Installation Guide

♦Setting a Windows Firewall

If the Windows Firewall is enabled, communication of the NEC ESMPRO Manager with a Web client and a managed

server will be interrupted and the system will not work correctly.

To use NEC ESMPRO Manager with the Windows Firewall enabled, open the required ports.

For ports used by NEC ESMPRO Manager, see "Appendix Port numbers / Protocols".

♦Use of two or more NEC ESMPRO Manager

A single managed server on that "Management Controller" management is effective can be controlled remotely by up to

three Management PC. Follow these notes on the remote control.

 Use only one NEC ESMPRO Manager to set/execute the scheduled running function and remote batch function.

 While one NEC ESMPRO Manager is using the remote console function of a managed server, the other NEC

ESMPRO Managers cannot use the managed server's remote console function.

 More than one NEC ESMPRO Manager cannot collect IPMI information from the same managed server

concurrently.

 Do not use more than one NEC ESMPRO Manager PXE Service. Start the NEC ESMPRO Manager PXE Service

on only one of Management PC on the same network.

 One EM card must be managed by one NEC ESMPRO Manager. And plural EM cards and CPU blades on the

same chassis must be managed by one NEC ESMPRO Manager.

♦Power OFF, Power Cycle, Reset, and Dump

Since power control is provided by hardware regardless of the state of the managed server's operating system, the

system may be damaged. Be careful of operation under power control.

♦Power OFF, Power Cycle, Reset with the BIOS Setup Utility active

If you use the managed server integrated BMC, do not execute the Power Off, Power Cycle or Reset while the BIOS

Setup Utility is active on the managed server. Otherwise, the alert setting of BMC configuration will be disabled.

♦IPMI information collection

While a managed server is tuned OFF, some records of management controller information and FRU (Field

Replaceable Unit) information cannot be read in.

The current status of some sensors cannot be read in either while the managed server is turned OFF.

♦Restriction on concurrent connection to the Remote Console

When a single NEC ESMPRO Manager is operating the remote console of a managed server, another Manager cannot

execute the remote console function for the managed server. A managed server can transmit redirection data to only a

single NEC ESMPRO Manager.
