Lights out management port of NetScaler MPX
Some NetScaler appliances have an Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI), also known as the lights out management (LOM) port, on the front panel of the appliance. You can use the LOM port to remotely monitor and manage the appliance, independently of the NetScaler software.
Connect the LOM port to a dedicated channel that is separate from the data channel, to maintain connectivity to the appliance even if the data network is down. You eliminate the data cable and data network as a single point of failure.
You can access the LOM port through a browser and use the GUI (GUI) for most tasks. All tasks can be performed through the NetScaler shell.
You can use either the GUI or a shell for the following tasks:
- Configuring the network settings
- Health monitoring
- Power control operations
- Factory reset
- Enable or disable RAKP
Different NetScaler ADC appliances support different shells:
- For FreeBSD based NetScaler MPX, use the
bash nsroot shell (also known as NS Shell).
- For Linux-based appliances, use the Linux bash root shell.
Note
The terms LOM and Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) are used interchangeably.
