SambaRack Manager is a tool for centralized hardware administration of customer-managed, on-premises SambaRack deployments. SambaRack Manager enables operations at four levels:
  • Rack: A complete SambaRack unit, including nodes and networking components.
  • Node: An individual SN40L node unit within a Rack, excluding networking components.
  • Device: Individual hardware components in a Rack.
  • Group: A collection of Racks for batch operations.
See What’s in the Rack for more details.
SambaRack Manager is not used for administering Kubernetes or SambaStack software.
