The Onboard Administrator is the brains of the new c-Class infrastructure. Together with the enclosure's HPE insight display, the Onboard Administrator has been designed for both local & remote administration of HPE Blade System c-Class. This module & its firmware provides wizards for simple, fast setup & configuration, highly available & secure access to the HPE Bladesystem infrastructure, security roles for server, network, & storage administrators, automated power & cooling of the HPE Bladesystem infrastructure, agent-less device health & status & thermal logic power & cooling information & control. HPE Blade System solutions start with a Blade System c 7000 Enclosure, optional c 7000 hot-plug power supplies, HPE Active Cool Fans, & an optional redundant Blade System Onboard Administrator module. Once the enclosure has been selected, the following components can be added: networking interconnect modules, HPE Pro Liant & Integrity Server Blades, & Insight Control management software. Each c 7000 enclosure is built with the following functions: Up to 16 half-height and/or up to 8 full-height server blades and/or storage blades per enclosure. Up to 4 different interconnect fabrics (Ethernet, FC, IB, i SCSI, SAS, etc.) supported simultaneously within the enclosure. Choice of a single-phase, three-phase or a -48V DC power subsystem for flexibility in connecting to datacenter power. HP Thermal Logic technology for lower power consumption & airflow. Four (4) or Ten (10) Active Cool 200 fans as standard. For redundancy & enhanced power consumption & acoustics; additional Active Cool 200 Fan kits can be added for a maximum of 10 fans. Redundant hot-plug cooling, redundant hot-plug power supplies, redundant connections, redundant interconnect modules, optional redundant Blade System Onboard Administrator management modules. Lowest cost of ownership. Full AC redundancy
- with no power zones. An Blade System Onboard Administrator management module is built in to the enclosure with the following functions: Robust, multiple enclosure setup & control. Reports asset & inventory information for the devices in the enclosure. Reports thermal & power information, including real-time actual power usage per server & per enclosure. Front-mounted Insight Display for easy management within the datacenter. Integrated access to all server blade i L Os from a single cable. Provides integrated access to interconnect bay device management ports from the single Blade System Onboard Administrator cable. Single sign-on capability for all devices in the enclosure Role-based security locally and/or with LDAP directory services. Provides a wizard-based initial setup process for easy configuration. A Blade System c 7000 enclosure provides the following benefits: With local & remote hardware management integrated across the solution, one full enclosure can be managed as easily as one server. Scalable: Management & network interconnects extend scalability beyond a single enclosure, allowing resources to be pooled & shared across multiple enclosures. Investment protection: Accommodates multiple server & network designs in one enclosure. Lower costs per server, in comparison to rack-mounted servers Lower power consumption, in comparison to rack-mounted servers. Lower airflow requirements, in comparison to rack-mounted servers Please note: server components such as memory & power supplies must match those already installed in a server.
