Select the MM Control choices to view and change
the settings or configuration on the management module that you are logged
in to (the primary management module) through the management-module Web interface
session.
If your BladeCenter® unit has a standby management module,
the configuration settings of the primary management module are automatically
transferred to the second management module. This transfer can take up to
45 minutes.
Management-module configuration includes
the following items:
- The name of the management module
- Up to 12 login profiles for logging in to the management module
- Ports that are used by the management module
- How alerts are handled
- The management-module Ethernet connections for remote console and for
communicating with the I/O modules
- Settings for the following protocols:
- Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP)
- Secure Shell (SSH)
- Server Service Location Protocol (SLP)
- Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP)
- Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
- TCP command mode protocol
- Telnet protocol
- Settings for Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Secure Shell (SSH) security
- Security settings such as data encryption and account security
This also includes performing the following
tasks:
- Backing up and restoring the management-module configuration
- Updating the management-module firmware
- Restoring the default configuration
- Restarting the management module
- Switching from the primary management module that is currently active
to the standby management module (for BladeCenter units that support redundant
management modules)
Note: For BladeCenter units with a standby management module, control
automatically switches to the standby management module when the primary management
module fails.
