Introduction

HDM supports the unified control feature, which can be used to manage up to 10 servers. After adding servers, you can view the device information, and perform operations such as accessing HDM, managing the power supply, connecting to the H5 KVM, and deleting devices. The following information provides examples for configuring the unified control feature of HDM.

Prerequisites

Procedures and information in the examples might be slightly different depending on the software or hardware version of the products.

The configuration was created and verified in a lab environment, and all the servers and software were started with the factory default configuration. If the device has been configured, ensure that the existing configuration does not conflict with the configuration in the following examples.

The following information is provided based on the assumption that you have basic knowledge of the unified control feature.

Applicable scenarios

The following information applies to the scenarios where multiple servers are managed in a unified manner through HDM. The unified control feature can unify the login portal and simplify operations of the O&M staff.

Example: Configuring unified control

Network configuration

As shown in Figure 1, the H3C UniServer R4900 G5 (R4900 G5 for short) and H3C UniServer R4700 G3 (R4700 G3 for short) are connected to the PC client through the dedicated port, and network communication is normal. It is required that the unified control feature be used to add and manage the R4700 G3 server on the HDM Web page of the R4900 G5 server.

Analysis

Log in to the HDM Web page of R4900 G5, and use the unified control feature to add the R4700 G3 server. After adding the server, you can view the device information, and perform operations such as accessing HDM, managing the power supply, connecting to the H5 KVM, and deleting devices.

Software versions used

This example was created and verified on HDM 2.98.

Procedures

Logging in to the HDM Web page

1.     Open a browser on a client, and then enter the HDM management IP address 192.168.99.88 to open the HDM login page. On the HDM login page, enter the default username admin and the default password Password@_, and click Login to log in to the HDM Web page, as shown in Figure 2.

Adding a server

 

NOTE: ·     Before entering the HDM management IP address or IP address range of the server to be added, ensure that this HDM management IP addresses of the server to be added and the current server are in the same network segment. ·     When adding devices, the specified IP range can contain a maximum of 255 IP addresses. If the specified IP range contains IP addresses of over 10 devices, the system adds the 10 devices whose information is obtained first. ·     As a best practice, enter the username and password of an administrator user. If you enter the username of a non-administrator user when adding a device, some functions will be unavailable.

 

1.     Click Add devices. In the dialog box that opens, enter the HDM management IP address of the R4700 G3 server, and HDM username and password, as shown in Figure 4. In this example, the default username admin and password Password@_ are entered.
