Access to the iRMC of the Management Unit

The iRMC of the Management Unit can be used optionally. It must be connected to the public management network MANPU to permit this.

The predefined account admin is available to the administration on the iRMC.

The following functions of the iRMC’s web interface are recommended for administration purposes:

• Powering the Management Unit on/off (Power Management -> Power On/Off )
  Power On enables the Management Unit to be started up remotely.

• Changing the local password (User Management -> iRMC S4 users )

Security-relevant actions

• User management

  • The iRMC's web interface implements the specifications of IPMI Version 2.0. Consequently the user management is available to the administrator in its complete scope.

    The SE server is delivered with an initial password for the pre-defined admin account, which you can obtain from Customer Support.
    Change the password immediately after you have logged in for the first time!

  • It is possible to create further (personalized) accounts. These should not, however be equipped with higher privileges than the predefined account admin: At iRMC level admin has the operator privilege and the additional privileges of user management and console redirection.
    However, since administrative activities are extremely rare on the iRMC of the Management Unit, there is no need for further accounts.

  CAUTION!

  You are urgently recommended not to change the password of the service account or to delete this account. If you do, the serviceability of the iRMC is not guaranteed, and the serviceability of the Management Unit is consequently also impaired.
  However, if such a measure is necessary, it must always be agreed on with the Support Center.
  Nor may the function account x2kinternal be changed, otherwise the functionality of the SE Manager will be impaired.

• Protection functions
  • You can log out from the iRMC’s web interface by means of Logout. When you leave your workstation, this can be used as an alternative or in addition to the locking mechanisms of the administration PC.
