SDMC network connections (1 of 2)

• SDMC to host (managed system) – Control function requests through the hosts FSP – Required for managed system management

• SDMC to virtual server – Collect platform-related information – Coordinates certain platform activities (dynamic and hot-node repair) – Required to use service and error notification features

• SDMC to remote users – Access to SDMC management interfaces and functions

– Remote client or web browser – Secure Socket Shell (SSH) to access the SDMC command line

• SDMC to service and support (call-home) – Transmits data, such as hardware error reports, inventory data, and

microcode updates, to and from service provider

Figure 1-42. SDMC network connections (2 of 2) AT591.0

Notes:


SDMC network connections (2 of 2)

• Use HMC network design principles

– The same SDMC networks as for previous HMC networks

• Best practice: – Use at least one separate isolated network for FSP communication

• The SDMC can be DHCP server on the isolated FSP network• The FSPs can be added with static IP addresses or address ranges

– If the SDMC is not enabled as DHCP server then auto discovery will bedisabled and all network objects will have to be added manually

– Use at least one separate network for accessing the SDCMmanagement interfaces, and network connection to virtual servers

– Optional third interface for network connection to virtual servers – Limit changes to the firewall configuration

• Can lead to adverse results if not configured properly

Figure 3-3. SDMC and managed system LAN topology AT591.0

Notes:

Now that you have powered on your new SDMC and configured some basic networkoptions, the nest step is to see how to get the SDMC communicating with a managedsystem.

• Both the SDMC and the managed system must be connected to the same network(private or open).

• By connecting the SDMC (either directly to a port, or to a port through an internet orintranet) to the managed system, you are establishing communication between theSDMC and the service processor (SP).

• Continue on the next visual.

Figure 3-4. SDMC network options AT591.0

Notes:

A Private Network includes only the SDMC and the managed systems. The Ethernet porton the SDMC, defined as a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server usuallyautomatically recognizes the managed systems (defined as DHCP clients) in a privatenetwork when the process is carried out correctly. SDMC provides an automated methodfor the DHCP server to assign an IP address to DHCP clients in a network.

• SDMC is directly connected to the managed system via a private network.

• The SDMC in your private network has one of its Ethernet ports configured as the(DHCP server) for your private network.

• The managed system has its HMC port configured as a DHCP client.

• A second Ethernet port on the SDMC can be configured to connect to an open network,as a DHCP client or with a static address.

The cabling option are:

• Option-1: Connect one of the Ethernet ports on the SDMC directly to one of the serviceprocessor (HMC) ports on the managed system; the diagram on the left.


SDMC network options

• Private network: – SDMC = DHCP server – Managed systems = DHCP client

DHCP client

• Direct attach: – SDMC – Managed system

• Indirect attach: – SDMC – Hub/Switch – Managed systems

• Option-2: Connect one of the Ethernet ports on the SDMC to a hub (private), whichalso has the managed systems connected to it through the service processor (HMC)ports, the diagram on the right.

Note :

• The SDMC cabling options are the same as they were for the HMC.

• If you configure a DHCP Server on the SDMC, you have to connect the SDMC to themanaged system’s HMC port before you supply power to the managed system. If notthe managed system’s service processor can assign the IP address.

Figure 3-18. Redundancy and high availability AT591.0

Notes:

Implementing IBM Systems Director Management Console (SDMC) in a high availability(HA) or a redundant setup can provide improved serviceability to the SDMC appliance andprovides backup to the system in case of a disaster.

Users familiar with the redundant HMC setup in their Power Systems environment can usethe same setup in SDMC, as multiple SDMCs can connect to and actively manage a singlemanaged server.

Users can also implement SDMC High Availability, which provides active/passive failovercapability, with one active SDMC and one passive SDMC on standby to take over in caseof failure.

In addition to providing the management capabilities currently in the HMC for the managedPower System servers, the SDMC also can manage the operating systems of the serversthemselves by connecting to the Common Agent Services (CAS) agent on the managedsystems through an agent manager. However, the CAS agent is limited to a singleconnection to an agent manager and is not capable of a redundant connection.



• Redundant

– Two SDMCs can manage the same Power System host at the sametime – Active/Active mode – Without configuration synchronization

• High availability – Two SDMCs can manage the same Power System host one at a time

– Active/Passive mode – With configuration synchronization

• High availability setup:Settings tab > Configuration Tasks > High Availability Settings
