Overview of the VTM and VTM Console
The Virtual Technician Module (VTM) is an adapter with firmware, which is an add-on
part of an Express5800/320Ma system. The firmware on the VTM enables authorized
system administrators to manage and diagnose the system from the local system or,
more typically, from a remote system.
You can use the VTM regardless of the state of the host system because the VTM runs
on standby power and has its own network connection, CPU, memory, and operating
system.
The VTM console is the Web-based interface used to monitor the Express5800/320Ma
system and to manage and diagnose system problems. The VTM console runs on a
Web browser through an HTTP server on the VTM, and provides authenticated and
secure access to the Express5800/320Ma system from any location.
System administrators typically use ftServer Management Console (ftSMC), a snap-in
to Microsoft Management Console (MMC), to manage and monitor an
Express5800/320Ma system. However, if the host system is inaccessible from ftSMC
because of network or system problems, administrators can log on to the VTM console
to troubleshoot the problem and attempt to restore the system. For more information
about ftSMC, see the online Help for ftSMC.
