Before You Begin
This AlterPath OnBoard Administrator’s Guide provides information and
procedures for configuring and managing the Cyclades™ AlterPath™
OnBoard. It describes what the administrator needs to know and to do in order
to securely control access to management services provided by connected
service processors and other connected servers and devices.
Audience
This manual is intended for system administrators of the OnBoard. The
AlterPath OnBoard Administrator’s Guide is for administrators who are
authorized to configure access to service processors and other devices
connected to the OnBoard during installation. (For installation details, see the
AlterPath OnBoard Installation Guide.)
This document describes configuration and administration of the OnBoard
only. It does not describe how to set up and administer other external services
or servers that the OnBoard may access for authentication, system logging,
IPMI control, SNMP notifications, data logging, file sharing, or other
purposes. This document assumes that users who are authorized to access
server-management services on connected servers already know understand
the services provided and how to use them to manage the connected devices.
