Displaying Configuration Status - HP Carrier-grade cc2300 User Manual

HP Direct Platform Control Console

Displaying Configuration Status

The Configuration dialog box displays the server's configuration status. You can view this
status information whenever the DPC Console is successfully connected to a managed
server through the Emergency Management Port (EMP) or through a LAN connection.
Information appears in several areas:
Supported Viewers: Status on the FRU, SEL, SDR, and RSA viewers.
Security: Displays the Authentication Level, Activation Mode and Chassis Intrusion
setting.
•
Authentication level: Indicates User or Administrator level. User level exists
if you have an EMP (serial) connection and EMP mode is set to restricted.
User level also exists for LAN connections where a secure session is not
available (e.g. someone else is already connected), or if there is a restricted
LAN access mode. Administrator level exists if you are logged in with
administrative rights.
•
Activation Mode: Indicates whether the server is always active or just during
pre-boot.
•
Chassis Intrusion: Indicates whether intrusion protection is set or not set.
Firmware: Displays the Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) and
Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) revisions on the server.
Aside from these designated areas, the Configuration dialog box also indicates the server's
power state, the operating system (if detected), and the presence of a service partition.
NOTE
In order for DPC Console to detect a connected server's operating system, the server must
have Platform Instrumentation (PI) installed.
