Hp Onboard Administrator - HP 2000sa Deployment Manual

HP Onboard Administrator

HP BladeSystem Onboard Administrator (OA) is the enclosure management processor, subsystem,
and firmware base used to support the HP BladeSystem c-Class enclosures and the managed
devices contained within the enclosure.
OA provides a single point from which to perform basic management tasks on server blades or
switches within the c-Class enclosure. Using the pre-configured hardware parameters, OA performs
initial configuration steps for the enclosure, allows for run-time management and configuration of
the enclosure components, and informs you of problems within the enclosure through e-mail, SNMP,
or the Insight Display For more Information about using OA, see the HP BladeSystem Onboard
Administrator User Guide.
The following image shows the Rack Topology view of the front and rear of a c7000 enclosure,
with the primary navigation tree on the left-side of the display. As shown in this example, half-height
server blades are installed in device bays 1–8, and the two HP 3Gb SAS BL Switches are installed
in interconnect bays 5 and 6.
