Emergency Management Port Configuration
The following server operations are available from the Console Manager:
n Connecting to remote servers
n Powering the server ON or OFF
n Resetting the server
n SEL viewer
n SDR viewer
n FRU viewer
The Console Manager has a Phonebook, which you use to connect to a selected server.
Referring to the above figure, the Board Management Controller (BMC) in your server monitors
system management events and logs their occurrence in the System Event Log (SEL). These
include events such as over-temperature and over-voltage conditions, fan failure, or chassis
intrusion. To enable accurate monitoring of temperature, voltage, etc. independent of an event,
the BMC also maintains Sensor Data Record for each sensor (SDR), from which sensor information
can be retrieved.
