Preface
Hitachi Compute Blade 500 Series Management Module Setup Guide
Overview
The management module is a hardware that manages a whole system unit
such as controlling the system unit and monitoring environment. This guide
describes various setup procedure of the system unit using the management
module with other devices.
The management module controls and monitors server blades, switch
modules, power supply modules, and fan modules in the system unit. When a
failure is detected in the system unit, the management module can notify
failure to the system administrator using E-mail, SNMP, or something.
When managing the system unit with the Management Server
(ServerConductor/Blade Server Manager), you can realize functions, such as
operating-status management, notifying alerts, and N+M cold standby, by
cooperation between the management module and ServerConductor/Blade
Server Manager.
The management module provides the console that displays the status of the
system unit and set up the system unit. The following three kinds of console
are available.
•
Web console
For details, see the Hitachi Compute Blade 500 Series Web Console User's
Guide.
• Command Line Interface (CLI) console
For details, see the Hitachi Compute Blade 500 Series CLI Console User's
Guide.
• Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) touch console
For details, see the Hitachi Compute Blade 500 Series LCD Touch Console
User's Guide.
When using the LCD touch console, you can set up the system unit without
the system console. For details about using each consoles, see the each
consoles' user's guides.
You can run integrated setup of the server blades and switch modules
through the management module console. When you connect the
management module console, you can set up each module in the system unit
seamlessly without connecting other consoles.
Connecting management module
This section describes external interfaces and cable connection.
External interface of management module
The management module provides Management LAN port #0 (MGMT0),
Management LAN port #1 (MGMT1), Maintenance LAN port (MAINT), and a
Serial port (SER).
1-2
Management module overview
Hitachi Compute Blade 500 Series Management Module Setup Guide
Figure 1-1 Port location of management module
Table 1-1 Port type of management module
Port name Specification
Management LAN
port (MGMT0)
This port is connected to the management LAN.
For the factory default setting, this port is connected to the
management LAN.
Management LAN
port (MGMT1)
This port is connected to the management LAN.
For the factory default setting, this port cannot be connected to
the management LAN.
For details, see Network on page 2-11.
Maintenance LAN
port (MAINT)
This port is dedicated for customer engineers for maintenance
purposes.
The user can not use this port.
Serial port (SER) This serial port is for the system console.
Use this port for the initial setting. You can also use this port
when the LAN port cannot be used or the system unit is
performed initial setting.
Tip: You need to prepare following items for LAN port connection.
•
System console
• UTP cable (UTP-5 or higher)
• Client software for HTTP, Telnet, or SSH
The following table describes specification of the factory default network
settings for management module, which are required to connect to HTTP,
Telnet, or SSH.

settings)

Hitachi Compute Blade 500 Series Management Module Setup Guide
Item Specification
Subnet mask 255.255.255.0
HTTPS Available
HTTP Available
SSH Available
telnet Available
The network settings can be changed through the management module
console.
Tip: You need to prepare following items for serial port connection.
• System console
• Serial cable (RS-232C cross cable D-SUB 9-pin female-female connector)
• VT100 Terminal software (Hyper terminal or something)
When connecting the serial port of the management module, the following
table describes the communication parameter setting for the terminal
software.
Table 1-3 Communication parameters settings for terminal software
Item Specification
Communication speed 9600 bps
Data 8 bit
Parity N/A
Stop bit 1 bit
Flow control N/A
The communication speed can be configured to change through the
management module console.
When setting the serial port communication speed, use the active
management module, which causes the standby management module to
have the same setting values.
You need to log out of the serial port connection, from the active and standby
respectively, to reflect the new serial port communication speed on the
system unit. If changing a serial port communication speed when logging in
via serial port, log out of the connection once. If changing a serial port
communication speed when logging in via LAN port, not serial port, log in
with the previous communication speed and then log out. The new
communication speed will take effect at the next login.
Tip: The web console is not available through the serial port.

Hitachi Compute Blade 500 Series Management Module Setup Guide
Connecting cables to management module
This subsection describes cable connection between a management console
and a system console.
Connecting LAN cable
Connect the MGMT0 port of management module at the rear side of the
system unit and the system console with a LAN cable. When two
management modules are installed, connect the cable to the management
module on which the MSR LED emits in green.
Figure 1-2 Connecting management module to system console (with LAN
cable)
Note:
•
Complete a network configuration of the system unit before connecting a
cable to the management module. When a device with the same IP
address as that for the management module or other modules exists on
the network, a failure occurs on the system unit when you connect the
management module to the network.
• Management module need to connect with an external LAN switch while
using in LP mode. For details, see the Hitachi Compute Blade 500 Series
Server Blade Setup Guide.
Tip: The LAN port for system console supports the Auto-MDI/MDIX. So both
straight or cross cables can be used. The communication speed is
automatically selected from 10, 100, or 1000Mbps.
Connecting serial cable
Connect the serial port of management module at the rear side of the system
unit and the system console with a RS-232C cross cable (D-SUB 9-pin
female-female connector). When two management modules are installed,
connect the cable to the management module on which the MSR LED emits in
green.

Figure 1-3 Connecting management module to system console (with serial
cable)
Tip: Use the RS-232C crosses cable (D-SUB 9-pin female-female connector)
to connect system console. The communication speed of factory default
settings is 9600 bps.
