SNMP manager
Any computer running SNMP manager software. Also called a network
management station or SNMP server.
SNMP manager software
Displays data about managed devices on the console or saves the data in a
specified file or database. Some network management programs such as HP
OpenView graphically show information about managed devices.
SNMP server (See SNMP manager)
SoL (serial over LAN)
Access to the console of a server or other device that supports redirection of
serial server data to a dedicated Ethernet port. Permits access to and control of
the BIOS and operating system console over the LAN or Internet. Eliminates
the need for the device to have a serial port and the need for serial cabling to
enable console access. On the OnSite, once a device’s SoL Ethernet port is
connected to one of the OnSite’s private Ethernet ports, an authorized user can
access the server or a device’s console either through the “Device console” or
“devconsole” option (available on the Web Manager, rmenush, or
onbdshell) or through entering the devconsole command with ssh
on the command line).
SP (service processor)
Ethernet-based management controller on a server, which provides out-ofband management through an interface between the server’s administrator
and an internal baseboard management controller (BMC) that enables the
management features. Management features can include serial console
emulation (using Telnet or IPMI), KVM over IP, power control, sensor and log
information from the server hardware, and virtual media.
SRM (secure rack management)
An out-of-band infrastructure (OOBI) capability delivered by the AlterPath
OnSite that isolates the management ports (emergency service ports) of
servers that have service processors from the production network. Physically
consolidates and logically secures the Ethernet connections between the
AlterPath OnSite and the connected service processors. By providing IP
