RSA II Web interface

This topic describes the RSA II interface that is available on the engine.

A Remote Supervisor Adapter (RSA) II is installed in each engine in the cluster. Each RSA II is connected to the IP network. In addition, the RSA II in each engine in the cluster creates a daisy chain through a private Advanced System Management (ASM) interconnect network. For more information about the RSA II, refer to the Remote Supervisor Adapter II User's Guide, which is available on the IBM® Web site.

Using the RSA II Web interface, you can perform the following functions:
  • Access system status, which allows you to view the health of the engine, the image of the last operating-system-failure screen capture, and a list of users who are logged in to the RSA II.
  • View the event logs, which contain all entries from the engine system error log. It also contains information about remote-access attempts and dial-out events.
  • View vital product data for the engine, including BIOS information and engine component vital product data.
  • Remotely power on or restart the engine.
  • Redirect the engine video console to your computer. Using the remote control function, you can also use your computer disk drive or disk image as a drive on the engine.
  • Change the engine boot sequence for the next restart or attempt a Preboot Execution Environment (PXE)/Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) network startup.
  • Update the firmware on the RSA II.
  • Access other system-management processors and adapters on the ASM interconnect network. This includes RSA II cards, ASM processors, ASM PCI adapters, and integrated system management processors (ISMPs). Collectively, these system-management processors and adapters are called service processors.
  • View and change the RSA II system settings and RSA II clock.
  • Configure RSA II login profiles.
  • Configure remote alerts and remote alert recipients and establish the events that will be considered to be alerts.
  • Configure RSA II serial port settings.
  • Configure RSA II network interfaces. This includes the settings for the Ethernet connection on the RSA II, which enables remote access over a Web browser, network protocols used by the RSA II, and secure socket layer (SSL) configuration.
  • Back up and restore the RSA II configuration. In addition, you can restore RSA II defaults.
  • Restart the RSA II.
