Manager" user guide.
l For correct operation in case of power loss (AC failure) for PRIMERGY
rack servers, the iRMC of these servers must be able to send SNMP
traps to the central ServerView management station with ServerView
Operations Manager and VIOM running on it. If any routers or firewalls
are involved, these must be configured in such a way that SNMP traps
can be delivered to the ServerView management.
If a PRIMERGYrack server is managed by VIOM, as well as the user
account used for contacting the iRMC, you must specify the IP address
or host name of the ServerView management station. The supplied
address is registered on the iRMC as a trap destination. In addition, on
each iRMC the SNMP community for SNMP traps must match the con-
figuration of ServerView Operations Manager.
It has to be ensured that SNMP traps sent by the iRMC are allowed to
pass all routers and fire walls to reach the local LAN port to which the
specified IP address is associated.
l If an operating system is installed and running, ServerView Operations
Manager should have SNMP access to the server. It is preferable to
install ServerView agents on the operating system.
When managing multiple PRIMERGY rack servers via VIOM, the vir-
tualization of the I/O ports together with the definition of the boot device con-
figuration (Fibre Channel boot, iSCSI boot, PXE boot) by VIOM allows easy
shifting of an application (OS boot image) from one server to another. To
make this possible, the servers that should be able to run the same image
should have identical or nearly identical hardware configuration regarding I/O
controllers (Fibre Channel controllers, additional LAN controllers, Converged
Network Controllers). If, for example, your VIOM server profile uses two
onboard LAN ports and two Fibre Channel ports on PCI card 2, all
PRIMERGYrack servers that should be able to take these server profiles
must have at least two onboard LAN ports and a Fibre Channel controller in
the PCI slot 2. Additional controllers in other PCI slots do not cause prob-
lems when assigning a VIOM server profile. Missing I/O ports (I/O ports that
are configured in the VIOM server profile for which there are no hardware
ports) will make it impossible to successfully assign the profile.
