Hcsm Linkage - Hitachi COMPUTE BLADE 500 SERIES Management Module Setup Manual

HCSM linkage

Hitachi Compute Systems Manager (hereinafter called HCSM) is software,
which provides operation function for server chassis in a large scale system.
System administrator can use HCSM for the system management for
managing hardware resources, monitoring operation, performing N+M cold
standby, controlling power consumption, and operating hardware.
Management modules communicate with HCSM through management
interfaces. You can select either IPv4 or IPv6 communication.
Note:
• If you select IPv6 communication, specify static address in the IPv6
settings for the management interfaces of the management modules. In
addition, from HCSM, search for the static address of the management
modules.
• If you select IPv6 communication, disable the stateless addresses of
management modules and server blades.
Communication between HCSM and management modules, using two-way
paths, provides the system administrator with management function.
Send Command
HCSM uses this for sending processing commands to a management module.
Using HTTPS protocol can prevent tapping and tampering of communication
data.
Send alert
Management modules use this to notify events occurred in the system unit to
HCSM. Using SSL/TLS protocol can prevent tapping and tampering of
communication data.
Up to four HCSMs can link to a management module.
