Using MWA

Opening a Server Window

To remotely access a managed server from the management PC using MWA,
you must open a server management window for the server. You can then issue
commands to the server and make various settings though this window.
There are two ways to open a server window:
S
Using a command - Select Open from the File menu. The Select a Server
dialog box displays. Select the server you want to remotely access.
S
Automatic connection - If a server is set for automatic connection, MWA
opens a server window and connects to the server when a notification is
received from the server. Refer to Connection and Disconnection in the next
section.

Connecting and Disconnecting the Server

MWA is a pre-boot management application. MWA can be connected to a
server only from the time the server is powered on or reset until the operating
system is booted in the server. Once a server is connected, the remote control
function displays the server screen in the server window at the management PC.
Most MWA functions can be executed only when a server is connected.
Connect to a server as follows:
S
Connect command - Select Connect from the Pop-up menu in the
server window.
S
Setting automatic connection - Select Properties from the Pop-up menu
in the server window. The Server Properties dialog box displays. Check
[Activate] for RESET or POST Error alert on the Alert page. After this
setting is made, MWA will automatically connect to the server each time
a specified alert is reported from the server.
Disconnect a server from the management PC using one of the following
commands:
S
Disconnect command - Select Disconnect from the Pop-up menu in the
server window.
S
Close command - Close from the File menu closes the active server
window and closes the connection to the server.
S
Exit command - Exit from the File menu terminates MWA and closes
the connections to all servers.
S
Server reset or reboot - When a server is reset, its connection to MWA
is closed. If automatic connection is set for the server, the server is
connected again.
