Management considerations

Day-to-day management of the Lenovo ThinkAgile SXM Series solutions and components can be accomplished through multiple interfaces.

Lenovo XClarity Administrator​

Lenovo XClarity Administrator is a centralized resource management solution that simplifies infrastructure management, speeds responses, and enhances the availability of server systems.

The LXCA browser interface is used to manage hardware health, as well as to perform automated firmware updates via Azure Stack Hub patch and update (PnU) functionality.

Microsoft Azure Stack Hub​

Microsoft Azure Stack Hub provides both Administrator and Tenant portals for management of resources and tasks. For information about using the Microsoft Azure Stack Hub management capabilities, see ThinkAgile SXM Series documentation and related content for relevant links.

Switch management​

Lenovo network switches can be managed by LXCA, including hardware monitoring, switch configuration backup, and switch firmware updating.
