The following topics contain information about the structure
and content of the management-module web interface for all management-module
types:
See Using the management-module web interface for
information about using the management-module web interface to perform selected
functions.
The web-based user interface communicates with
the management and configuration program that is part of the firmware that
comes with the management module. You can use this program to perform the
following tasks:
- Defining the login IDs and passwords.
- Configuring security settings such as data encryption and user account
security.
- Selecting recipients for alert notification of specific events.
- Monitoring the status of the BladeCenter unit, blade servers,
and other BladeCenter components.
- Discovering other BladeCenter units on the network and enabling access
to them through their management-module web interfaces.
- Controlling the BladeCenter unit, blade servers, and other BladeCenter
components.
- Accessing the I/O modules to configure them.
- Changing the startup sequence in a blade server.
- Setting the date and time.
- Using a remote console for the blade servers.
- Changing ownership of the keyboard, video, and mouse.
- Changing ownership of the removable-media drives and USB ports. (The removable-media drives in the BladeCenter unit
are viewed as USB devices by the blade server operating system.)
- Setting the active color of the critical (CRT) and major (MJR) alarm LEDs
(for BladeCenter T units only).
You also can use the management-module web interface, SNMP, SMASH, and
the management-module command-line interface to view some of the blade server
configuration settings. For more information, see the information in this
chapter and the documentation for the management method that you are using.
