NEC DianaScope Manager/Agent
NEC DianaScope provides remote control capability to enable you to reduce operational and
management costs.
NEC DianaScope basically comprises “NEC DianaScope Manager,” which operates on the
management PC (called the “NEC DianaScope server”), and “NEC DianaScope Agent,” which
operates on the servers being managed. (A management PC connected via a network port is also used.)
NEC DianaScope Manager communicates with EM cards in a Blade enclosure to collect information
and monitor embedded modules.
For instructions on how to install, configure, and operate NEC DianaScope, refer to NEC
DianaScope‟s Installation Instructions and the User‟s Guides and Instruction Manuals for the CPU
Blades.
NEC DianaScope Manager and NEC DianaScope Agent are distributed from the following website.
You can download and use it from the site. (Before installing, check the details in “Installation

You can check the IP addresses of EM cards with the CLI “SET NETWORK
