  • Page 24: Configuring The Scs

    Configuring the SCS To configure the SCS, you must specify a unique IP address and other network address information, stored in the SCS configuration database. During initial login, specify a password for the Admin user. Configuring the network address settings using BootP Ensure that there is a BootP server on your network that is configured to correctly respond to a BootP request from the SCS.
  • Page 25: Initial Scs Login

    Initial SCS login The SCS ships with a single user defined in its user database. The first time you connect to the SCS, you are prompted for a user name. At the Username prompt, enter There is no factory default password for the Admin user. At the Admin.
  • Page 26: Reinitializing The Scs

    Reinitializing the SCS Reinitializing the SCS removes configured information, which can be useful when reinstalling the unit at another location in your network. You can erase the configuration database, which contains all nonvolatile data except the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway. You can also erase both the configuration database and the network address information.
  • Page 27: Operations Overview

    3 Operations Overview The SCS and its ports are easily configured and managed to meet your requirements for device connection, user authentication, access control, power status monitoring, port history information display, and SNMP compliance for use with third-party network management products. Configuring global settings Generally, the SCS-level commands affect console port operations, configure or initiate physical operations, and enable or disable features.
  • Page 28: Updating The Scs Clock

    Updating the SCS clock The SCS supports the network time protocol (NTP) protocol. When NTP is enabled, the battery-backed real-time clock on the SCS updates immediately after NTP is enabled, each time the SCS reboots, and, optionally, at specified intervals. You can specify one or two NTP servers to provide the time.
  • Page 29: Port Groups

    Port groups The SCS supports access control groups which are composed of one or more serial ports. This feature allows a user to be granted access to a group of ports, using a single specification. Each port can belong to only one group. A port group may then be specified in a user account.
  • Page 30: Connecting To Devices From The Console Port

    Stand-alone third-party Telnet clients You can use third-party Telnet clients to access the SCS directly. Connecting to a device using Telnet Enter Telnet, followed by the SCS IP address and the appropriate TCP port, which by default is 3000 plus the physical port number, in decimal format.
  • Page 31: Configuring And Using Dial-In Connections

    Configuring and using dial-in connections You can attach an external modem to the console port for dial-in serial CLI access to the SCS. This configuration can be used as a backup connection if the SCS is not accessible from the network. It can also be used as a primary connection at remote sites that do not have Ethernet network capability.
  • Page 32: Using Ssh

    When you disable SSH and later re-enable it, you can either use the existing server key or compute a new one. If you are re-enabling the same server at the same IP address, HP recommends that you use the existing key because SSH clients might be using it for verification.
  • Page 33 Access rights of users are determined from the authentication method used. SSH key authentication always uses the access rights from the local user database. Depending on the server authentication mode specified with the Server Security command, SSH password authentication will use either the access rights from the local user database or the values returned by the RADIUS server.
  • Page 34: Enabling Plain Text Telnet And Ssh Connections

    Session sharing allows multiple concurrent sessions to the same attached device. The 16-port SCS allows up to 32 total concurrent sessions, with up to four concurrent sessions per port. The 48-port SCS allows up to 96 total concurrent sessions, with up to four concurrent sessions per port.
  • Page 35 The following examples show the interaction between share mode and access levels. Session sharing examples These examples illustrate session sharing and preemption for one port and two users. Assume this port is currently in use by the session originator (SO). Another user, the requesting user (RU), wants to connect to the same port. For simplicity, also assume that if RU is allowed to connect, it will not exceed the maximum allowable number of sessions per port or sessions per SCS.
  • Page 36: Cli Mode

    Enabling session sharing To enable automatic sharing, specify the Auto parameter. -or- To enable sharing only with the permission of the session originator, specify the Query parameter, which is the default value. Disabling session sharing To disable session sharing, issue a Server Share command with the Disable parameter.

  • Page 40: Authentication Summary

    Connections to the Telnet port (23), serial CLI, and PPP are still authenticated using the local SCS user database, even when authentication is expressly disabled. Generally, these communications paths are used only by administrators, and authentication is enforced to establish appropriate access rights. Authentication cannot be disabled when SSH session access is enabled.
  • Page 41: Displaying Authentication Configuration Information

    Displaying authentication configuration information Issue a Show Server Security command. show server security The display includes the current SCS authentication settings that were configured with the Server Security command.

