3.3.5 Accessing I/O Modules using FSM
In an IBM Flex system, node to node communication happens within the Chassis.
Network Control
Network Control is a plug-in that enables utilization of integrated network management
capabilities of an FSM. It has the following key features:
򐂰 Logical network management – allows management of port profiles, VLANs, ACLs and
QoS in virtualized, live-migration environments
򐂰 Leverages 802.1Qbg standards in integrated switches and PowerVM, KVM and IBM
“Osiris” vSwitch for VMware
򐂰 Optional Fabric Management extends QoS Management providing advanced monitoring,
VM priority and rate limiting
򐂰 Network monitoring at a glance via network topology perspectives with the ability to see
the components affected by network outages
򐂰 Enable end-to-end network and virtualization management
To access Network Control, from IBM FSM Explorer, select Home menu  Network
Control, as shown in Figure 3-71.

This will open up the Network Control interface, which shows management and configuration
options for the IBM Flex System I/O Modules, as shown in Figure 3-72 on page 131.
