HPE BladeSystem Onboard Administrator Overview

The HPE BladeSystem Onboard Administrator is the intelligence of the BladeSystem c-Class infrastructure (c7000 Enclosure). It is the enclosure management processor, subsystem, and firmware base that supports an BladeSystem c-Class enclosure and all the managed devices contained within the enclosure.

HPE BladeSystem Onboard Administrator provides wizards for simple, fast setup and configuration; highly available and secure access to the BladeSystem infrastructure; security roles for server, network, and storage administrators; agent-less health, status, and thermal logic power/cooling information and control. The HPE BladeSystem Onboard Administrator enables an administrator to configure an enclosure within a few minutes and to configure multiple enclosures simultaneously.

HPE BladeSystem Onboard Administrator provides a single point from which to manage server blades or switches within the enclosure. Management tasks can be performed using the Onboard Administrator GUI, command line interface, and the enclosure's display (Hewlett Packard Enterprise Insight Display). The Onboard Administrator GUI can be accessed from a web browser.

For information about the Onboard Administrator GUI and the enclosure's Hewlett Packard Enterprise Insight Display, see the HPE BladeSystem Onboard Administrator User Guide at the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website http://www.hpe.com/support/OA_UG_en.
