Fujitsu ServerView RAID Manager 6.6.5 for Ubuntu

I have updated ServerView RAID Manager on my Ubuntu 16.04.4 servers to 6.6.5 (serverview-raid-manager_6.6-5_amd64.deb) that I ported.

I can't distribute the package. If you need it, please ask your regional Fujitsu support. They may have an official one for Ubuntu.

If you are a North American Fujitsu customer, please open a case with Fujitsu America and request the package. I may be able to provide it. Please understand that Fujitsu does not officially support ServerView for Ubuntu, so this will be provided as-is. Support is on a best-effort basis. If that is fine with you, I will provide the package via your Service Request.

Fujitsu iRMC HTML5 Console

Sometimes our customers ask if there is an alternative to Java-based iRMC Advanced Video Redirection (AVR). The answer is YES. iRMC S4 and S5 support HTML5-based remove KVM. To use the HTML5-based console, you just need to enable the HTML5 viewer option

• iRMC S5
Login to iRMC S5 GUI, and go to Settings --> Services --> Advanced Video Redirection (AVR). Check the HTML5 Viewer option, and click Apply.
• iRMC S4
Login to iRMC S4 GUI, and go to Console Redirection --> Video Redirection. Check the HTML5 Viewer Enabled option, and click Apply.

Once the HTML5 console is enable, you can launch iRMC AVR in HTML5 mode.

As always, you can automate the process. To do that, you can use Fujitsu SCCI. The SCCI code for the iRMC AVR mode is "0x1633", so if you want to use HTML5 instead of Java, create the following XML request file:

$ vi irmc_avr_mode.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<CMDSEQ>
<!-- 0: Java, 1: HTML5 -->
<CMD Context="SCCI" OC="ConfigSpace" OE="1633" OI="0" Type="SET">
  <DATA Type="xsd::integer">1</DATA>
</CMD>
</CMDSEQ>

Then send the XML file to the iRMC config interface.

$ curl -u admin:admin --data @irmc_avr_mode.xml http://<iRMC IP address>/config
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
