10.1.7 Managing Application Units
An SE server can optionally contain autonomous high-end x86-64 servers, so-called
Application Units (AUs).
The Application Units are integrated into the rack of the SE server when it is supplied, the
internal network is preconfigured, and if requested the operating system is also installed.
The Application Units are incorporated in the status display of the SE Manager and in the
remote service procedure for SE servers.
As administrator you install your own software (e.g. Networker StorageNode or Oracle
products) on the Application Units and perform other administration and configuration
tasks. You add installed applications with web interfaces to the list of applications in the SE
Manager, which enables you to call these applications directly from the SE Manager.
You can access the applications with all roles. As operator or XenVM administrator the
administration functions for modifying the data for accessing Application Units are not
available to you.
Remote access to the console of the Application Unit
For Application Units PY (e.g. AU25 and AU47), the iRMC function Video Redirection
enables remote access to the console of the Application Unit. The console has the same
functions as the local console.
The web interface of the Management Board can be opened in the same way for partitions
of AU PQ . The access to the console of the Application Unit is also available there.
The iRMC/Management Board is also linked in the system operation of the AU or AU
partition.
10.1.7.1 Configuring an Application Unit
Application Units are integrated into the status monitoring and display of the SE Manager
and the remote service procedure of the SE server. The connection to these procedures is
established via basic mechanisms of the operating system on the Application Unit (SNMP
query). No further software is required on the Application Units for the connection.
You check and modify the configuration of the Application Unit in the following cases:
● You (re)install the Application Unit.
● You change the IP address space of MANPU.
● You change the IP address of the MU in MANPU.

"Configuration on the Application Unit."