    Abstract This paper describes the best methods to properly deploy an HP IP consoling solution to maximize server management at minimum cost. Keyboard/video/mouse (KVM) consoles, console switches, and adapters can be combined to work together to address such data center problems as space constraints, management of heterogeneous systems, remote access needs, unpleasant working environments, and cable clutter.
  • Page 105: Hp Consoles, Switches, And Accessories

    HP consoles, switches, and accessories HP console switches allow control of multiple servers through one or more KVM consoles for efficient server management. HP Serial Console Servers allow the use of remote consoles or terminals to manage servers and other devices through their serial ports.
  • Page 106: Hp Ip Console Switch With Virtual Media

    HP IP Console Switch with Virtual Media The HP IP Console Switch with Virtual Media (Figure 3) is a rack-mountable, digital KVM switch that offers local or remote IP KVM console functionality and supports virtual media. This highly scalable switch allows an administrator to directly access up to 16 servers, and more servers in a tiered system.
  • Page 107: Interface Adapters

    The interface adapter also stores a user- configured server name (up to 16 characters). If a server is to be relocated, HP recommends that the interface adapter remain attached to (and move with) the server.
  • Page 108: Cat5 Cabling

    The HP KVM Console Switches use all four pairs to send the signal data. CAT5 cables are available from HP in standard lengths of 3, 6, 12, 20, and 40 feet. To reduce cable clutter or the need to coil extra cable, customers can fabricate their own CAT5 cables to custom lengths for connecting devices to the HP IP Console Switch.
  • Page 109: Designing A Consoling Solution

    The HP IP Console Switch with Virtual Media is recommended as a main access or first tier switch for a management system. It provides both local and remote access. Using IP Console Viewer software and LDAP integration with Active Directory, HP IP Console Switch remote users can fully manage any server connected directly or tiered downstream.
  • Page 110: Virtual Media Functionality

    An IMG image file of a floppy disk or ISO image file of a CD-ROM can also be mapped to a target server from a remote client using IP Console Viewer 3.0 or later. HP IP Console Viewer has the built-in ability to mount and use .img and .iso images.
  • Page 111: Local Versus Remote Management

    Figure 7 illustrates an example of a two-tiered system with local and remote KVM consoles attached to an HP IP Console Switch at the first tier and a local KVM console attached to an HP Server Console Switch on the second tier. Local KVM Console A and four Remote KVM Consoles have access to all servers in the system (Groups A and B), while the Local KVM Console B has access only to the servers in Group B.
  • Page 112: Remote Kvm Console Operation

    Remote KVM console operation A PC or workstation can function as a remote (in-band) KVM console by connecting to the HP IP Console Switch through a network interface. An IT administrator can use a workstation as a KVM console to access and manage the servers in the data center.
  • Page 113: Kvm Performance Over A Network

    Session types Figure 9 shows an image of the HP IP Console Viewer 3.0 display when properly configured for use with an HP ProLiant server and EMS. As indicated by the arrows, three types of sessions—a KVM, iLO, and serial session—can be launched simultaneously to the selected server.
  • Page 114: Managing Switch Users Through Active Directory

    The HP IP Console Switch with Virtual Media comes with full LDAP support. LDAP enables system administrators to use directory services for managing remote KVM console switch users with the same efficiency as managing network users and resources.
  • Page 115: Authenticate Only Mode

    The directory services option can be configured to operate in one of two basic modes: Authenticate Only and LDAP (for authentication and authorization). Note With LDAP operation, if the directory service of the domain controller is unavailable, the built-in, console switch administrator account still has access to the switch and all connected servers.
  • Page 116: Ldap Mode

    In Basic mode (Figure 12), only the user ID and password are checked against the directory. If the user exists and the password is correct, then the user obtains access without further validation. Note For security reasons, HP recommends using LDAP Basic mode only for testing connectivity. Figure 12. Query processing in LDAP Basic mode...
  • Page 117 LDAP User Attribute mode In User Attribute mode (Figure 13) the directory checks the user ID and password. If they are valid, the directory uses an attribute in the notes field of the user object to determine access rights. Figure 13. Query processing in LDAP User Attribute mode Domain Controller User ID + password...
  • Page 118: Local Kvm Console Operation

    In Group Attribute mode, a user’s accessibility to systems is determined by the group listing. For console switch queries, the directory checks for a group that contains both the user and the KVM switch. For server queries, the directory checks for a group that contains the user and the server or the user and the switch.

    KVM control of server functions, including system boot and power down. The HP IP Console provides remote KVM access to all the servers, while iLO Standard provides virtual power to those servers that support it. Table 4 indicates key differences between the HP IP Console Switch and HP Lights-Out technology.
  • Page 120: Integrating Legacy Kvm Components

    Console attached to the HP IP Console Switch can also manage any server in the system and can map the USB removable media drive attached to the HP IP Console Switch to any server in either tier. The Local KVM Console attached to the HP Server Console Switch can manage any server in the...
  • Page 121: Implementation Best Practices

    The server numbers indicate the port designations that the user will see, either at the remote KVM console or the Local KVM Console connected to the HP IP Console Switch. A third tier is possible by adding another console switch to the second tier switch. However, port blocking can become an issue if a number of switches are cascaded this way.
  • Page 122: Equipment Layout And Security

    For all ProLiant server environments with iLO, HP recommends a 0×2×16 Server Console Switch in every rack for local access, and one IP Console Switch for every 16 Server Console Switches to provide row access from a local KVM console and a redundant remote KVM console.
