CHAPTER 1 Product Overview

1.5 Software technologies

1.4.32 Power Consumption Monitoring

The PRIMEQUEST 2000 series supports Power Consumption Monitoring.
Power Consumption Monitoring is a function that displays the power consumption of the main unit and the
PCI_Box of the PRIMEQUEST 2000 series.
Power consumption updated periodically is displayed in the MMB Web-UI. It is linked with the Systemwalker
Centric Manager, which is operation management software, and the power consumption is displayed as a
graph. Therefore, it is to effectively control power consumption of data center.

1.4.33 Power Saving

Power Saving is a function that automatically adjusts the system operation when its power consumption
closes to pre-determined upper limit such that power consumption of the system does not exceed the
maximum value that has been set.
All models of PRIMEQUEST 2000 series supports the Power Saving function.

1.4.34 Agentless Monitoring

Agentless monitoring is supported in the PRIMEQUEST 2000 series.
Agentless monitoring is a function that reduces the use of agent software on OS and monitors the server by
the hardware.
It is necessary to install the SVAS if PCI Express card should be monitored (*1).
*1: SVAS does not monitor SAS RAID controller card. Since BMC firmware and MMB firmware monitor SAS
RAID controller cards, monitoring SAS RAID controller cards can be done without installing SVAS.

1.4.35 LDAP function (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol)

LDAP is a function that you can login MMB by using user accounts which are managed in the directory
service of external LDAP server.
LDAP function (Active Directory) can be available in BA15082, BB15082 or later version of firmware.
LDAP (Novell eDirectory/OpenLDAP/OpenDS/OpenDJ) function can be available in BA15104, BB15104 or
later version of firmware.
