The Lenovo Partner Pack for VMware vCenter program provides detailed system information about the
managed servers of your ThinkServer server in the VMware virtualized environment. The system
information includes the inventory and status of components such as microprocessors, memory modules,
fans, and temperature sensors. The program enables users to perform tasks such as launching a remote
console and accessing the Thinkserver Management Module (TMM) interface. The program also provides
an easy way to update the firmware and send e-mail alerts to related recipients when certain events are
detected. For detailed information about using the program, refer to the help system of the program.
• Lenovo ThinkServer Power Planner
The Lenovo Thinkserver Power Planner program provides information about the power consumption and
electric current calculation based on the different configurations of servers and other devices. The
program also helps to plan servers and devices deployment in an efficient way. For detailed information
about using the Lenovo ThinkServer Power Planner program, refer to the help system of the program.
• Lenovo XClarity Administrator
Lenovo XClarity Administrator is a centralized resource-management solution that enables administrators
to deploy infrastructure faster and with less effort. The solution seamlessly integrates into System x,
ThinkServer, and NeXtScale servers, as well as the Flex System converged infrastructure platform.
Lenovo XClarity Administrator provides:
– Automated discovery
– Agent-free hardware management
– Monitoring
Administrators are able to find the right information and accomplish critical tasks faster through an
uncluttered, dashboard-driven graphical user interface (GUI). Centralizing and automating foundational
infrastructure deployment and lifecycle management tasks across large pools of systems frees up
administrator time, and makes resources available to end-users faster.
Lenovo XClarity is easily extended into the leading virtualization management platforms from Microsoft
and VMware using software plug-ins, called Lenovo XClarity Integrators. The solution improves workload
uptime and service-level assurance by dynamically relocating workloads from affected hosts in the cluster
during rolling server reboots or firmware updates, or during predicted hardware failures.
