Diversified user security control interfaces are provided to ensure user login 
security. 

 

Multiple types of certificates can be imported and replaced to ensure data 
transmission security. 

 

System maintenance interface 

 

The virtual KVM and virtual media functions facilitate remote maintenance. 

 

Out-of-band RAID monitoring and configuration are supported to improve RAID 
configuration efficiency and management capability. 

 

Smart Provisioning provides a convenient operation interface for installing the OS, 
configuring RAID, and performing the upgrade without a CD-ROM. 

 

Various network protocols 

 

The NTP synchronizes network time to optimize time configuration.   

 

The iBMC supports domain name system (DNS) and Lightweight Directory 
Application Protocol (LDAP) to implement domain management and directory 
service. 

 

Intelligent power management 

 

The power capping technology helps you easily improve deployment density. 

 

The iBMC uses dynamic power saving to reduce operational expenditure (OPEX). 

 

License management 

By managing licenses, you can use the features of the iBMC advanced edition in 
authorization mode. 

Compared with the standard edition, the iBMC advanced edition provides more 
advanced features, such as: 

 

Redfish-enabled OS deployment 

 

Redfish-enabled original data collection for intelligent diagnosis 

9.2 Server Management System 

The entire server management system consists of iBMCs on each server node. Table 9-1 lists 
main features of the server management system. 

Table 9-1

 

Features of the management system 

Feature 

Description 

Management port 

Supports the following management ports integrated with any 
standard management system: 

 

IPMI 

 

CLI 

 

WebUI 

Fault detection 

Detects and accurately locates faults in server and node 
components. 

Alarm management 

Supports alarm management and reports alarms in various 
ways, such as the syslog service, to ensure uninterrupted 24/7 
system operation.
