IBM 1754 GCM16 and GCM32 Global Console Managers 11

Tiered consoles

You can tier multiple rack console switches to enable access to additional servers. In a tiered system, an

ARI port on the main rack console switch connects to the ACI port of a tiered rack console switch (see

Figure 3 for locations of these ports). Consider a tiered configuration if you want to manage servers

connected to multiple switches from one central location. For example, you could have a primary GCM16

console switch with 16 switches tiered underneath it that all have servers chained on their ports.

The GCM16 and GCM32 support two levels of tiering. The use of virtual media and smart card

authentication are both supported only when primary and secondary switches are GCM16 or GCM32

console switches.

Figure 6 shows an example of tiered consoles.

Figure 6. Tiered consoles

If there are local users attached to other tiered consoles, each can control target systems connected to

that specific console. The local user at the primary console (Local user A in Figure 6) can preempt other

local users if necessary.

The GCM16 and GCM32 support up to 1024 target systems in a tiered configuration.
