Lights out management port of the NetScaler SDX appliance
The SDX ADC 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.
By connecting the LOM port to a dedicated channel that is separate from the data channel, you can make sure that connectivity to the appliance is maintained even if the data network is down. Further you can reduce 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 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
Different NetScaler ADC appliances support different shells:
- For Citrix Hypervisor based NetScaler SDX appliances, use the dom0 Linux root shell. To access the dom0 shell, log on to the Citrix Hypervisor management IP address instead of the SDX Management Service IP address, using the
root account, not the nsroot account.
- For Linux based appliances, use the Linux bash root shell.
Note
The terms LOM and Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) are used interchangeably.
Caution: LOM firmware versions are platform specific. Upgrading to a LOM firmware version other than the one shown for your platform in the LOM support matrix table, might result in the LOM becoming unusable.
