Overview

Overview 1-1

Remote Diagnostic Management (RDM) is a server service program

that allows server management control via remote station. It utilizes

modems, pagers, and telephone lines to enable a remote station to

monitor and analyze the server condition, update system BIOS

settings and quickly return the system to normal operation. This “quick

response” feature of RDM minimizes the time wasted due to system

failure and therefore, offers the best solution for the distance barrier

issue.

1.1 Features

The following features prove that RDM offers the most efficient and

practical server diagnostic service.

•Maximizes the system operation time by minimizing the down

time

•Offers the most effective diagnostic service and solves the

distance barrier issue

•Enables the remote station to function just like the main console.

It can even monitor the server boot process until the operating

system completes booting.

•Allows automatic system reboot once failure is detected

•OS-independent server, hardware, BIOS and station software

•OS-dependent drivers that can automatically detect the system

OS status

•RDM drivers that support NetWare, NT/server, and SCO UNIX

1.3 Architecture

RDM is consist of three main components:

1.3.1 RDM Agent

The RDM agent refers to the system with an RDM module. An RDM

module contains the microprocessor that acts as the RDM controller.

See Chapter 2 for more details on RDM module.

To enable the RDM module, the RDM agent drivers must be installed

into the RDM agent and the system BIOS must include the RDM

BIOS. Chapter 3 tells how to install the RDM drivers and how to

configure the RDM BIOS.

For information on how to configure the system BIOS, see the user’s

guide that comes with the system.

1.3.2 RDM Station

The RDM station can be any standard PC system with RDM station

software installed and the necessary peripherals connected. For

details on how to install the necessary peripherals, refer to Chapter 2.

See Chapter 3 for information on how to install the RDM station

software.

1.3.3 RDM Connectivity

This refers to the RDM connection. For the RDM agent to establish

connection, it must have the RDM module, button, and the RDM agent

software installed into the server. For the RDM station, it must have

the RDM station software. For detailed information on RDM software,

see Chapter 3.

Peripherals such as modem, telephone lines, and pagers are

necessary for RDM to function properly. The RDM agent and the

RDM station communicate via modem protocol. Chapter 2 tells how to

connect the necessary peripherals into the system.

Make sure that the modem and other

peripherals are turned on. Otherwise, the

RDM agent will not be able to establish

connection with the RDM station. For

information on how to install a modem, refer

to section 2.7.

For simplicity, the RDM agent and RDM

station will be referred to as server and

station, respectively, throughout this

manual.
