5.7.3 SP management
A service processor (SP) can be connected to any numbered target port on the back of the appliance.
Service Processors that lack a dedicated interface are shared with NIC1 in what is called Side-Band. Side-Band SPs can only
be communicated with logically by the appliance via your network. The SP will need to be assigned an IP that the
appliance can communicate with.
Many SPs can be configured to either use the dedicated interface or share (Side-Band) with NIC1. The appliance can
communicate with the SP in either implementation via IP.
When SPs are physically connected to the appliance, the IP of the SP is not accessible to your network. OEM tools will not
be able to communicate with the SP unless the appliance is placed in Bridge mode. The SP manager prevents
communication between its numbered target ports, but the appliance does not.
The SP Management screen displays all Service Processors (SPs) connected to the appliance. From this screen you can
add, delete and manage SP settings. An SP can be manually added to the appliance if the appliance has IP access to the
SP and has a corresponding profile to support the SP type. The username/password must be provided in the Add
SP Wizard. Common credentials can be pre-populated in the Default Users tab. The profile you choose needs to match the
SP as closely as possible.
SPs that use IPMI will use the KG (Hex format) and Cipher settings to implement a symmetric IPMI 2.0 encryption key to
encrypt the UDP-based IPMI traffic. To ensure all of the SPs' capabilities are available to the appliance, make sure the SPs
enable IPMI-over-LAN in their configuration. Because IPMI is sometimes customized, support for non-standard
implementations will vary.
NOTE: Appliance support for each SP is dependent upon SP firmware capabilities. See the appliance firmware release
notes for a complete list of SP types and supported SP firmware versions. SPs and SP versions that are not listed as
supported may have some level of support if manually added to the appliance using the IPMI_2.0 or generic
SP profiles. The appliance firmware and release notes can be found at http://www.VertivCo.com.
You can also add multiple SPs at once by creating a custom file containing the IP address, port, username, password and
SP type of the SPs you want to add.
Once SPs are added, their information will be displayed within the table on the SP Management page.
NOTE: Users that do not have Administrator access will only see devices to which they have access.
Generic service processors
The appliance can provide access to a generic IP based management console on any device or to an unsupported SP. The
device is manually added as an SP using the generic profile.
NOTE: Credentials are not required to add a generic SP.
The appliance will perform a capability discovery to find a management console listening on TCP port 22 (SSH), 23 (telnet),
80 (HTTP), 443 (HTTPS).
After the generic SP has been added it will appear on the main Targets tab and the available session buttons will be
activated to the appropriate capabilities discovered on the device.
