*1 Only PRIMEQUEST 2400E and 2800E can have two MMBs. PRIMQUEST 2800B can have only one MMB.
The settings of the management LAN on the partition side are made on the operating system. These are
required to access SVS from a management PC on the management LAN. SVS also communicates with the
MMB via the management LAN to monitor and to switch cluster nodes in the PRIMECLUSTER linkage.
To the NIC to be used for the management LAN, the LAN port on IOU or the network card mounted in the
PCI_Box is assigned. Following is used for Management LAN:
- Onboard LAN ports in IOU.
- PCI express card in IOU or PCI_Box.
The subnet of the management LAN shares the virtual IP address and the physical address of the MMB,
which are specified by Web-UI/CLI on the MMB.
The management LAN and production LAN can be configured in the same subnet. In such case, an IP
address is assigned to both the management LAN and the production LAN on the partition connected to the
subnet of the LAN to which the MMB User Port is connected.

1.3.3 Redundant configuration of the management LAN

For the MMB, only MMB#0 is mounted as standard. By mounting MMB#1, the MMB can be redundant for
PRIMEQUEST 2400E and 2800E. MMB cannot be redundant for PRIMEQUEST 2800B. For PRIMEQUEST
2400E and 2800E, when the MMB detects an error in the MMB itself, it switches the active MMB so that
operations can continue. When the active MMB is switched, the virtual IP address is inherited by the MMB
that becomes active. Therefore, the administrator does not to need to consider which MMB is active.
Adds, edits, or deletes a filter.
- Protocol: Select the target protocol (HTTP/HTTPS/telnet/SSH/SNMP).
- Access Control: Select [Enable] or [Disable].
- Disable: Denies access by any IP address.
- Enable: Permits access by only the specified IP addresses.
-
IP Address/Subnet Mask: You can specify this item only if the [Access
Control] setting is [Enable]. The filtering permits access by only the IP
addresses specified here.
Used to select whether to send e-mail for the occurrence of an event
(Enable/ Disable).
Sender address
Destination address
IP address or FQDN of the SMTP server
E-mail title
Used to edit Alarm E-mail transmission filter settings. The occurrence of any
event specified in the filter settings is reported by e-mail. The default for
target events is all events.
- Severity: Target severity (Error/Warning/Info)
- Partition: Target partition
-
Unit: Target unit
-
Source: Target source (CPU/DIMM/Chipset/Voltage/Temperature/ Other)
Sends test e-mail.
The video redirection/remote storage network relays traffic through the MMB,
so the BMC IP address is not seen by users. Users access the system via
the management LAN of the MMB.
Here, specify the IP address used for access by the video redirection client
(Java applet). The MMB handles address conversion between the specified
address and BMC IP address.
