Remote management
The server contains IBM Integrated Management Module (IMM), which provides advanced
service-processor control, monitoring, and alerting function. If an environmental condition exceeds a
threshold or if a system component fails, the IMM lights LEDs to help you diagnose the problem, records
the error in the event log, and alerts you to the problem. Optionally, the IMM also provides a virtual
presence capability for remote server management capabilities.
The IMM provides remote server management through industry-standard interfaces:
Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) Version 2.0
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) Version 3
Common Information Model (CIM)
