Systems management
Integrated Management Module (IMM)
The System x3400 M2 includes an Integrated Management Module (IMM) that
provides industry standard Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) 2.0-
compliant systems management. The IMM comes standard, and shares one of the
two onboard Ethernet ports for access. The IMM can be accessed via software that is
compatible with IPMI 2.0 (xCAT, for example).
Features and benefits:
• Monitoring:
– System voltages
– Battery voltage
– System temperatures
• Fan speed control.
• Fan tachometer monitor.
• Good Power signal monitor.
• System ID and planar version detection.
• System power and reset control.
• NMI detection (system interrupts).
• SMI detection and generation (system interrupts).
• Serial port text console redirection.
• System LED control (power, HDD, activity, alerts, and heartbeat).
• An embedded Web server gives you remote control from any standard Web
browser. No additional software is required on the remote administrator's
workstation.
• For users who are accustomed to a command-line interface (CLI), the capability
for the administrator to also use the CLI from a Telnet session, will help to
perform some of the functions that can be performed from the Web server.
• Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP).
• Built-in LAN and serial connectivity that supports virtually any network
infrastructure.
• Multiple alerting functions that warn systems administrators of potential problems
through e-mail, IPMI PETs, and SNMP.
In addition, you can purchase an optional remote presence hardware key for
additional systems management function.
