HPE KVM Server Console Switch G2 with Virtual Media & CAC: технические характеристики и документация

HPE KVM Server Console Switch G2 with Virtual Media & CAC

The HPE Server Console Switch with Virtual Media is a key component in managing the data center. Connections for two local consoles (a console represents one keyboard, monitor and mouse) allow access to multiple servers running various operating systems. Virtual Media capability allows a USB drive attached directly to the server console switch to be mapped to an attached server for installations and upgrades. The local console user interface provides menus for configuration, virtual media, display, and even security and upgrades.

In tiered environments the Server Console Switch with Virtual Media can allow an administrator to manage up to 1024 servers across two tiers from a single console. When tiered with additional HPE Console Switches with Virtual Media application installations and upgrades can be pushed through to any server on any of the two tiers from a single console. 

The HPE Server Console Switch with Virtual Media is backwards compatible with all HPE Cat5 based Server Console Switches and interface adapters. 

Standard rack mounting of the HPE Server Console Switches will take up 1U (1.75") of front panel rack space. However, the Switches can also be mounted behind the HPE LCD8500 KVM Console Kit or in a "zero U" profile by mounting in the side rails of the rack.

Target Applications and Markets

Network Administrators, System Administrators, Engineering Managers, Chief Information Officers, and Managers of Information Systems are all among the users who will see benefits from using the HPE family of server console switches.

• Easy access to multiple servers (any server with PS2 or USB I/O connection port)
• Multi-platform management from one console (Microsoft® Windows®, Novell, UNIX®, Linux etc)
• Non-intrusive control and management of servers HPE Server Console Switches are "out-of-band," allowing server activity to be viewed on multiple systems without interfering in any way

Features

New Features:

• Common Access Card (CAC) support
• True Serial
• DVD Support
• Video resolution supporting up to 1600 x 1200 on the local port

- Widescreen video support modes include; 1680 x 1050, 1440 x 900, 1280 x 800, 1024 x 640, 800 x 500

• Two local ports; these local ports are defined differently between the digital and analog appliances.

- For the digital appliances, the local ports will be represented by one ACI connection and one local KVM connection. The two ports will be independent of one another (i.e. not pre-emptive or shared).

- For the analog appliance, the local ports are represented by an ACI connection and two sets of local KVM connections. One of the KVM connections is tied to the ACI connection, so that KVM connection cannot be used if the ACI is connected. The second KVM connection is independent of the ACI and first KVM connections/paths.

• Supports Virtual Media (VM), Tiering up to 2 levels (base plus one lower level) through the ACI port.
• Supports existing ITFC server modules, backward compatible.
• Dual-stack IPv6 with stateless auto configuration
• Support for DVD-ROM data over virtual media
• Syslog support
• BladeSystem c-Class KVM Interface Adapter for supporting BladeSystem c-Class servers

Standard Features:

• Local console user interface - same as remote On Board Web Interface (OBWI) which displays system-related information on the console monitor such as selected server name, status, power-up test data, configuration menus and virtual media.
• Programmable Scanning - An evaluation of system performance can be made by sequentially scanning any or all of the computers in the system. Programmable scanning allows you to determine which computers to include as well as the duration of the connection.
• Configuration NVRAM - NVRAM (non-volatile RAM) makes it easy to set configuration information using commands entered from the keyboard. The NVRAM stores the resulting configuration until a user decision is made to change the information, even if the unit loses power.
• Password Protection - For protection against unauthorized users, the switch box provides a password option for security purposes.
• Switch Firmware Update - The application code of the switch can be quickly and easily updated via FLASH ROM. Updates can be accomplished over the LAN eliminating the need to carry a notebook into the data center to perform firmware upgrades.
• Multiple Space Saving 0U Installation Methods

- Side Mount - Rails are provided for mounting the unit to the side of rack cabinets with side mounting capability.

- Rear Rack Mount - HPE Console Switches may be mounted behind a HPE LCD8500 KVM Console Kit with slide rails provided with the switch.

• PS2 Virtual Media Interface Adapter support servers with PS2 mouse and keyboard connection and a USB port for virtual media (recommended for ProLiant servers).
• USB Virtual Media Interface Adapter supports servers without PS2 mouse and keyboard connections such as Integrity servers running Microsoft Windows.

- USB 2.0 protocol and speed supported on both Virtual Media Interface Adapters.

• Virtual Media Interface Adapters provide Common Access Card (CAC). Virtual Media speed with the CAC Interface Adapters is USB 1.1 Full Speed.
• Support for a variety of server connections with Interface Adapters where virtual media is not needed.

- PS/2

- USB mouse and keyboard

- VT100 serial console support

- BladeSystems p-Class support via front diagnostics connector

• The following input devices provide a convenient front USB pass through port for connecting USB media to the Server Console Switch with Virtual Media

- HPE 1U Rackmount Keyboard with USB

- HPE LCD8500 KVM Console Kit

Tiered Configurations

Tiering is the ability to connect one or more switches under a single switch at the top as in a pyramid. Tiering allows an administrator to access larger numbers of servers from a single local or remote console. The HPE IP Console Switch G2 with Virtual Media & CAC will support up to 2 levels of tiering under certain conditions

• HPE IP Console Switches can be supported at the top or at the second tier of a tiered configuration.
• HPE IP Console Switches with Virtual Media may be tiered to HPE Server Console Switches with Virtual Media or any Cat5 based HPE Server Console Switches by connecting a Cat5 cable from a server port on the top switch to the dedicated tiering port on the switch below. Interface adapters are not needed to tier HPE Server Console Switches.
• Virtual media can be mapped to servers on any tier but only if the server is connected to a HPE Server Console Switch with Virtual Media using a Virtual Media Interface Adapter. Virtual media operation requires a Virtual Media Interface Adapter connected to a HPE Console Switch with Virtual Media.
• To perform a firmware upgrade for a tiered HPE Server Console Switch and all attached Interface Adapters; you must connect to the tiered HPE KVM Server Console Switch OBWI.
