Managing your Thinkserver TS200v –Choices

You have a choice when it comes to managing your ThinkServer TS200v server:

•If you already use Lenovo’s EasyManage tool to manage other ThinkServers in your organisation, then

by loading an EasyManage Agent onto your TS200v, you can manage your new server in the same way:

–The ThinkServer EasyManage Agent enables other systems on the network (including the ThinkServer TS200v) to

be managed by the centralised EasyManage console. The ThinkServer EasyManage Agent is supported on 32-bit

and 64-bit Windows, RedHat and SuSE Linux operating systems

–To install the ThinkServer EasyManage Agent, you must already have a core server running the ThinkServer

EasyManage Core Server program. The ThinkServer EasyManage Agent must be installed from that core server.

Refer to the ThinkServer EasyManage Core Server documentation about Agent deployment for instructions on

the various ways to deploy the ThinkServer EasyManage Agent to your new server. Further information is also

provided in the TS200v Installation and User Guide included with your system.

–Also, the ThinkServer EasyStartup program provides an option to install the ThinkServer EasyManage Agent as

part of the operating system installation process.

•Use the in-built Intel AMT system management functionality in the TS200v:

–The ThinkServer TS200v is the world’s first server to incorporate Intel’s Active Management Technology (AMT)

to provide a flexible and comprehensive server management environment with both local and remote access. It

can also integrate fully with Intel vPro-compliant client devices on the network, allowing you to manage them

using exactly the same interface.

–The exact functionality delivered by AMT depends on the particular model of ThinkServer TS200v that you have,

and in particular, the Intel processor it contains (see functionality table on a subsequent page).

The rest of this document concentrates on how to set up and use the Intel AMT technology

on your ThinkServer TS200v server to manage your new system

ThinkServer TS200v: Systems Management Setup and Use V3.0

AMT functionality by TS200v model

Exact management functionality delivered by either Standard Manageability or AMT 6.0 + Standard Manageability depends

to some extent on the management tool used to access it (eg. raw web access, VNC KVM, Intel Commander, or dedicated

management packages such as EasyManage, Kaseya, etc).

How to access AMT on your TS200v

Several choices, depending on your server

•If you already have an existing management framework to manage the Intel vPro-compliant PC and

Notebook estate in your organisation, then it is likely you will be able to use the same infrastructure to

manage your ThinkServer TS200v server as they are based on compatible underlying management

technology. Consult the documentation for your existing management tools or your reseller to determine

what is possible

•Typical remote infrastructure management tools used by Managed Service Providers (MSPs) natively

support Intel AMT systems management technology (eg. EasyManage, Kaseya, Level Platforms, etc) –if

these are used in or by your organisation, then they can also be used to manage the ThinkServer

TS200v. Ask your MSP.

Other options:
