Blade Management Module
To Activate the Blade Module
The Blade Module is an optional, paid-for, plug-in feature that enables the AlterPath Manager to provide console management of chassis, blades and switches. Once configured, the module allows authorized users to remotely manage the blades by providing access to the remote console and remote disk of a blade server.
All blades provide authorized users with Command Line Interface (CLI), KVM/IP, virtual media, and power options. Like most devices supported by the AlterPath Manager, alarm notification, continuous logging, group and user management are integrated into the module. For security, blade users are controlled by the Control Access List (ACL) which is configured through the Security Rules settings.
The Blade Module also comes with a Blade Wizard which enables the admin user to configure up to 14 blades and 4 switches for each chassis. There is no limit to the number of chassis that the Blade Module can support.
