Chapter One: Introduction 1

Chapter 1 Introduction

Overview American Megatrends Unified Management Server (UMS) application is a powerful and user-friendly solution that can be used for managing multiple servers from a single station. UMS is a server application that can be accessed through an Internet browser. UMS allows system administrators to simplify hardware management. UMS empowers system administrators to control the device health by mapping supported devices that are present on the network. System administrators can perform many diagnostics and recovery tasks, such as viewing the IPMI event log, reset, and power cycling the server. Because the UMS utility is based on the Java 2 Platform Enterprise Edition (J2EE) server application, it can be ported to any operating system. UMS is the complete solution for providing discovery, monitoring and controlling of IPMI,CIM and SNMP nodes.

Notes: The smart Java Management Extension (JMX) agent enables the system administrator to communicate through the system interface to the Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) to perform complex in-band management operations.

Supported Protocols

The UMS utility supports the following protocols: • Standard Protocols

• SNMP • IPMI • CIM

• Proprietary Protocol • AMI-Proprietary Protocol

Operating System

On the UMS server system, the following operating systems are supported: • Microsoft® Windows® NT operating systems • Microsoft® Windows® 2000 operating systems • Microsoft® Windows® 2003 operating systems • Microsoft® Windows® XP operating systems • Linux® 7.2

Note: The UMS server is the system that the UMS utility is installed on. In this manual, it is also known as the host system.

Chapter One: Introduction 3

Intrusive and Non-Intrusive Methods The UMS utility uses two different methods to instrument managed nodes. These two methods are explained in the following table:

Method Description Intrusive A node management method is classified as intrusive when the agent used to instrument the

node and communicate with the server application resides on the node. For example: The Java Management Extensions (JMX) smart agent resides on all the Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) in-band managed nodes. The UMS utility communicates with the Base Management Controller (BMC) on the managed node via the smart agent. The smart agent communicates with the BMC using a device driver that, in turn, communicates using either a Keyboard Controller Style (KCS) or a Server Management Interface Chip (SMIC) interface.

Non-intrusive A node management method is classified as non-intrusive when the agent resides remotely on the UMS server. The communication with the node is implemented through a standard communication protocol that is already supported by the operating system of the managed node. For example: The UMS utility communicates with the BMC of an IPMI in-band managed nodes using a side band protocol. In this type of communication, the UMS utility manages the node using the Remote Management Control Protocol (RMCP) over the User Datagram Protocol (UDP). Note: In the non-intrusive method, the UMS utility sends the requested data in accordance

with the IPMI specification.

Best Practice

• It is recommended that one administrator logs into UMS while managing nodes. • It is recommended to install one UMS server to manage the nodes.

Chapter 3 Configuring Your UMS Server

Overview Through the user-friendly UMS Web-based interface, you can define and manage Network Models that are located in the same or connecting network. The UMS utility provides you with powerful tools that allow you to manage multiple Network Models from a single station.

Note: A network model is the domain where the UMS utility performs the discovery process on the nodes to be managed. You can specify a network model by defining the network address, the network mask and the start/end IP addresses. This chapter provides information on how to configure and use UMS.


Default Username and Password

When you first try to access your UMS server, you are prompted to enter a username and password. Both the username and password are case sensitive. The default UserID and Password is as follows:

Field Default Default UserID Admin Default Password Admin

Note: You can change the password after the first login.
