Function | Description |
---|---|
Administration | To launch a remote-control session for any device, you must have lxc-supervisor, lxc-admin, lxc-security-admin, lxc-fw-admin, lxc-os-admin, lxc-hw-admin, lxc-service-admin, or lxc-hw-manager privileges . You cannot launch remote control using lxc-operator or lxc-recovery privileges (see Creating a custom role). |
Device management | Serial numbers are listed for each RAID drive (see Viewing the details of a managed server). Hardware metrics are collected for ThinkSystem DM storage devices. XClarity Administrator can use user accounts in an external LDAP server or stored credentials to log in to ThinkSystem SR635 and SR655 servers (see Managing servers). You can launch a remote-console session to the baseboard management controller for ThinkSystem SR635 and SR655 servers (see Using remote control to manage ThinkSystem or ThinkAgile servers). |
Device configuration | Single sign-on is supported for ThinkSystem and ThinkAgile
servers (except SR635, SR655, SR645, and SR665). This means that you
can launch the management interface for a managed ThinkSystem and
ThinkAgile servers from XClarity Administrator without having the
log in (see Launching the management controller interface for a server). You can set the time zone on managed rack servers using configuration patterns (see Defining extended management-controller settings). |
