Discovering and managing the BMC

Users can use Lenovo XClarity Integrator to discover the BMC and associate the BMC to the ESXi host, so as to enable out-of-band (OOB) management for the target servers in the vSphere environment.

Lenovo XClarity Integrator supports two ways to discover and manage the BMC:
  • Discover and manage the BMC directly
    Note
    This is not applicable to the following servers:

    • ThinkServer servers

    • ThinkSystem SR635

    • ThinkSystem SR655

  • Discover and manage the BMC through Lenovo XClarity Administrator
Note
For the ThinkSystem servers, the CIM service is disabled by default. Depending on the firmware level, LXCI might enable the CIM service to manage the server.
