Communication with the hp Carrier Grade
Blade Server bh3710
Introduction
Local management communications with the blade server takes place via a local console connection to the
Management blade. See Chapter 3 of this manual and the
hp bh3710 Carrier Grade Blade Server Service
Guide
for configuration details.
Once the Management blade LAN configuration is set, further configuration can be performed with LAN
TelNet sessions, which are used to check configuration settings, load operating systems (see Remote
Installation of Operating Systems below), and to troubleshoot using the Support Tool Manager diagnostic
tool.
CAUTION
The factory default MP configuration allows access to the bp2200 Server blade without
requiring a login name or password. Establish security immediately by configuring MP
usernames and passwords by using the
SO
command at the MP console as soon as
communication is established. Failure to heed this precaution may result in unauthorized
access and loss of customer data.
Remote Installation of Operating Systems
The blade server is shipped with the HP-UX operating system installed and located on the Fibre Channel
disk for the bp2200 server blade primary boot path.
The Support Tool Manager
The Support Tool Manager is a diagnostic program supplied with the bp2200 Server Blade to perform
troubleshooting and allow isolation of faults to a particular Field Replaceable Unit (FRU).
The Support Tool Manager runs on a PC or laptop under Windows, and communicates with the bp2200 Server
Blade through the Management Processor (MP), via the Management LAN, or through the Fibre Channel and
LAN RTM circuit through the customer LAN.
Complete documentation is supplied on the Support Tool Manager CD and further information is available on
the following web site: http://www.docs.hp.com/index.html then select
