Preface Features
iRMC S2 with integrated service LAN connector
I The features of the iRMC S2 Advanced Video Redirection and Remote
Storage are available as an option.
The iRMC S2 (integrated Remote Management Controller) is a BMC with
integrated service LAN connector and expanded functionality that was
previously only available with additional plug-in cards. In this way, the iRMC S2
enables complete control of PRIMERGY servers, regardless of system status,
and thus particularly the control of PRIMERGY servers that are in the "out-of-
band" system status.
Major functions supported by the iRMC S2 include the following:
● Browser access via iRMC S2-s own Web server
● Secure communication (SSH, SSL)
● Power Management for the managed server (depending on its system
status)
● Power Consumption Management
● Connecting virtual drives as remote storage
● Text-based and graphic console bypass (Advanced Video Redirection)
● Command Line Interface (CLI)
● Simple, interactive or script-based iRMC S2 configuration
● Customer Self Service (CSS)
● iRMC S2-s own user management
● Multi-computer, global iRMC S2 user administration using an LDAP
Directory Service
● Automatic network configuration via DNS / DHCP
● Power supply of the iRMC S2 via the system standby supply
● Full-coverage alarm management
● System Event Log (SEL) reading and processing
More information about the iRMC S2 can be found in the "iRMC S2 - integrated
Remote Management Controller" user’s guide (on the PRIMERGY
ServerView Suite DVD 2 under Industry Standard Servers - Software - PRIMERGY
ServerView Suite - Out-Of-Band Management).
