Supported configurations for managed systems with RSA-II

A managed Windows system with a Remote Supervisor Adapter (RSA) II must have the RSA-II daemon installed and running. The RSA-II daemon for Windows is available at http://www.ibm.com/systems/support/supportsite.wss/docdisplay?brandind=5000008&lndocid=MIGR-5071025 (for x86 version), and at http://www.ibm.com/systems/support/supportsite.wss/docdisplay?brandind=5000008&lndocid=MIGR-5071027 (for x64 version).

For systems that come with a Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) and also have the RSA-II installed, the RSA-II daemon is optional if a supported IPMI driver stack is installed and running. However, the RSA-II daemon adds additional in-band system management functionality beyond the functionality that is offered through the IPMI driver stack with BMC.

Director Agent 6.x does not support systems that do not have a BMC but have only the RSA-II. Use Director Agent 5.20.3x with the RSA-II daemon for these systems.

Acquire and apply the latest firmware for the RSA-II on the managed systems. See IBM product support to locate the latest firmware for RSA-II.
