1 iFIST overview

The integrated Fast Intelligent Scalable Toolkit (iFIST) is a single-server management tool

embedded in H3C servers. You can access iFIST directly after the server startup and initialization

are complete. No manual installation is required.

iFIST enables you to perform a range of configuration and management tasks on the local server

from a simple, unified Web interface, including:

•Configuring RAID arrays.

•Installing operating systems.

•Diagnosing key server components.

•Exporting and importing storage controller configurations.

iFIST features and functionality

iFIST provides the following features and functionality:

•OS Installation Wizard—Configure RAID arrays and install an operating system for the server

on a logical drive.

•Server Diagnostics—Diagnose the health status of the components on the server.

•Storage Controller Configuration—Manage the storage controller configuration.

OS Installation Wizard

Traditionally, administrators must go to different feature pages to complete acomplicated set of tasks

in order to install an operating system on a server.

iFIST integrates the OS installation tasks into the OS installation wizard that guides you through the

installation process step-by-step from a unified interface. The OS installation wizard reduces

operation complexity and chances of misconfigurations.

Through the iFIST OS installation wizard, you can configure RAID arrays, install drivers, and export

and import configuration files. After the installation configuration is complete, iFIST automatically

installs the operating system on the server.

Server Diagnostics

Server Diagnostics scans the components on the server to collect statistics for component-based

performance and health diagnosis. It facilitates server troubleshooting and reduces the risks of

unexpected problems during server usage.

Server Diagnostics supports diagnosing various components on the server, including the CPU, PSU,

fan, HDM, memory, and PCIe devices.

Storage Controller Management

Storage Controller Configuration displays storage controller configuration information (except RAID

information) on the server, and allows you to save the configuration to a file for backup. When a

configuration restoration is needed or the storage controller malfunctions, you can use the file to

one-click restore the saved storage controller configuration.

1-2

Applicable scenarios

When access to a remote HDM system is not available, you can use iFIST for in-band local server

management.

To use iFIST on a server, you must connect a monitor, a keyboard, and a mouse to the server.

Applicable products

This guide is applicable to the following products:

•H3C UniServer R2700 G3

•H3C UniServer R2900 G3

•H3C UniServer R4700 G3

•H3C UniServer R4900 G3

•H3C UniServer R4950 G3

•H3C UniServer R5300 G3

•H3C UniServer R6700 G3

•H3C UniServer R6900 G3

•H3C UniServer R8900 G3

•H3C UniServer B5700 G3

•H3C UniServer B5800 G3

•H3C UniServer B7800 G3

2 Guidelines

The information in this document might differ from your product if it contains custom configuration

options or features.

The model name of a hardware option in this document might differ slightly from its modelname label.

A model name label might add a prefix or suffix to the hardware-coded model name for purposes

such as identifying the matching server brand or applicable region. For example, storage controller

model HBA-1000-M2-1 represents storage controller model label UN-HBA-1000-M2-1, which has a

prefix of UN-.

products.

3 Signing in to iFIST

Preparing for an iFIST sign-in

You can sign in to iFIST on a server either directly or from the remote console of the HDM Web

interface.

The following information describes the prerequisites for a successful sign-in to iFIST.

Prerequisites for a direct iFIST sign-in

To sign in to iFIST on a server directly, you must connect a monitor, a mouse, and a keyboard to the

server.

For a rack server such as an H3C UniServer R4900 G3 server:

•Connect the monitor to the server through the VGAconnector.

•Connect the mouse and keyboard to the server through the USB connectors.

Figure 3-1 Connecting a monitor, a mouse, and a keyboard to a rack server

For a blade server such as an H3C UniServer B5800 G3 server, connect the monitor, mouse, and

keyboard to the server through SUV connectors, as shown in Figure 3-2.
