The NetScaler SNMP traps in the NetScaler MIB report software failures and hardware load issues. The RETScreen® Clean Energy Management Software platform enables low-carbon planning, implementation, monitoring and reporting. The LOM SNMP traps in the MIB report hardware failures. For the most part, the Netscaler relies extensively on the LOM to detect hardware problems, since the NetScaler MIB has a very small subset of hardware sensors. From all I’ve read about Netscaler’s implementation of the IPMI standards, the architecture should be as shown below. The LOM connects to various hardware sensors using the System Management serial Bus. Not all the components depicted are applicable to the SDX LOM. īelow is a diagram of the IPMI architecture. The ipmitool utility is also available for download at. The ipmitool utility incorporated into the dom0 shell on the Xenserver makes this possible. The LOM runs a web server for access via the browser but can also be accessed via CLI by logging onto the Xenserver management IP using the “root” account. An ARM-based micro-CPU that manages the interface between the system management software (LOM web server) and the platform management hardware. The intelligence behind all this is the Baseboard Management System (BMC) chip. Hence, it must be plugged in but the appliance need not be powered on. It should be noted that the LOM only shares power with the SDX appliance. This design allows the LOM to remotely manage the appliance even when it is powered off. The above features and all supported features are implemented directly in the LOM’s management hardware and firmware thereby making it independent of the Netscaler’s CPU, BIOS, and OS. – Monitoring (temperatures, fans, voltages, etc.) The features supported by the LOM include: Support for the SDX hardware is via proprietary extensions of IPMI 2.0 for the LOM GUI. It is built on top of the Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI), an open standard for the autonomous monitoring, event logging, and power control of hardware. The Netscaler SDX appliance has a built-in LOM port in the front panel for out-of-band management. ![]()
