22 Chapter 3 Monitoring the Xserve
Connecting to the Xserve
To add an Intel-based Xserve to the server list in Server Monitor, you use the network
address, user name, and password of the lights-out management processor in the
Xserve. The lights-out management processor has its own administrator user name,
password, and network settings. There are several ways to change these settings:
 Step through the networking panes of the Mac OS X Server setup assistant
 In Server Monitor, choose Server > Configure Local Machine
 Use the
ipmitool command-line tool in Terminal
If you’re using Server Monitor on the local Xserve, add the local Xserve to server list by
adding a server with the IP address of 127.0.0.1 and using the local administrator’s user
name and password information.
For information about using Server Monitor, see the Server Monitor onscreen help.
Using the Command Line
For information about using SSH to connect to a remote Xserve and using command-
line tools to check the status of the Xserve, see Mac OS X Server: Command-Line
Administration at www.apple.com/server/documentation.
