Local Response Agent (LRA) Paging

Platform Instrumentation Control lets you configure the paging features available with Baseboard
Management Controllers (BMC) and Platform Instrumentation (PI). Actual paging activities are
performed by the BMC. If the server hardware does not support LRA, the Paging Configuration
menu item is grayed out.

Initiating a Page

To specify that a page be sent in response to an alert, check the "Send a Page" box in the Alert
Actions dialog for the event.

Paging Configuration

Select Configure->Paging Configuration from the main menu in PIC. This configuration is global
to the server and not sensor-specific—the same page will be sent in response to all events that have
"Send a Page" specified.
The Paging Configuration screen lets you configure the following information:
Global Paging Enabled: This checkbox specifies whether the paging feature is globally enabled
or disabled. If disabled, enabling paging action in the Alert Actions dialog has no effect.
Default Pager #: This is the number paged when a paging action is triggered. If it is blank, no
paging occurs. The Test Page button calls this number.
Enter the full pager number the way it should be dialed, including the initial number if any needs to
be dialed to get a dial tone, commas (',') for pause characters, area code, etc. For example,
"9,6903115" specifies a 9 to dial out, pause, then a local number without area code. After the pager
number, you can include another pause followed by any numeric data to be sent. All numeric data
must be entered in the Pager Number field. For example, you might enter a modem phone number
to dial back, a numeric ID, etc. Alphabetic data is not allowed.
Additional Pager #1 and #2: These are additional pager numbers which are called after the
default pager number when a paging event occurs. Enter all data including the numeric message as
described above. These numbers are not called when the Test Page button is pressed.
To test one of these numbers, you must copy it to the Default Pager # field, then press the Test
Page button.
Repeat Paging: The Repeat Paging feature pages the administrator multiple times in a critical
situation. You may configure both the Repeat Paging Count and the Repeat Paging Interval. The
Number of Pages specifies how many times each pager number will be paged (from 1 to 100). If
you have specified three pager numbers, three times as many pages will be sent.
The Repeat Paging Interval specifies the interval in minutes between each cycle of pages (one cycle
includes sending a page to all configured pager numbers). The Number of Pages defaults to 1, and
if it is set to 1, the Repeat Paging Interval value is not needed. If you set the value of Number of
Pages greater than 1, the Repeat Paging Interval field is enabled. The minimum and default value
of Repeat Paging Interval is one minute. The maximum value is 1440 minutes (24 hours).
