Description
Aggrega
tion
network
port
Provides out-of-band management of the server nodes. You can use
the aggregation network port provided by the aggregation module to
connect to the iBMC of all the server nodes, reducing the number of
cables required for the management network and lowering system
maintenance time.
3.6 Management Principles
The management principles of the X6000 are as follows:
●
Each server node is configured with an iBMC management module that
provides management functions, such as IPMI, KVM, and virtual drives. The
Hyper Management Module (HMM) manages fan modules, PSUs, and chassis
assets.
●
The iBMC provides a user interface (UI). You can use the iBMC management
network port of each server node or the aggregation network port provided
by the port aggregation module to connect to the iBMC of each server node.
●
The HMM uses the fan backplane to monitor and manage fans. The fan
backplane provides four independent pulse-width modulation (PWM) control
signals for controlling the fan speed and eight TACH signals for detecting the
fan speed.
The HMM uses Huawei speed adjustment algorithms to determine a fan
speed based on the temperature of temperature-sensitive components and
the environment, and sends fan speed data to the fan backplane. The fan
backplane also receives fan speed signals from the fan modules to monitor
the fan operating status, and reports the status to the HMM for fan health
management.
●
PSU monitoring and management: The HMM provides one inter-integrated
circuit (I2C) for managing the PSUs and general purpose input/output (GPIO)
pins for detecting the PSU installation status and PWROK state.
The HMM supports queries on PSU intput power, PSU installation status, and
PSU alarms.
3.7 Management Modes
Access Modes
The Intelligent Baseboard Management Controller (iBMC) and Hyper
Management Module (HMM) provide independent IP addresses to enable users to
manage the X6000.
●
On a server node, users can use:
–
The iBMC management port to access the iBMC.
–
The NIC service port to access the iBMC in NC-SI mode.
