Server management subsystems enable overall system monitoring and control. The subsystems include dedicated and redundant Ethernet-based networks that interconnect all
managed chassis and VMSs.
Any additional systems in Cabinet 1 (680 SMP, 2800, Aster 5, or Hadoop 5) use the server management network in 2850 Cabinet 1 (the base cabinet).
The server management network consists of two physical networks on separate paths:
- Primary network — for direct management communications of all managed chassis in all cabinets, through Server Management Web (SMWeb) Services.
- Secondary network — for backup communications of all chassis that support a second Ethernet connection, through SMWeb Services.
