About the Veritas Remote Management Console
The Veritas Remote Management Console provides management and monitoring capabilities independently of the host system's CPU, firmware, and operating system. This console is accessible through the Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) network port on the back of each appliance node. For the best support and initial configuration experience, Veritas recommends that you configure the IPMI port and make it accessible on your network.
The Veritas Remote Management Console is beneficial after an unexpected power outage shuts down the connected system. In case the appliance node is not accessible after the power is restored, you can use a PC to access the appliance node remotely by using a network connection to the hardware rather than to an operating system or login shell. The Veritas Remote Management Console enables you to control and monitor the appliance node even if it is powered off, unresponsive, or without any operating system.
You can use the Veritas Remote Management Console for the following:
Manage an appliance node that is turned off or unresponsive. Turn on, turn off, or restart the appliance node from a remote location.
Provides out-of-band management and helps manage situations where local physical access to the appliance is not possible or preferred, like branch offices and remote data centers.
Access the Access Appliance shell menu remotely when the appliance is not accessible using regular network interfaces.
Reimage the appliance node using ISO redirection.
Monitor appliance node hardware health from a remote location.
Avoid messy cabling and hardware like keyboard, monitor, and mouse (KVM) solutions.
