Description

The VT009 is a carrier which utilizes the VadaTech VT002 Shelf Manager. The carrier has integrated on it an Intelligent Fan Controller as well as an Power Entry Module (PEM).

When two VT009s are in the system, they operate in redundant active/standby mode. During operation one VT009 is active while the second one is synchronized in hot standby mode. The VT009 is fully hot-swappable to minimize service down time.

Each IPMI bus has a 64-byte FIFO to allow for a full IPMI packet on each I2C bus so there is no packet loss during operation.

The VT009 can also run as a protocol analyzer to monitor, inject, capture and validate I2C traffic on the Intelligent Platform Management Bus (IPMB). A Graphical User Interface (GUI) validates and displays the IPMI packets or schedules IPMI messages for injection into the shelf. The GUI application communicates with the VT009 through the Ethernet port.
