Chapter 1: Introduction
This document is intended for users who have been granted the
Nodes Access
privilege and have
access to particular nodes that are attached to Raritan devices or IPMI servers. With the
Nodes
Access
privilege, you can connect to nodes, control power to nodes, create custom views, search
for nodes, and use node chat to talk to other users who are connected to the same node. The
Active Nodes and User Data reports are also available.
Prerequisites
Before connecting to a node and managing nodes, the nodes need to be configured as well as the
application that is used to connect to the node. Please see Raritan’s
CommandCenter Secure
Gateway Administrator Guide
for additional information.
