Owner's Manual

20 Overview
• CMC provides a mechanism for centralized configuration of the following:
– The M1000e enclosure’s network and security settings
– Power redundancy and power ceiling settings
– I/O switches and iDRAC network settings
– First boot device on the server blades
– Checks I/O fabric consistency between the I/O modules and blades
and disables components, if necessary, to protect the system hardware
– User access security
You can configure CMC to send e-mail alerts or SNMP trap alerts for
warnings or errors related to temperatures, hardware misconfigurations,
power outages, and fan speeds.
You can configure the M1000e chassis either with a single CMC, or with
redundant CMCs. In redundant CMC configurations, if the primary CMC
loses communication with the M1000e chassis or the management network,
the standby CMC takes over chassis management.
