IBM NeXtScale nx360 M4 Type 5455: Installation and Service Guide
The integrated management module II (IMM2) combines service processor
functions, video controller, and remote presence and blue-screen capture features
in a single chip. The IMM 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 IMM 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 the following industry-standard interfaces:
– Intelligent Platform Management Protocol (IPMI) version 2.0
– Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) version 3
– Common Information Model (CIM)
– Web browser
For more information about the integrated management module II (IMM2), see
"Using the integrated management module" on page 33, Appendix A,
"Integrated Management Module II (IMM2) error messages," on page 185, and

Two editions of IBM Dynamic System Analysis (DSA) are available for
diagnosing problems, DSA Portable and DSA Preboot:
– DSA Portable
DSA Portable collects and analyzes system information to aid in diagnosing
server problems. DSA Portable runs on the server operating system and
collects the following information about the server:
- Drive health information
- Event logs for ServeRAID controllers and service processors
- Installed hardware, including PCI and USB information
- Installed applications and hot fixes
- Kernel modules
- Light path diagnostics status
- Microprocessor, input/out hub, and UEFI error logs
- Network interfaces and settings
- RAID controller configuration
- Service processor (integrated management module) status and
configuration
- System configuration
- Vital product data, firmware, and UEFI configuration
DSA Portable creates a DSA log, which is a chronologically ordered merge of
the system-event log (as the IPMI event log), the integrated management
module (IMM) event log (as the ASM event log), and the operating-system
event logs. You can send the DSA log as a file to IBM Support (when
requested by IBM Support) or view the information as a text file or HTML
file.
Note: Use the latest available version of DSA to make sure you are using the
most recent configuration data. For documentation and download information
for DSA, see http://www.ibm.com/systems/management.

and DSA messages.
