GIGABYTE Server Management (GSM)

GIGABYTE Server Management (GSM) is GIGABYTE's proprietary multiple server remote management software platform, available as a free download from each GIGABYTE server product page. GSM is compatible with either IPMI or Redfish (RESTful API) connection interfaces, and comprises the following sub-programs:

• GSM Server, a software program with an easy to use browser-based GUI to enable global remote monitoring and management of multiple GIGABYTE servers via each server node's BMC.
• GSM CLI, a command-line interface program to enable global remote monitoring and management of multiple GIGABYTE servers via each server node's BMC.
• GSM Agent, a software program installed locally on each GIGABYTE server node that retrieves additional node information (CPU/Mem/HDD/PCI/...) from the OS and passes it to the BMC. This information can then be utilized by GSM Server or GSM CLI.
• GSM Mobile, a remote server management mobile APP, available for both Android and iOS.
• GSM Plugin, a plugin that allows the user to manage and monitor GIGABYTE server nodes within VMware's vCenter.

Intuitive & Informative User Interface

Starting from the GSM Server dashboard, the user can clearly understand the status of each node in the IT environment, including:

• Node connection status (system is online/offline)
• Node hardware sensor status (to detect hardware anomalies). Sensors measure voltage, fan speed and temperature
• Node usage rate status (allowing you to timely allocate more resources when they are needed), including:
  • Power consumption
  • Disk/RAID usage information
  • Memory usage rate
  • CPU usage rate
  • Network card / PCI information

The user can also perform various management functions, including:

• Node remote access
  • Power on / off / reset
  • Launch iKVM
  • Reboot BMC / BMC Account Configuration
• Network Configuration
  • IPv4/IPv6 setting
• Alert Management
  • SNMP trap setting
  • Platform events filters
  • Forwarding alerts by email
• BMC / BIOS / CPLD Update
• Power Consumption Limit Setting
• Group Management
  • Create groups of nodes for BMC / BIOS update or manage power consumption settings

GSM Mobile for iOS and Android

A GSM Mobile app is available for download for both iOS and Android mobile phones for remote server management on the go.

Management through VMware vCenter

A GSM Plugin is available for VMware's vCenter, allowing the user to perform remote monitoring and management of GIGABYTE server nodes without having to switch to a separate software platform.
