Shared NIC DL100 G6 Configuration
The system NIC ports are shared with
LO100i for management.
Dedicated NIC DL100 G6 Configuration
A management network can be
employed by adding an optional
dedicated NIC through a mezzanine
card. The management network is
physically separated from the system
network.
IPMI 2.0 and DCMI 1.0
ProLiant 100-series G6 servers and LO100i are architected with IPMI 2.0 and DCMI 1.0 standards so
that customers in heterogeneous environments can manage these servers with either industry standard.
The following are basic compliance mandates-
• The implementation of all mandatory IPMI 2.0 and DCMI 1.0 in-band and out-of-band commands
• Reliable Local and Remote Power on/off/reset through IPMI Chassis commands
• Per IPMI 2.0, console redirection over telnet or SSH
• Server identification by device ID, globally unique identifier (GUID), asset tag, and chassis ID
• Accurate System Event Logging using IPMI
• Reliable in-band keyboard controller style (KCS) interface and out-of-band LAN interface
