HP Server Remote Management Card Features
and Functions
The HP Server Remote Management Card provides a wealth of server
management features that make it a powerful remote management tool. The HP
Server Remote Management Card works independently of the server's state and
network operating system. An on-board, web-based user interface is accessed via
communications ports (for modem or LAN) that are functionally independent
from the HP Server on which the HP Server Remote Management Card is
installed.
For security reasons, access privileges are mapped to user groups. In the
following chapters, all features and functions are described from an
administrator's point of view. However, subsets of the HP Server Remote
Management Card features and functions are also available for use by operators
and users.
Remote Management
Remote server console redirection. An administrator at a remote client
(connected to the server via a modem and or LAN) can view the server console
screen and take control of the keyboard
server. The HP Server Remote Management Card supports character-based server
console screens. Windows graphics console redirection is supported using
Symantec's pcAnywhere software (included on the HP Netserver Navigator CD).
Remote access to server power functions. An administrator at a remote client
has virtual control of the server's power states. He or she can reset the server with
a graceful shutdown (if the Server SNMP agent software is installed), a reboot, or
a complete power cycle. An administrator can also remotely power off the server
