2 PRIMERGY BX Blade Server System –
Overview
In this chapter an overview is given of the blade server system. The concept underlying this system is explained,
and its major features are described. Furthermore, the system component is described that enables the user to
communicate with the system.
2.1 The Blade Server Concept
A traditional server is a device that includes a multitude of components to do many different jobs at the same time.
Servers like this are distinguished by the number of CPUs they use, the number of hard disks that can be plugged
in, and the number of PCI cards that can be used to connect them to other devices such as external storage
systems or networks.
Further development has made it necessary to treat the issues of CPU power and storage capacity separately.
Rack optimized servers enable the system administrator to make adjustments in both fields according to the level
that is needed.
At the next step, the blade server concept is reached, where I/O functions, too, are separated from the CPU. A
blade server system typically consists of a number CPU boards, known as server blades, together with some
connection blades, which are the I/O modules, and finally a redundantly configured pair of ServerView
management blades, enabling the user to monitor and control the system on the whole.
All data traffic moving to and from the system is handled via TCP/IP over a LAN cable.
The outsourcing of the power supply unit and the use of low-voltage CPUs help to reduce the size of a server blade.
Thus, a high density is achieved for the system with very little power consumption compared to traditional servers.
2.2 Blade Server Management
When performing administrative tasks for the blade server system, the user relies on functions provided by a
system component called the ServerView management blade. There are two ServerView management blades in
a blade server system, in order to ensure redundancy.
The user gets access to the functions provided by the ServerView management blade, either via a web user
interface, or via a console menu using the Telnet protocol. Both ways of communication are described in more
detail in the next two chapters of this manual (see chapter “Telnet Interface” and chapter “Web User Interface”).
2.2.1 Features of the ServerView Management Blade
Within the blade server system the ServerView management blade is equipped with a number of features, which
are described in this section.
Controller
The ServerView management blade is equipped with an AMCC PPC405EP controller.

Supported programs
The ServerView management blade is compliant with IPMI (Internet Protocol Multicast Iniative) 2.0. It supports
schemes like FRU (Field Replaceable Units), SEL (System Event Log), and SDR (Sensor Data Records). It also
allows the configuration of a watchdog timer.
Communication with the server blades
The ServerView management blade communicates with the server blades via an I2C bus. An IPMB interface is
provided to support the user, when performing hardware monitoring tasks for the server blades.
Communication with the connection blades
To enable communication with the connection blades, a CLI interface is provided. It allows to configure settings of
the connection blades, such as the IP address, the IP mask, or the IP gateway address.
Hardware monitoring
The hardware monitoring functions provided by the ServerView management blade include:
– Monitoring temperature of each server blade via the IPMB interface
– Monitoring the status of the system fans
– Setting the the system fans to an optimum speed
– Monitoring the status ot the power supply modules
– Monitoring the temperature of the connection blades via the I2C bus
Event repository
To store messages on events that occur in the system environment, the ServerView management blade is
equipped with an event repository, providing a 2 x 32 MB SDRAM.
Auto configuration
The management function auto configuration is used to back up system parameters to a ROM, which is located
on the management blade. It also provides the possibility to restore these paramters if required. This reduces the
risk if system configuration data have been corrupted or lost.
SSL (Secure Socket Layer)
The Manager Blade provides SSL for network data privacy for Telnet as well as for HTTP connections.

2.2.2 Redundancy of the ServerView Management Blade
Of the two ServerView management blades within the blade server system, one will take over the role of the
master, who is in charge of the server management, while the other one will remain in a standby status as a
redundant component. The two components have the same IP address, but their MAC adresses differ from each
other.
The management blade in slot 1 becomes the master management blade by default.
The master blade and the redundant blade communicate symmetrically with each other via a TX/RX serial
interface. As soon as the master fails to work properly, for instance, when unplugged by the system administrator,
the standby component will take over control of the server management.
Fail-over scenario
When the redundant ServerView management blade takes over control from the master, it will behave according
to the following scenario:
– Issue an ICMP broadcast ping to update the ARP table and connection the IP filtering table, in order to adjust
them with regard to the new MAC address
– Define a proprietary protocol in L2, which is used for remote communication
If communication between master and redundant component via the serial interface has broken down, these
components can continue to communicate by sending IP broadcast packages, using the MAC addresses.
2.2.3 Console Redirection
When using the console redirection feature, the management of the blade server system may be executed in
remote control mode. To support this mode, the ServerView management blade acts as the console redirection
agent.

3 Telnet Interface
Within the blade server system a console menu is provided for server management, using the Telnet protocol. A
number of configuration activities can be performed via this menu, e.g. IP address configuration or hardware status
monitoring. The menu is described in this chapter.
3.1 Entering the console mode
To enter the console mode a connection from a PC to the serial port of the blade server system has to be estab-
lished first. For this purpose a RS232 cable (null modem cable) is used. An RX/TX signal will then be exchanged
via this cable.
After the connection has been established, the HyperTerminal option is called up on the PC.
The parameters for this option are to be set as follows:
LAN interface connection
The console mode can also be entered via LAN. In this case, the Telnet client is called up, and the login procedure
is performed using the management blade IP address.
