PRIMERGY ServerView Suite
integrated Remote Manage-
ment Controller – iRMC
Pages

Extensive remote control with the integrated Remote Management Controller of the new
PRIMERGY server generation (RX/TX 200/300 S3 and subsequent systems)
The iRMC enables extensive control of PRIMERGY servers regardless of the system status – even in out-of-band op-
eration. It integrates the remote management functionality with the basic system management functions on a chip on
the motherboard.
The iRMC is an autonomous system on the systems’ motherboard. It has its own operating system, a Web server, user
administration and alarm management and is also supplied with power when the server is in standby mode. Communi-
cation is carried out via a LAN connection, which can be shared with the system or used exclusively for management
(TX200S3). The iRMC forwards the signals from the keyboard, monitor and mouse (KVM) digitally via IP. Apart from the
free standard functions, an iRMC advanced pack can be purchased and enables graphical console redirection and the
use of remote storage via USB.
The iRMC gives administrators or service technicians access to the server and extensive control, even at decentralized
locations. In the event of server problems, routine tasks and maintenance can be carried out efficiently.
Hardware for remote management
Remote configuration and maintenance minimize time-
consuming and cost-intensive call-outs.
The iRMC permits system control, diagnosis, configuration
and server restarting by remote access via the integrated
Web interface – even if the operating system or hardware
fails. Errors can be analyzed and often also rectified right
away. The system administrator is notified by e-mail or SMS.
The iRMC offers access to remote storage resources (floppy
disk, memory stick, CD/DVD, ISO image) via USB. Genuine
headless system operation without a local mouse and key-
board is supported.
The iRMC communicates directly via I
2
C with the hardware
sensors, such as fans, and not only performs remote man-
agement tasks, but also the functions of a Baseboard Man-
agement Controller (BMC). It is thus able to take over func-
tions such as power management or reading the System Error
and Event Log (SEL) regardless of the system status.
The iRMC offers enhanced security functions, including 128-
bit SSL encryption and efficient user authentication to ensure
maximum security.
