System Console Prerequisites - Hitachi Compute Blade 2500 Getting Started Manual

The Web console runs on a Web browser that is set up in the system
console. The Web console can manage and set all of the equipment
installed in a server chassis. The Web console adopts the GUI design that
is common to Hitachi storage systems and their storage management
software, and provides operability that is standardized over Hitachi's
consolidated service platforms.
CLI console
The CLI console runs on terminal software that is set up in the system
console. The CLI console executes CLI commands to manage and specify
settings for the system unit. If you create batch programs by combining
CLI commands, you can efficiently execute operations for monitoring and
managing the system unit.
Remote console
This console is started from the Web console, and manages and specifies
settings for a server blade. You can use the remote console to install an
OS in a server blade or create virtual media to be referenced by server
blades.
LCD touch console
The LCD touch console is hardware that is equipped with an LCD touch
panel interface. This LCD touch console is a device that directly connects
to the system unit, and therefore does not require a system console. This
console is suitable for specifying settings when installing a system,
because you can set up a system unit without needing to set up a
network.
