Intel Server Control Installation Guide Intel® Server Control This guide explains how to install and launch the Intel® Server Control (ISC) software. ISC is a server management tool that provides real time monitoring and alerting for server hardware, emergency remote management and remote server setup. ISC is implemented using a client-server architecture and has been developed for the HP Carrier Grade cc2300 and cc3300 servers.
Intel Server Control Installation Guide Red Hat Linux 7.1 Requirements If you intend to manage a Linux file server, it must meet the following minimum requirements: • • • Linux Red Hat 7.1 or Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS 2.1 operating system running multipleprocessor kernel 32 MB of RAM 60 MB of available disk space Additional Requirements for DMI-SNMP Translation Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) support must be installed if you want to integrate ISC with an SNMP-based management framework.
Intel Server Control Installation Guide Service Partition The service partition is a special hard disk partition. The service partition has been installed on the HP Carrier Grade cc2300 and cc3300 Servers. The service partition size is 40Mbytes. The service partition contains utilities and other software required for remote management. The service partition is not marked as an active partition and the server will only boot from it by a special request.
Intel Server Control Installation Guide CAUTION To prevent data loss, do not attempt to run the installation utility from any device other than the HP Server cc3300 & cc2300 User Information, Diagnostics and Utilities Resource CD 1. Disable all system features that prevent writing to the hard drive boot sector. 2. Insert the HP Server cc3300 & cc2300 User Information, Diagnostics & Utilities Resource CD into the CD drive. 3. Restart the server. 4.
Intel Server Control Installation Guide • • • Locally Remotely using the DPC Console Manager Remotely using Client SSU Locally Booting the Server from the Service Partition Depending on the server platform, the BIOS may give you an option to directly boot the Service Partition at startup. If not, you can boot the Service Partition by making a change in BIOS Setup. 1. Restart the server. 2. If you see a message like "press F2 to enter Setup, press F4 to boot the Service Partition", simply press F4.
Intel Server Control Installation Guide 10. Select “Run System Setup Utility” under the “Utilities” menu. You will see SSU executables installed the first time and then the Server SSU launches. 11. In the Available Tasks list select Platform Event Manager and click OK. 12. Click the Configure EMP button. 13. Enter the following in the Emergency Management Port (EMP) dialog box: Option Entry Enter New Password: Enter the EMP password (if required), up to 16 characters.
Intel Server Control Installation Guide 10. Select “Run System Setup Utility” under the “Utilities” menu. You will see SSU executables installed the first time and then the Server SSU launches. 11. In the Available Tasks list select Platform Event Manager and click OK. 12. Click the Configure LAN button. 13. Enter the following on the BMC LAN Configuration (LAN) dialog box: Option Entry Enable LAN Alerts: Click to enable BMC LAN-alerts (optional).
Intel Server Control Installation Guide Using the Direct Platform Control (DPC) Console 1. Connect to the appropriate server. 2. Select Reboot Service Partition from the Action menu. Using the Client System Setup Utility (CSSU) Select (Re)Connect from the Server menu. Enabling LAN Events LAN Events are disabled by default and need to be enabled during cc2300/cc3300 server setup. LAN events are passed to the LAN Event Viewer software on the client. 1.
Intel Server Control Installation Guide Installing Intel® Server Control (ISC) Managed Server Preparation ISC uses the event-logging feature of the BIOS for system management status and information. To enable this feature for each server to be managed with ISC, you must boot the server(s) using the System Setup Utility (SSU) and set the appropriate options under System Management Options.
Intel Server Control Installation Guide Windows 2000 Advanced Server • • Connect as a user with supervisor rights or administrator when installing ISC to a Windows 2000 Advanced server. The ISC installation program automatically reboots both remote and local servers as necessary (only Windows 2000 Advanced Server can be automatically rebooted).
Intel Server Control Installation Guide ISC Installation Procedure for Linux Red Hat 7.1 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS 2.1 There are three steps to the Linux Red Hat installation process: • • • Installing Linux DMI server provider Installing ISC Configuring the SNMP_DMI mapper Installing Linux DMI Service Provider 1. Insert the HP Server cc3300 & cc2300 User Information, Diagnostics & Utilities Resource CD into the Linux server CD ROM drive. 2.
Intel Server Control Installation Guide NOTE If you uninstall ucd-snmp, you must also remove all related snmp and DMI packages. When you remove these packages, remove them in an order that eliminates dependency error messages. For example, if a dependency error message appears, remove the package mentioned in the error message. Continue removing the dependent packages in this manner until the error messages stop. 4.
Intel Server Control Installation Guide 3. Run the ISC install script from the directory you listed in the previous step by entering the following command at the command-line prompt: ./installme 4. Follow the instructions on your screen. The script prompts you to read and accept a license agreement. Next, the ISC install program determines the version of the Red Hat Linux kernel running on your server and installs the right version of the IPMI driver on your server.
Intel Server Control Installation Guide Intel Server Control H-P Network Node Manager The H-P Network Node Manager Console autodetects servers running the ISC Server Instrumentation software. The Console updates the server bitmap with an ISC server icon for those servers. To launch the ISC applet, select an ISC-enabled server on the H-P Console network map, and then select the “Intel Server Control Applet” option from the Tools Menu.
