Overview of System Interfaces
The Express5800/A1160 system offers a number of user interfaces for different
purposes. This section contains the following information for each interface:
• A summary of the interface capabilities
• Uses for the interface
• Instructions for accessing and logging on, if appropriate
• Pointers to additional information in this and other documents
2.1. Remote console interfaces
Management firmware is a comprehensive means of configuring, controlling, and
monitoring individual components of the Express5800/A1160 system and the system as
a whole. Management firmware runs on the Service Processor.
The remote console interfaces are client user interfaces to management firmware that
are provided by Web servers running on Service Processors. You can access remote
console interfaces using a Web browser on any device that is connected to the LAN that
supports the Express5800/A1160 system.
Different remote console interfaces (sets of Web pages) control each partition, each cell,
and the system as a whole. Each remote console interface provides commands to view
information and update settings for that component.
Figure 3-2 , Figure 3-24 and Figure
3-27 show the opening page of each set of Web pages.
