through an eXtended Service Control Facility (XSCF) Service Processor.
Requirements for discovering a Fujitsu M10 Server in Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center.
Access to a system running Enterprise Manager Ops Center.
Ops Center Admin
role to discover assets, and Ops Center Security Admin
role to create credentials in Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center.
One or more Fujitsu M10 Servers with configured XSCF service processors.
XSCF SSH or Telnet credentials.
The correct IP Address for the XSCF Service Processor. If the M10 server has redundant XSCFs, you must use the takeover IP address between the master and standby XSCFs.
Lists the procedures for discovering and managing a Fujitsu M10 Server in Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center.
You can discover a Fujitsu M10 Server with a configured service processor using a discovery profile. A discovery profile is a combination of an asset type, a set of host names or IP addresses, and a set of credentials.
Perform the following steps to discover a Fujitsu M10 Server:
Lists the procedures for configuring SNMP in Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center.
SNMP Traps are disabled by default on XSCF. You must enable SNMP Traps before discovering a server. The following procedures describe how to verify and change the SNMP settings on the XSCF console.
Procedure for showing the current state of SNMP.
To verify if SNMP is disabled:
platadm
privileges.showsnmp
command.Agent
and Trap Hosts
. If Agent Status
is Disabled
and the value for Trap Hosts
is None
, enable SNMP on XSCF.Procedure for allowing SNMP actions in Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center.
For more information about XSCF settings on the M10 server, go to the Fujitsu website listed in Related Articles and Resources.
Lists the types of credentials Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center uses to discover the XSCF service processor.
Assets are discovered using a set of credentials. Based on the choice of server type, Enterprise Manager Ops Center displays only those protocols that are relevant to the asset. To discover an XSCF service processor, SSH or TELNET credentials are required.
Procedure for creating SSH credentials in Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center.
Use XSCF SSH credentials to discover XSCF service processors.
To create SSH credentials, perform the following steps:
Procedure for specifying how Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center discovers the XSCF service processor.
Discovery profiles simplify managing multiple sets of discovery criteria and offer persistent storage of access credentials. You can create a discovery profile and then run a discovery using the profile. You can provide discovery information such as the discovery credentials during profile creation or when the profile is run.
Perform the following steps to create a discovery profile for an XSCF service processor:
Procedure for discovering the Fujitsu M10 Server using a discovery profile in Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center.
After you have created the discovery profile, you can use it to discover and manage a Fujitsu M10 Server.
In this example, the XSCF service processor discovery profile is used.
Describes the current state of the Fujitsu M10 Server when the procedures are completed.
After you have discovered the Fujitsu M10 Server, you can manage and monitor the hardware asset. You can also discover and manage the operating system on the hardware.
