2. The Web interface does not support the double-byte character set (DBCS)
languages.
The Web-based user interface communicates with the management and
configuration program that is part of the firmware that comes with the management
module. You can use this program to perform tasks such as:
v Defining the login IDs and passwords
v Selecting recipients for alert notification of specific events
v Monitoring the status of the BladeCenter unit and blade servers
v Controlling the BladeCenter unit and blade servers
v Accessing the I/O modules to configure them
v Changing the drive startup sequence in a blade server
v Setting the date and time
v Using a remote console for the blade servers
v Changing ownership of the keyboard, video, and mouse
v Changing ownership of the CD-ROM drive, diskette drive, and USB port. (The
CD-ROM drive and diskette drive in the BladeCenter unit are viewed as USB
devices by the blade server operating system.)
v Activating On Demand blade servers
Note: The IBM Director program is a system-management product that comes with
the BladeCenter unit. To configure the remote alert recipients for IBM
Director over LAN, the remote alert recipient must be an IBM
Director-enabled server.
You also can use the management and configuration program to view some of the
blade server configuration settings. See “Using the management and configuration
program” on page 42 for more information.
