Changes From CMC Release V1.09:
Added CMC blade event history logging optimized.
SNMP management temporarily removed pending rewrite of MIB
Serial console support for Headless Operation optimized.



CMC Blade event history:
    Blade history downloading has been optimized to correct problems with history downloading locing at 45 events.

    Once the CMC history log has been completely downloaded a clear log button will be displayed at the top of the Hisory log.  Under the Configure tab of CV there is an option to set the level of CMC event to display, from Everything to None.

SNMP Management:
    Due to compatability problems with many SNMP management applications, IE: ones that do not completely implement all SNMP MIB statndards, the SNMP MIB is currently being re-written to work with these application. So, in this release SNMP support has been removed pending rewrite of the MIB.

Serial Console Support:
    This feature allows you to use the a Cubix BladeServer in headless operation.  This will allow you to enter CMOS Setup to change BIOS settings remotely, and will allow access to 3rd party BIOSs such as RAID controllers, provided their BIOS is standard ASCII text.  
    The console app can emulate a VT-UTF8 or VT100 serial console.  The default is VT-UTF8.  
    The serial console baud rate is set under the Configure tab of the CV console.  The default setting is 9600 Kbps.  The port setting is the TCP port the console app will receive redirected serial output from.  The default is 43000.  

Note: Depending on the blade, the default serial baud rate set in the BIOS for serial console redirection will be either 19200 or 9600.  On the 714X blades it is 19200 on the 733X blades it is 9600.  Either the BIOS or the CV Configure tab option must be set to match the other.  In the BIOS, be sure to set both the baud rate in the Remote Console option under the Advanced menu and the Remote access setting under the Advanced/ACPI/Advanced ACPI Configuration.
