HP Direct Platform Control Console

What is Direct Platform Control Console?

Direct Platform Control (DPC) console is an application that allows remote server

management. It runs on a client workstation that communicates with a server using one of

the following:

• A Windows†2000 Advanced Server-compatible modem.

• A direct RS-232 connection to the server COM2 port.

• LAN (using LAN1 on the cc2300 & cc3300 servers).

DPC console operation is independent of the server operating system. Use DPC Console

to:

• Apply power to a remote server.

• Remove power from a remote server.

• Reset a remote server to either EMP mode or Re-direct Mode.

• Retrieve and display:

 System Event Log (SEL) entries for information about recent server activities,

such as from processors or fans.

 Sensor Data Records (SDR) entries for information about sensor

characteristics.

 Field Replaceable Unit (FRU) inventories of the hardware components on the

server.

 Current Remote Sensor Access (RSA) information.

• Maintain a Phonebook for remote server connection management.

• Transfer files to and from a server.

• Reboot to the service partition to run service partition based utilities on the server.

It also contains a security feature that requires a password entry before initiating a

connection to a managed server.

HP Direct Platform Control Console

Client Workstation Requirements

The following are minimum requirements for the client workstation to run DPC:

Windows 2000 Advance Server Service Pack 2 recommended

 24 MB of RAM, 32 MB recommended

 20 MB disk space

HP Direct Platform Control Console

Server Requirements

The DPC console connects to servers with server management capabilities. Any operating

system can be running on the server. If DPC connects to the server using a serial (modem

or direct) connection, use the server’s Emergency Management Port (EMP). If DPC

connects to the server over the LAN, use the LAN1 port. Configure the connections using

these utilities, depending on the connection type:

• BIOS Setup for a serial connection that allows BIOS redirection

• System Setup Utility (SSU) for a serial or LAN connection

Serial Connection

If the server connection is by external modem or null-modem RS-232 serial cable, the

server COM2 port must be used. If the connection is by modem, the server must use a

Hayes-compatible modem listed on the NT Hardware Compatibility list provided by

Microsoft.

LAN Connection

Use the SSU Platform Event Manager (PEM) to configure LAN access to "Always

Available." For security you can also configure a LAN password in the same dialog.

Refer to the Intel Server Control Installation Guide for the HP cc2300 & cc3300 Carrier

Grade Servers manual for detailed information on how to configure the serial and LAN

connections.

BIOS Setup

Use BIOS setup for communication redirection options. Enter BIOS setup by pressing the

F2 key when the server is booting.

Console Redirection Submenu

The Console Redirection submenu of the BIOS System Management menu sets serial

communication redirection options. Set them as follows:

Com Port Address: Select COM2 2F8 IRQ3. This is the COM2 port that the Emergency

Management Port (EMP) must use.

Baud Rate: Select 19.2K.

Flow Control: Select CTS/RTS + CD.

SSU Setup

SSU setup configures all EMP settings for serial connections and all BMC (baseboard

management controller) LAN settings for LAN connections. For security reasons, when

setting up LAN access, configure a password with SSU, because the DPC user interface

will not allow you to access the password.

HP Direct Platform Control Console

Starting the DPC Console

Click the DPC Console icon in the manager’s tool pane to start the DPC Console

application on the client workstation.

You can also launch DPC Console using the command line.

DPCConsole /modem=[phonenumber], where [phonenumber] is the phone number of

the server.

DPCConsole /direct= [comX], where [comX] is the COM port of the client workstation

direct connection.

DPCConsole /lan=[IPaddress orDNSname], where [IPaddress or DNSname] is the IP

Address or the DNS Name of the server.

Accessing DPC Console Features

Use the DPC Console menus or click a toolbar button to access DPC Console features.

The menu items and toolbar will change according to the available server features.

DPC Console help contains detailed information about user interface features. Use DPC

help for more information.

HP Direct Platform Control Console

SEL Manager

The System Event Log (SEL) manager allows you to:

• View SEL events.

• View the properties of the non-volatile storage area for SEL.

• Save SEL events to a file.

• Print the SEL events to a local printer.

• Clear SEL records from the non-volatile storage area on the server.

SEL events display as a sequential record of managed server events, one event per row.

Those records contain the following information:

• Number of Event

• Timestamp

• Sensor Type and Number

• Event description

• Generator ID

Each of the columns can be sorted by clicking on the column heading. Clicking the

column heading again sorts the column in descending order. Column heading width can be

adjusted.

When the SEL manager is active the SEL menu is added to the DPC Console menu bar

between the Action and Window menus.

SDR Manager

The Sensor Data Records (SDR) manager allows you to:

• View Sensor Data Records.

• View the properties of the non-volatile storage area for SDR.

• View SDR information in a previously stored file.

• Save SDR information to a file.

The SDR Manager displays with a navigation (tree view) pane, a presentation (grid) pane

and a description pane. Selecting an SDR from the tree view displays the corresponding

SDR information in the grid. Both the tree view and grid can be resized using a splitter

bar. The individual data columns in the grid can be resized.

When the SDR manager is active the SDR menu is added to the DPC Console menu bar

between the Action and Window menus.

HP Direct Platform Control Console

FRU Manager

The Field Replaceable Unit (FRU) manager allows you to:

• View some FRU inventory.

• View the properties for a FRU.

• Save FRU inventory information to a file.

The FRU manager displays a hierarchical tree of FRU areas (chassis, product, and board),

and detailed inventory information about a selected area. Select an area in the tree to see

its associated inventory information in the grid on the right. The width of each column in

the grid can be adjusted. A description of each field selected in the grid displays in the

right bottom pane.

RSA Manager

The Remote Sensor Access (RSA) manager allows you to view server baseboard FRU and

SDR information.

It consists of a tree view on the left and a property view on the right. The tree view

displays all detected sensors. The property view displays real time sensor status or sensor

information for the sensor selected in the tree view. Select the appropriate tab to display

either sensor status and sensor information. The displayed information depends on the

selected sensor.

If the connected server is powered down, some sensors cannot be read and their current

status displays as Unknown.

Phonebook

The DPC Console provides a phonebook that stores the server name, server phone number,

IP address for the network card, and the server LAN address. It also allows you to add,

modify, or delete phonebook entries.
