Features
The HP ProLiant BL e-Class system offers an extensive set of features and optional
tools to support effective server management and software deployment. This chapter
describes the Integrated Administrator and provides a brief overview of software
associated with the system.
ProLiant BL e-Class Integrated Administrator
The Integrated Administrator is a centralized management and monitoring system for
the ProLiant BL e-Class enclosure and server blades. The Integrated Administrator
acts as a combination terminal server and remote power controller, enabling
out-of-band, secure, serial console connections to all server blades in the enclosure.
The ProLiant BL e-Class Integrated Administrator is a standard component of
ProLiant BL e-Class systems. The Integrated Administrator provides enclosure
health, server blade health, and remote server manageability. Integrated
Administrator features are accessed from any network-based client. The Integrated
Administrator provides remote access to any authorized network client, sends alerts,
and provides many other server blade management functions.
The Integrated Administrator subsystem is embedded on a module included with
each interconnect tray and includes an intelligent microprocessor, secure memory,
and a dedicated network interface. This design makes the Integrated Administrator
independent of the host server and its operating system.
