Servers to be remotely managed by NEC MWA
The server with RomPilot or BMC can be managed by NEC MWA.
This product has both RomPilot and BMC (IPMI1.0).
PRECAUTIONS:
“MWA First Step Guide” is common to all the managed servers. The following denotes notes and
restrictions for this product.
The Console Redirection feature with WAN or direct connection cannot be used when the server
is operated remotely from the other management PC by using the RomPilot feature via LAN. To
use Console Redirection with WAN or direct connection, set “RomPilot Support” in
“Advanced” menu of BIOS setup utility to “Disabled”. See Chapter 4 “SYSTEM BIOS
~SETUP~” for details.
ESCD information is not collected by NEC MWA. If you attempt to collect it from NEC MWA,
“ESCD data read error server report: Plug and Play call error” is generated.
NO NEC MWA Agent is available on this product. Use the “BMC configuration tool” to
configure this product on Windows.
Remote Management Configuration for the Server without Console
If the main unit does not have a console such as keyboard, you can operate tools on the server
remotely using NEC MWA’s remote console functions and NEC EXPRESSBUILDER’s consoleless
functions.
There are two ways of remote console connection depending on the condition of connection
between the management PC and the main unit:
Connect from the management PC linked to the main unit through LAN.
Connect from the management PC directly linked (through Serial port B) to the main unit.
