Are the Paragon Blade CIMs used?
No, the Paragon II Blade CIM will not work with the Dominion KX II.
Which CIM should I use?
It depends on the type of KVM ports on the specific make and model of
the blade server you are using. The following CIMs are supported:
DCIM-PS2, DCIM-USBG2, D2CIM-VUSB and D2CIM-DVUSB.
What types of access and control are available?
The Dominion KX II provides automated & secure KVM access: (1)
at-the-rack, (2) remotely over IP, (3) via CommandCenter and (4) by
modem.
Do I have to use hotkeys to switch between blades?
Some blade servers require you to use hotkeys to switch between
blades. With the Dominion KX II, you don't have to use these hotkeys.
Just click on the name of the blade server and the Dominion KX II will
automatically switch to that blade without the explicit use of the hotkey.
Can I access the blade server's management module?
Yes, you can define the URL of the management module and access it
from the Dominion KX II or from CC-SG. If configured, one-click access
is available.
How many blade servers can I connect to a Dominion KX II ?
For performance and reliability reasons, you can connect up to 8 blade
chassis to a Dominion KX II, regardless of model. Raritan recommends
connecting up to two times the number of remote connections supported
by the device. For example, with a KX2-216 with two remote channels,
we recommend connecting up to 4 blade server chassis. You can of
course connect individual servers to the remaining server ports.
I'm an SMB customer with a few Dominion KX II's. Must I use your
CC-SG management station?
No, you don't have to. SMB customers are not required to use CC-SG to
use the new blade features.
I'm an Enterprise customer using CC-SG. Can I access blade
servers via CC-SG?
Yes. Once blade servers are configured on the Dominion KX II, the
CC-SG user can access them via KVM connections. In addition the
blade servers are organized by chassis as well as CC-SG custom views.
What if I want in-band or embedded KVM access?
Yes, in-band and embedded access to blade servers can be configured
within CC-SG.
