5.8 Managing hp toptools remote control cards
The HP Toptools Remote Control card is an HP server accessory product that provides in-band and out-of-band
management of HP servers, even when a server is down, offline, or ‘hung’. The card installs into a slot within the
server and provides both a serial and ethernet interface.
HP Toptools 5.6 for Unicenter provides the following for the HP Toptools Remote Control card:
• Automatic discovery and classification
• Placement within the server submap that physically contains it
• HP Toptools actions to manage both the card and the server
• Event management through DSM
During platform bridge discovery, cards and their host servers are identified. Once reclassification has completed,
the cards are moved into the submaps of the servers that contain them. Figure 5-23 depicts the card pc051 which is
installed into the server PC046.
