Distributed service subsystem architecture for distributed network management

摘要

A distributed service subsystem comprises one or more cabinets containing one or more computer systems, one or more administration consoles for controlling the computer systems in the cabinets, and a network interconnecting the administration consoles and the cabinets. Each of the cabinets includes a cabinet module interface controller (CMIC) coupled to and controlling one or more chassis management boards (CMBs). The CMBs are each adapted to communicate with one or more managed components in the cabinet through a component specific interface.
