3.2 IBM Flex System Chassis Management Module (CMM)
The IBM Flex System Chassis Management Module (CMM) is a hot-swap module that
configures and manages all installed chassis components. The chassis comes with one IBM
Flex System Chassis Management Module in the CMM bays.
The IBM Flex System Chassis Management Module auto-detects and manages the hardware
of the entire IBM Flex System Enterprise Chassis. It communicates with the management
controller in each node (IMMv2 in intel processor-based computer nodes, FSP in power
Power7 processor-based nodes), along with the management applications of storage node
and I/O modules to provide centralized system monitoring and management.
3.2.1 Overview of IBM Flex System Chassis Management Module
A IBM Flex System Chassis Management Module (CMM) gives control over the IBM Flex
System at the chassis level, simplifying installation and management of your installation.
The CMM is central to the management of the chassis, and is required in the IBM Flex
System Enterprise Chassis. One CMM comes standard with the chassis. There are two CMM
bays in the chassis, giving the user an option to add a second CMM for redundancy.
Through an embedded firmware stack, the CMM implements functions to monitor, control,
and provide external user interfaces to manage all chassis resources. Key functions of the
IBM Flex System Chassis Management Module are:
򐂰 Single-chassis management
򐂰 Initial setup configuration wizard from http/s interface
򐂰 Detailed system health status for components, along with suggested recovery actions
򐂰 Chassis level Hardware inventory management
򐂰 Chassis Configuration and Validation
򐂰 System and component Status information
򐂰 Component LEDs states and controls.
򐂰 Event handling and Notification
򐂰 Hardware access states
򐂰 Fan status and control
򐂰 Thermal management and monitoring
򐂰 Power management and control
򐂰 Switch modules - monitor and Control access
򐂰 Security features and policies
򐂰 Service data collection and call home services
򐂰 Configuration backup and restore
򐂰 Firmware updates
򐂰 Low Level Service Processor Resets
򐂰 Nodes and I/O module configuration and management
򐂰 Diagnostics
򐂰 Network management
򐂰 Chassis and compute node initialization
Note: The IBM Flex System Enterprise Chassis supports up to 84 local CMM user
accounts, and allows up to 32 simultaneous sessions.
