Figure 8. Lenovo XClarity Administrator dashboard
Because Lenovo XClarity Administrator does not require any agent software to be installed on the managed
endpoints, there are no CPU cycles spent on agent execution and no memory is used, which means that up to
1GB of RAM and 1 - 2% CPU usage is saved, compared to a typical managed system where an agent is
required.
Lenovo XClarity Administrator currently supports only a subset of function with ThinkServer systems:
Discovery
Inventory
Monitoring & alerting
Call home
Functions that are not currently supported are:
Centralized user management
Cryptography modes, server certificates, and encapsulation
Configuration patterns
Operating system deployment
Firmware updates
Rack view for tower-based servers

ThinkServer System Manager
ThinkServer System Manager (TSM), Lenovo’s integrated systems management technology, is standard on the
ThinkServer TD350. TSM operates independently of the server. It provides hardware-based, out-of-band remote
access and management to ThinkServer systems, regardless of the server’s power state or the condition of the
operating system.
