MergePoint 5200
The MergePoint ® 5200
service processor (SP) manager streamlines and
consolidates the management of servers with SP
technologies; specifically, Intelligent Platform
Management Interface (IPMI, versions 1.5 and 2.0),
Dell® Remote Access Card (DRAC) and HP® Integrated
Lights-Out (iLO).
As part of the MergePoint 5200 series of service
processor managers, the MergePoint 5200 appliance
provides secure Serial over LAN (SoL) console access,
power control and server hardware monitoring, along
with IPMI provisioning and SP auto discovery. When used
in conjunction with DSView® 3 management software, the
MergePoint 5200 SP manager provides essential server
coverage, which complements the overall management
infrastructure.
The MergePoint 5200 appliance offers both a
feature-rich Web user interface as well as a command
line interface that leverages the Systems Management
Architecture for Server Hardware Command Line Protocol
(SMASH CLP), a standards-based user and scripting
interface defined by the Distributed Management Task
Force (DMTF). This provides a single command line
interface to manage servers from multiple
manufacturers, simplifying management and streamlining
interoperability while providing scripting and
automation capabilities.
The MergePoint 5200 appliance not only makes it easier
to take advantage of SP features, but also enhances SP
functionality with add-on features. For example, the
SoL feature complements the continuous data logging
capabilities, resulting in additional security and
auditing. Also, simultaneous power control of multiple
servers boosts the already existing power management
capabilities of SPs, including graceful shutdown
support for IPMI. These features allow the user to
completely unleash the power of SP technologies.
The MergePoint 5200 appliance also eases the deployment
and management of these technologies. With easy-to-use
IPMI provisioning capabilities and an auto discovery
mechanism for server management technologies within the
network, the MergePoint 5200 appliance is ideal for
enterprise data centers as well as for high performance
computing (HPC) and other clustering environments.
