Overview

The Appro Cluster Management solution is an outstanding hardware and software monitoring and management tool that gives you in-depth visual status on all your hardware subsystems. The Appro Cluster Management Solution is designed exclusively for the Appro HyperBlade Clusters but it is also compatible with Appro 1U servers. It delivers a cost-effective and simple solution to system administrators.

The Appro BladeDome Remote Management Software

Features:

Status Summary
BladeDome Cluster Monitor is easy to set up and manage. Red, yellow and green lights indicate the health of your servers. This management tool lets you drill down into your hardware subsystems to check the status of each server.

Failure Notifications
Send a customized e-mail that alerts specified individuals when operating conditions exceed predefined thresholds.

Remote Management capability
Provides in-band-and out-of-band remote management capabilities. If a node falters or stops functioning, the system administrator is able to locally or remotely power up another node for load balancing.

Platform Monitoring
Thermal sensors continuously monitor system temperatures, fan-fail, over-temperature and voltage. The Power Status shows which servers are on and off. The Power Delay allows users to configure the sequence that power is turned on or off for each server in a cluster. This helps avoid power in-rush at start-up and allows users to predetermine which server will be turned on first.

Configuration and Server Admin
Remote Server Admin tools let you configure and monitor all key services of the HyperBlade Server — locally or remotely. If you prefer using a terminal window, Server Admin provides extensive command line tools to configure, monitor and manage your systems remotely. Shell scripts can easily be built for customer management needs. If network services are down, BladeDome Admin tool is equipped with a serial port that lets administrators access the system through a serial console session.

Optional Provisioning Manager - New
Using Appro’s optional Provisioning Manager, you can rapidly, reliably, and remotely deploy operating systems, applications, patches, and more across all servers simultaneously – saving hours of administrative time and reducing human error. Appro’s powerful provisioning management capabilities allow you to implement, configure, or repurpose large numbers of servers, quickly, easily, and with consistent results.
