Configuring Insight Manager for
Out-of-Band Remote Console Access

To contact the IRC function of a server, there must be an entry for that server in
the Insight Manager device list. If an entry already exists for this server,
proceed to step #2.

1. If the server containing Integrated Remote Console is available for in-

band management through a LAN connection, create an IPX or IP entry
for the server using methods described in the Compaq Insight Manager
User’s Guide
.

Create a “PPP” entry if the server is accessible only via a point-to-point
connection.

This step is necessary for any server managed through Insight Manager
regardless of whether out-of-band remote console access is configured
or desired.

2. Right-click the server name created in step #1 from the Insight Manager

Device List window to display a list of functions you can perform on the
selected server.

3. Select

Device Setup. The Device Setup dialog box is displayed.
