Measures reported by HBladeMgtModuleTest
The management module provides power control of the modules, status monitoring, system console, and management network functions. One (standard) or two (maximum) management modules can be mounted in the server chassis of the Hitachi Compute Blade. With two management modules installed, the modules provide a redundant configuration. Each module is hot-swappable and supports live firmware updates without the need for shutting down the blades. Each module supports an independent management LAN interface from the data network for remote and secure management of the chassis and all blades. Each module supports a serial CLI and a Web interface. The management modules also support SNMP and email alert notification so that administrators are always notified of any issues. If the management modules fail to function, then the target Hitachi Compute Blade may malfunction resulting in the failure of several hardware and software components interconnected with the blade. To avoid such fatal failures, administrators should constantly maintain a vigil over the management modules. The HBladeMgtModuleTest test helps administrators in this regard!
For each management module in the chassis of the target Hitachi Compute Blade, this test reports the current health and power supply status. In addition, this test also reports the operational status as well as the maintenance mode of each management module. Using this test, administrators can easily figure out abnormalities in the management module and take necessary measures to combat the abnormalities at the earliest!
