- RackHD classified main server node features into four tiers as below:
- Tier 1: Discovery, Catalog, Telemetry, Power Management and UID LED control
- Tier 2: OS Installation
- Tier 3: Firmware Update
- Tier 4: RAID Configuration, Secure Erase
RackHD utilizes industry standard protocols to talk with server such as IPMI, PXE, etc. So in theory, any server that supports those protocols can be supported by RackHD at T1 & T2 feature level easily. Many community users have been using RackHD to support various severs from HP, Lenovo, Inspur etc.
Specific for Cisco server, RackHD supports UCS Manager solution provided by Cisco to manage server nodes behind UCS manager. So user could use “RackHD + UCS service” combination to support big range of Cisco servers.
Specific for Dell server, we provided extended services “smi_service” to support additional Dell server advanced features such as WSMAN. So user also could use “RackHD + smi_service” combination to support big range of Dell servers (ex: 14 Gen server, Dell FX2) and more features.
The RAID Configuration and Secure Erease Feature rely on underlying hardware support. Currently RackHD supports LSI Megaraid RAID card series, so any server that uses this card could support these features.
InfraSIM vNode is a virtualized server which could simulate most features in a physical server. It is widely used by RackHD team in feature development and testing. (see more at https://github.com/InfraSIM/)
