Configuring Your BMC with Server Administrator Version 2.0
You can also configure the BMC options using Server Administrator., which is a one-to-one systems
management software program that must be installed on the managed system. Once installed, you
can remotely access Server Administrator from a management station with a supported browser to
perform BMC configuration tasks. See the
Server Administrator User’s Guide for more information
about installing and using Server Administrator.
You can configure the BMC settings from either the Server Administrator home page or from its
command line interface. Users must have Administrator privileges to access the BMC settings.
Users logged in with User or Power User group privileges can view the BMC information but
cannot change the settings.
See the
Server Administrator Version 2.0 Command Line Interface User's Guide for information
about configuring the BMC from the command line.
When using Server Administrator, you can click
Help on the global navigation bar for more
detailed information about the specific window you are viewing. Server Administrator help is
available for all windows accessible to the user based on user privilege level and the specific
hardware and software groups that Server Administrator discovers on the managed system.
