The LayGO DAS collector for the PXS is bmc. The PXS should configured to run bmc as the default application. To define this, at the RedBoot prompt enter:
RedBoot> default Default application: hdlcsrv RedBoot> default bmc Default application: bmc
Now bmc will automatically run when the RedBoot timeout expires.
bmc needs the IP address of the file server
running Remote File Server to which it should send
the files it donwloads from the switch. To set the file server, use the
RedBoot ftp command. For instance, if the
IP address of the remote file server is 192.168.250.3, enter:
RedBoot> ftp 192.168.250.3 FTP Server: 192.168.250.3
You should also enable remote logging by setting the address of a server
running the remote log server. For instance, if the
IP address of the remote log server is also 192.168.250.3, enter:
RedBoot> log 192.168.250.3 Log Server: 192.168.250.3 RedBoot> logging enable Logging: enabled
bmc supports the following command line options. These may be set using the RedBoot options command.
