Managing the Lightspeed Live Server

IPMI View management software provides remote network management of one or
more Lightspeed or Lightspeed Live servers using IPMI messages over Ethernet LAN or
a dedicated IPMI LAN. If your Lightspeed Ethernet connectors are used to connect to
storage, you can use the IPMI LAN connector to create an IPMI network among your
Lightspeed servers.
