Secure Serial over IP Console Management: The Virtual Crash Cart
The Avocent CCM console manager provides secure in-band and out-of-band connectivity
modes to ensure quick access to critical devices whether the network is up or down. Console
management features such as share mode, encryption, offline history buffering, hardware
break suppression, and power management distinguish the CCM appliance from simplistic
terminal servers. Blending seamlessly into your existing network, the CCM appliance may be
accessed using the Avocent DSView® 3 management software and AVWorks® cross-platform
management application. The CCM appliances are equally compatible with industry-standard
Telnet and SSH clients. The CCM console manager SNMP MIB2 and enterprise traps integrate
directly with existing SNMP management systems allowing for proactive monitoring.
New Tools For Console Redirection
Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI)
- IPMI technology, accessible
through Avocent CCM appliances, allows for remote management of new breed of
servers. The IPMI specification is an industry-standard for platform independent system
management. An embedded BMC (Baseboard Management Controller) in an IPMI-
compliant device collects internal hardware information such as processor temperature, fan
speeds and power supply voltage. The BMC runs independently of the underlying hardware
and software, which enables it to continue to function if the server becomes unresponsive. It
also allows administrators to log important system events and remotely manage and recover
failed systems. IPMI also provides power management, allowing servers to be turned on or off or
even gracefully shut down.
Serial over LAN - More importantly, BMC subsystems are able to capture and redirect
(serial console I/O) using a new protocol called Remote Management Control Protocol, or
RMCP. The Avocent CCM appliance is the industry’s first console server to serve as a Telnet
or SSH gateway to RMCP traffic. Using the CCM appliance, it is possible to establish
virtual serial ports that rely upon RMCP in the same manner as its physical ports rely
upon serial cabling. These virtual ports offer the same features as physical ports
including: share mode, encryption, offline buffering, NFS, data-specific traps, dial access
and more. Direct BMC access provides the added benefit of secure, remote power control.
