Onboard Administrator overview

NOTE: The Monarch OA is the Active OA in enclosure 1. It provides complex-wide administrative
functions, such as partition management, event logs, and error diagnostics. IOX enclosure devices
are managed through the Monarch OA.
Many OA settings must be managed on the Monarch OA and are automatically copied to the
other OAs in the complex, such as user accounts and settings, power options, and feature
enablement. Some settings are managed locally on each OA, such as the IP configuration and
OA certificates.

Detecting component insertion and removal

Onboard Administrator provides component control in HP Integrity Superdome 2 Blade Enclosures.
Component management begins after the component is detected and identified. The Onboard
Administrator detects components in Superdome 2 enclosures through presence signals on each
bay. When you insert a component into a bay, or connect an IOX, the Onboard Administrator
immediately recognizes and identifies the component. If you remove a component from a bay the
Onboard Administrator deletes the information about that component. An IOX will be marked
Failed if it is disconnected while the system is active. The Monarch OA must be rebooted to remove
an IOX from the complex.

Identifying components

To identify a component, Onboard Administrator reads an FRU EEPROM that contains specific
factory information about the component such as product name, part number, and serial number.
All FRU EEPROMs in Superdome 2 enclosures are powered on, even if the component is powered
off. Therefore, Onboard Administrator can identify the component before granting power. For
devices such as fans, power supplies, and Insight Display, Onboard Administrator directly reads
the FRU EEPROMs.
The server blades contain several FRU EEPROMs: one on the server board, which contains
server information and embedded NIC information, and one on each installed mezzanine
option cards.
Server blade control options also include extensive blade hardware information including:
◦
Blade and partition firmware versions
◦
Blade name
◦
NIC and option card port IDs
◦
Port mapping
Onboard Administrator provides easy-to-understand port mapping information for each server
blade and interconnect module in each enclosure.
The NIC and mezzanine option FRU data informs Onboard Administrator of the type of interconnects
each server requires. Before power is provided to a server blade, Onboard Administrator compares
this information with the FRU EEPROMs on installed interconnect modules to verify for electronic
