IBM BladeCenter Open Fabric Manager Advanced Upgrade for IBM Director - 46C3552
IBM BladeCenter Open Fabric Manager — Advanced Upgrade is an optional stand-alone utility that allows you to define failover pools of BladeCenter servers and create event action plans that can automatically execute in case of a failure or other customer-defined trigger. If a trigger event occurs, a blade in the pool can automatically receive I/O parameters and take over for the original blade.
IBM BladeCenter Open Fabric Manager — Advanced Upgrade enables workload virtualization. This utility provides the capability to configure and automatically migrate I/O address parameters. Now failing blades can have their operating systems and applications automatically migrate to a cold spare blade within minutes.
This option provides all the functions stated above as part of IBM Director. It provides the capability to configure I/O address parameters using a graphical user interface and supports the ability to enable failing blades to have their operating systems and applications automatically migrate to a cold spare blade within minutes. This IBM Director extension provides all the functions of the stand-alone utility integrated into a standard IBM Director console.
IBM BladeCenter Open Fabric Manager — Advanced Upgrade for IBM Director is available with a phased introduction of the advanced functions. Specifically this Phase 1 capability allows you to define failover pools of BladeCenter servers and create action plans that can automatically execute in case of a failure. If a problem occurs, a blade in the failover pool can automatically receive I/O parameters and take over for the failed blade.
