RDM for BladeCenter
BladeCenter can use RDM, which enables the configuration and deployment of LS21 and LS41
for BladeCenter blade servers within a single BladeCenter. This highly flexible and powerful tool
enables you to deploy system images that include the operating system and configuration detail
to one or more blade servers at one time from an IBM Director console on the network.
With RDM you can:
•
Add instructions for loading firmware or specific operating systems
•
Deploy multiple blade servers in a BladeCenter at one time
•
Store various images on the RDM server for target server installations
•
Restore an initial or incremental disk image locally with a few keystrokes
•
Use drop-and-drag to deploy images
BladeCenter management module
Use the management module in the BladeCenter to manage the BladeCenter and obtain vital
system information about your installed LS21 or LS41 for BladeCenter servers. The
management module communicates with the blade servers within the BladeCenter through an
RS-485 intermanagement network. This network relays vital information about individual blade
servers, such as:
•
Temperature
•
Voltages
•
Power supply status
•
Memory status
•
Fan status
•
HDD status
•
Error and status log
You receive status and control all blade servers within the BladeCenter. You can shut down and
restart any blade server from anywhere on the network to help save time and costs associated
with travel to the actual installation.
These manageability functions are provided through a self-contained Web page, creating an
easy and familiar way for administrators to monitor, control, and maintain high availability.
