Access to native functions on some SPs is through a proprietary web interface on the SP. HP iLO, Dell DRAC and IBM RSA II SPs have a local web server running and provide a web interface that allows administrators remote access for provisioning, monitoring and managing the server. The web interface is accessed through a specific port number.
The monitoring and management features supported by some SPs through native web interfaces include access to the server’s serial or graphical user interface, power control, access to sensor data and server event logs, SNMP agents and virtual media.
