Service Processors

You can use a Services Processor to monitor and manage your storage system parameters such as temperature, voltage, current, and fan speeds through Storage Manager.

  • Isolating management network traffic
    It is a best practice to configure SP/BMC and the e0M management interface on a subnet dedicated to management traffic. Running data traffic over the management network can cause performance degradation and routing problems.
  • Assigning IP addresses to Service Processors
    You can use Storage Manager to assign IP addresses to all of your Service Processors at the same time and to use these Service Processors to monitor and manage various system parameters of your storage systems.
  • Editing Service Processor settings
    You can modify Service Processor attributes, such as the IP address, the network mask or the prefix length, and the gateway address, by using Storage Manager. You can also allocate IP addresses to Service Processors that do not have any IP addresses assigned.
  • Understanding the Service Processor
    A Service Processor is a system-independent resource in the storage system that helps you to monitor and manage storage system parameters such as temperature, voltage, current, and fan speeds.
