Lenovo Xclarity Administrator - Lenovo NeXtScale nx360 M5 Installation And Service Manual

• Power throttling
By enforcing a power policy known as power-domain oversubscription, the Lenovo NeXtScale n1200
Enclosure Type 5468 can share the power load between six power supplies to ensure sufficient power for
each device in the Lenovo NeXtScale n1200 Enclosure Type 5468. This policy is enforced when the initial
power is applied to the Lenovo NeXtScale n1200 Enclosure Type 5468 or when a compute node is
inserted into the Lenovo NeXtScale n1200 Enclosure Type 5468.
The following settings for this policy are available:
– Basic power management
– Power module redundancy
– Power module redundancy with compute node throttling allowed

Lenovo XClarity Administrator

Lenovo XClarity Administrator is a centralized, resource-management solution that simplifies infrastructure
management, speeds responses, and enhances the availability of Lenovo® server systems and solutions. It
runs as a virtual appliance that automates discovery, inventory, tracking, monitoring, and provisioning for
Lenovo servers, Flex System servers, and RackSwitch switches in a secure environment.
Lenovo XClarity Administrator provides a central interface to perform the following functions for all managed
endpoints.
• Hardware management
Lenovo XClarity Administrator provides agent-free hardware management. It can automatically discover
manageable endpoints, including Flex System chassis and components, System x, NeXtScale, and
ThinkServer servers, and RackSwitch switches. Inventory of the discovered endpoints is also gathered, so
an at-a-glance view of the managed hardware inventory and status is possible.
• Hardware monitoring
Lenovo XClarity Administrator provides a centralized view of all events and alerts that are generated from
the managed endpoints. When a CMM or IMM detects an issue, an alert or event is passed to the Lenovo
XClarity Administrator and is displayed in the events or alerts log. A summary of all alerts and events is
visible from the Dashboard and the Status bar. Events and alerts for a specific endpoint are available from
the Alerts and Events detail page for that endpoint.
• Operating-system deployment
You can use Lenovo XClarity Administrator to manage the repository of operating-system images and
deploy operating-system images to managed servers.
• Configuration management
You can quickly provision and pre-provision all of your servers using a consistent configuration.
Configuration settings (such as local storage, I/O adapters, boot settings, firmware, ports, and IMM and
UEFI settings) are saved as a server pattern that can be applied to one or more managed servers. When
the server patterns are updated, the changes are automatically deployed to the applied servers.
• Firmware compliance and updates
Firmware management is simplified by assigning firmware-compliance policies to managed endpoints.
When you create and assign a compliance policy to managed endpoints,Lenovo XClarity Administrator
monitors changes to the inventory for those endpoints and flags any endpoints that are out of compliance.
• User management
Lenovo XClarity Administrator provides a centralized authentication server to create and manage user
accounts and to manage and authenticate user credentials. The authentication server is created
automatically when you start the management server for the first time. The user accounts that you create
for Lenovo XClarity Administrator are also used to log in to managed chassis and servers.
