SNMP alerts from Integrated Administrator to a management console

The Integrated Administrator provides notification of enclosure problems. Using a management console,
you can access various alerts, such as unauthorized access attempts and network connection failures
using SNMP traps.

E-mail alerts from Integrated Administrator to an e-mail account (AlertMail)

AlertMail enables the Integrated Administrator to send system events by email instead of using SNMP
traps. AlertMail is completely independent of SNMP, and both can be enabled at the same time. AlertMail
uses standard SMTP commands to communicate with any SMTP capable mail server or SMTP relay
agent.

Remote access and control

The Integrated Administrator provides remote functionality to access a limited text-only console of the
host blade PC, change the state of the Unit Identification LED on an enclosure or any of its blade PCs,
and power up, power down, or reboot a blade PC or groups of blade PCs.
The Integrated Administrator displays alerts regardless of the state of the user's host blade PC and
integrates with the HP Systems Insight Manager utility using SNMP to provide alerts and diagnostics of
the system.
If a blade PC does not respond, this feature enables an administrator to initiate a cold reboot to bring
the blade PC back online. The Integrated Administrator can be used to remotely operate a power button
of any blade PC within the enclosure.
Integrated Administrator is fully accessible by common Web browsers. The Integrated Administrator
also has a command line interface (CLI) accessible using Secure Shell (encrypted) or Telnet
(unencrypted) protocols, providing extensive management capability to remote network users. Local
users can access the CLI by attaching a client computer (using a terminal emulator) or terminal to the
Integrated Administrator's console (RS-232 serial) port.
NOTE: With a Telnet session, all data - including passwords - are passed as clear text.

User administration and security

The Integrated Administrator supports up to 25 users with customizable access rights and login names.
Groups are first assigned bays, and then users are given membership to those groups. This group-
centered methodology is designed to facilitate user management across blade PCs.
Integrated Administrator provides strong security for remote management in distributed IT environments
by using industry standard Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption of HTTP data transmitted across the
network. SSL encryption (up to 128-bit) ensures that the HTTP information is secure as it travels across
the network. You can encrypt all remote console data as well.
Integrated Administrator provides secure password encryption, tracking all login attempts and
maintaining a record of all login failures. Integrated Administrator also provides the following additional
security features:
●
User actions logged in the Integrated Administrator System Log
●
Login legal warning
