Question
Answer
I have a CC-SG V1/CC-SG E1.
However, I don’t know if this unit
has an AMD or Intel
®
processor.
How do I find out?
You can identify CC-SG V1 or E1 using the GUI
1. Log in to the Admin Client by entering URL <YOUR_CC-
SG_IP_address>/admin> into a Web browser
2. In the top menu, go to Administration>Configuration
3. Select the SNMP tab
4. Above the “Update Agent Configuration” button, you will see your
CC-SG firmware and hardware model
Alternatively, you can identify CC-SG V1 or E1 using the CLI
1. Open SSH session using port number 23 to the CC-SG IP address
2. Log in as “status”
3. Look for the Model field
In either case, use the following table to identify your hardware and processor:
Hardware
AMD

CC-SG E1
CC-SG E1-0
CC-SG E1-1
CC-SG V1
CC-SG V1-A
CC-SG V1-1
Does CC-SG support access
and management of virtual
servers?
Yes. With CC-SG firmware version 4.0 and later, you can add a virtualization
environment to CC-SG to enable a connection from CC-SG to virtual
machines, virtual hosts and control systems. The new virtualization feature
includes streamlined setup of single sign-on access to your virtualization
environment, ability to issue virtual power commands to virtual machines and
virtual hosts and a topology view with one-click connections. CC-SG integrates
with VMware environments and can support features like connectivity to the
Virtual Center software, ESX servers and VMotion™ functionality.
Does CC-SG support direct KVM
access to blade servers?
Yes. CC-SG supports access to and management of blade servers that are
connected to the KX II. CC-SG allows for convenient and easy organization in
its GUI of blade servers and the chassis that houses them.
How does CC-SG integrate with
blade chassis products?
CC-SG can support any device with a KVM or serial interface as a transparent
pass-through. All blade chassis come with one KVM connection for the
management of the blade system. Some blade servers allow KVM connections
on a blade basis through a proprietary add-on connector from the blade server
manufacturer. This would allow access and control of the blade server through
Raritan devices. In addition, CC-SG can incorporate access and power
management through embedded cards such as HP iLO2 and RiLOE II, Dell
DRAC (4/5/6) and IBM RSA II. Typically, these cards are located on the blade
chassis and control the whole enclosure. CC-SG also provides power
management through power strips connected to Raritan devices.
CC-SG can also provide centralized access to individual blades with RDP,
VNC or SSH.
In release 5.2, support for Cisco
®
’s UCS platform was added. Users can
access KVM and IPMI functions via CC-SG interfaces to the UCS’ Integrated
Management Controller (CIMC).
What is a CC-SG “Cluster”?
A CC-SG Cluster consists of two CC-SG hardware appliances: one primary
and one secondary, for backup security in case of primary unit failure. Both
units share common data for active users and active connections, and all
status data is replicated between the two.
