4 Configuration
l The PRIMERGY rack server must be in the list of supported server
types.
l The system BIOS and the iRMC firmware must fulfill VIOM require-
ments. Details concerning the required BIOS version and iRMC firm-
ware version might be found in the release notes.
l The iRMC of the PRIMERGY rack server must be reachable by LAN
from the central management station where VIOM is installed. VIOM
uses the RMCP protocol (IPMI over LAN) to communicate with the
iRMC of the PRIMERGY rack server. If any routers or firewalls are
involved, this protocol must be allowed between the VIOM central man-
agement station and the managed PRIMERGY rack server.
By default the iRMC is configured to receive an IP address via DHCP. If
no DHCP server is running you must configure a static IP address, net-
mask and default gateway manually for the iRMC of every PRIMERGY
rack server that is to be managed by VIOM.
l The PRIMERGY rack server and especially the iRMC must be added to
the server list of ServerView Operations Manager. ServerView Oper-
ations Manager must be configured in such a way that it can com-
municate with the iRMC. This means that ServerView Operations Man-
ager must know a valid user account and password that allow RMCP
communication with the iRMC of that server.
ServerView Operations Manager must show the PRIMERGY rack
server as manageable by VIOM.
A VIOM icon indicates whether this PRIMERGY rack server is man-
ageable by VIOM or not:
This PRIMERGY rack server is managed by VIOM.
This PRIMERGY rack server is manageable by VIOM but man-
agement is inactive.
No
icon
This PRIMERGY rack server could not be managed by VIOM or
its state could not be provided.
