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 Define the login IDs and passwords
v Select recipients for alert notification of specific events
v
Monitor the status of the BladeCenter unit and blade servers
v Control the BladeCenter unit and blade servers
v
Access the switch modules to configure them
v Change the drive startup sequence in a blade server
v
Set the date and time
v Remote control
v Change ownership of the keyboard, video, and mouse
v Change 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.)
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 44 for more information.
Setting up the remote connection
To configure and manage the BladeCenter unit and blade servers, you must first set
up the remote connection through the Ethernet port on the management module.
