IBM Express IBM Integrated Management Module Advanced Upgrade - M4 (90Y3901)

Redbooks - http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/tips0849.html?Open Integrated Management Module II (IMM2) is the second-generation management module integrated on System x servers. IMM2 will offer three levels of functionality: Basic, Standard, and Premium. Starting with IMM2, the Virtual Media Key will no longer be used. Upgrading to Standard or Advanced will be performed using a software license key using a procedure named IBM Feature on Demand (FoD). IMM2 Basic has the following features: Industry-standard interfaces and protocols Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) Version 2.0 Common Information Model (CIM) Advanced Predictive Failure Analysis (PFA) support Continuous health monitoring Choice of a dedicated or shared Ethernet connection Domain Name System (DNS) server support Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) support Embedded Dynamic System Analysis (DSA) LAN over USB for in-band communications to the IMM Serial over LAN Server console serial redirection Note: IMM2 Basic does not include web browser or remote presence capabilities. IMM2 Standard (as standard in some servers or as enabled using the Feature on Demand software license key in other servers) has the following features: Secure web server user interface Remote firmware updating Remote power control Access to server vital product data (VPD) Advanced Predictive Failure Analysis (PFA) support Automatic notification and alerts Continuous health monitoring and control Choice of a dedicated or shared Ethernet connection Domain Name System (DNS) server support Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) support E-mail alerts Syslog logging support Embedded Dynamic System Analysis (DSA) Enhanced user authority levels LAN over USB for in-band communications to the IMM Event logs that are time stamped, saved on the IMM, and that can be attached to e-mail alerts Support for Industry-standard interfaces and protocols: IPMI V2.0, CIM, and SNMP OS watchdogs Remote configuration through Advanced Settings Utility (ASU) Serial over LAN Server console serial redirection User authentication using a secure connection to a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) server IMM2 Advanced (as enabled using the Feature on Demand software license key) has the following features: Remote presence, including remote control of server via a Java or Active x client Operating system failure screen capture and display through the web interface Virtual media allowing the attachment of a diskette drive, CD/DVD drive, USB flash drive, or disk image to a server Note: For servers such as the x3100 M4 and x3250 M4, IMM2 Advanced requires IMM2 Standard to be purchased and enabled. The blue-screen capture feature captures the video display contents before the IMM restarts the server when the IMM detects an operating-system hang condition. A system administrator can use the blue-screen capture to assist in determining the cause of the hang condition. The following table lists the remote management option.
