1. Notes Check the following points after installing NEC ESMPRO Manager: 1.1 NEC ESMPRO Manager ♦ Installation After NEC ESMPRO Manager is updated, NEC ESMPRO Manager on the web browser may display incorrectly. Take the following steps to avoid it. [Internet Explorer 10,11] 1. Click [Tools]. 2. Select [Delete Browsing History]. 3. Select the checkbox for [Temporary Internet Files]. 4. Click [Delete] button. [Firefox(Linux)] 1. Click [Edit]. 2. Click [Preferences] menu. 3. Select [Advanced]. 4.
You must logout from the web browser that is login to NEC ESMPRO Manager before NEC ESMPRO Manager is updated. After NEC ESMPRO is updated during login, some error may be displayed on any web browser. When the error is displayed, you must close web browser that is login to NEC ESMPRO Manager and restart NEC ESMPRO Manager. ♦ Stop procedure 1. /etc/rc.d/init.d/esmweb stop 2. /etc/rc.d/init.d/esmsm stop ♦ Start procedure 1. /etc/rc.d/init.d/esmsm start 2. /etc/rc.d/init.
♦ Shutdown OS NEC ESMPRO Manager commands NEC ESMPRO Agent Extension or NEC ExpressUpdate Agent on the managed component to shutdown OS. The order of priority for the shutdown function is NEC ESMPRO Agent Extension and NEC ExpressUpdate Agent. ♦ 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.
♦ In case of key-in failure on the remote console During DOS boot or access to the removable media immediately after the managed server is power switch is turned ON, data cannot be keyed in from the remote console or the keyed data display may be delayed. Remote Console is realized by using SOL function of IPMI conformity and the Serial Redirection function of BIOS.
♦ Coexistence of NEC ESMPRO Manager with DianaScope Agent or NEC ESMPRO Agent Extension on the same server If the managed server is installed Advanced Remote Management Card or EXPRESSSCOPE Engine series (BMC uses exclusive LAN port (management LAN port)), NEC ESMPRO Manager can manage the server itself installed. If the managed server is installed BMC that uses the standard LAN port, NEC ESMPRO Manager on the managed server cannot manage itself.
♦ Display of the Information of server state/constitution In case that NEC ESMPRO Manager has been updated from Ver. 5.23 and below, the display of the selected item on [Information of server state/constitution] may take long time with the hardware constitution of the managed server. Perform the followings in this case: Change the "Update Interval" value of "Automatically update display" setting from 5 second s (default value) to 60 seconds.
♦ Replacing a managed server After replacing monitored server, even if the server name and IP address remains the same, delete the corresponding server icon and execute AutoRegistration. Otherwise, the replaced server is not recognized and the server status and the configuration information is not correctly displayed.
♦ The default setting of EXPRESSSCOPE Engine 3 You can change BMC Configuration Information from [BMC Setting] of NEC ESMPRO Manager. For details of [BMC Setting], see the online help of NEC ESMPRO Manager. Refer to EXPRESSSCOPE Engine 3 User’s Guide about difference between NEC ESMPRO Manager's default value and a value which 'Configuration Initialization' function will set. ♦ Standby BMC Configuration Setting It may take a few minutes to set the Standby BMC Configuration.
1.2 NEC ExpressUpdate ♦ Installation of NEC ExpressUpdate Agent To use the function of "Installing NEC ExpressUpdate Agent", following configurations are necessary. *1 Change following configurations with the user belongs to Administrators group. *2 See"Chapter4 2 Appendix Port numbers / Protocols" for network ports and protocols which this function uses.
Windows Server 2008 R2 1) Configure Windows Firewall. Select [File and Printer Sharing] on [Control Panel] - [System and Security] - [Windows Firewall] [Allow a program or feature through Windows Firewall] and click [OK]. 2) Configure UAC. [Control Panel] - [User Accounts] - [User Accounts] - [Change User Account Control settings]-Select [Never notify]. Windows Server 2008 R2 Core 1) Configure Windows Firewall.
1.3 Managed Servers ♦ Setting Windows Firewall If Windows Firewall is enabled, communication with the management machine will be interrupted and the system will not work correctly. To use NEC ESMPRO Manager Windows Firewall enabled, open the required ports.
♦ CUI Remote Console after Windows boot If the managed server does not support SOL, Remote Console of SAC of Windows cannot be executed via LAN. To execute CUI remote console function of SAC screen after Windows boot, select [Server]-[Console Redirection] and change [ACPI Redirection] to [Enable] on BIOS Setup Utility screen of the managed server. When [ACPI Redirection] is set to [Enable] on BIOS Setup Utility screen, CUI remote console function cannot be executed after POST.
1.4 BMC Configuration ♦ BMC Configuration tool Among BMC configuration information tools there are some tools which cannot be used to setup NEC ESMPRO Manager. NEC MWA Agent cannot be used. If DianaScope or NEC ESMPRO Agent Extension is not stored in EXPRESSBUILDER DVD-ROM, [A setup of a system management] stored in the same EXPRESSBUILDER DVD-ROM cannot be used. The Console-less function of EXPRESSBUILDER can be used only when ESMPRO is stored in the same EXPRESSBUILDER DVD-ROM.
2. Advanced Remote Management Card If the managed server has been installed Advanced Remote Management Card, BMC may not immediately obtain IP address after BMC is set to obtain IP address by DHCP. Please turn the managed server AC-OFF and then AC-ON because BMC try to obtain IP address whenever the managed server is turned AC-ON. ♦ Port that BMC uses In case that Linux on the managed server uses port 623, NEC ESMPRO Manager cannot communicate with BMC that uses standard LAN port.
1.5 Web client ♦ Language setting on Web browser NEC ESMPRO Manager and Web client needs to be the same OS language. Do not change your browser language setting. ♦ Operation from two or more browsers NEC ESMPRO Manager cannot be operated using two or more browser windows by one Web client. When you use the browser which has tabbed browsing, NEC ESMPRO Manager cannot be operated using two or more tab.
♦ Note on using Internet Explorer If you login to NEC ESMPRO Manager from Web client using Internet Explorer for a long time, according to Internet Explorer restriction (for detail, see Microsoft Knowledge Base 830555), memory usage of Internet Explorer on Web client will increase. (About 10MB a day at maximum.) So, do following processes if you use it for a long time after login from Web client. - Logout Web client regularly. The increased memory by Internet Explorer restriction will be released by logout.
2. Port numbers / Protocols NEC ESMPRO Manager uses the following port numbers and protocols. In case of two-way protocol, upper arrow shows that connection starts, and lower arrow shows that connection turns. In case of port No. unknown, unused port is used to start connection.
