Monitoring and Managing the Appliances
with BMC
The SteelFusion Edge appliances include Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) support for the
RiOS node.
The BMC monitors the physical state of the appliance. The BMC tracks system and network watchdogs,
error logs, and sensors. The sensors of a BMC measure internal physical variables such as temperature,
power settings, voltage levels, and fan speeds. You can configure alerts for activity detected outside
specified limits.
The BMC also lets you start, restart, and turn off the appliance remotely.
This appendix provides an overview of the features of the BMC on the SteelFusion Edge appliances. It
