Chapter 4. Accessing the IMM2

Use this information to access the integrated management module II (IMM2) remotely by using the
command-line interface (IPMI shell) or serial over LAN, or locally through the LAN over USB interface.
The IMM2 is a second generation of the functions that were formerly provided by the baseboard
management controller hardware. It combines service processor functions, video controller, and remote
presence function in a single chip.
For more information about the IMM2, see
documentation/topic/ com.lenovo.sysx.imm2.doc/ printable_doc.html

Accessing the IMM2 remotely

The integrated management module II (IMM2) provides remote systems-management capabilities.
• Command-line interface
The command-line interface provides direct access to systems-management functions through the IPMI
2.0 protocol. Use the command-line interface to issue commands to control the compute node power,
view system information, and identify the compute node. You can also save one or more commands as a
text file and run the file as a script.
For more information about the command-line interface, see
systemx/documentation/topic/ com.lenovo.sysx.imm2.doc/
• Serial over LAN
Establish a Serial over LAN (SOL) connection to manage compute nodes from a remote location. You can
remotely view and change the UEFI settings, restart the compute node, identify the compute node, and
perform other management functions. Any standard Telnet client application can access the SOL
connection.
See your operating-system documentation for information about SOL commands that you can enter by
using the command-line interface.
• Web interface
Use the secure IMM2 web interface to perform systems-management activities within a web browser. For
information about accessing the web interface, see

Viewing the network access tag

Use this information to locate the IP address by viewing the network access tag, or by using the Setup utility
or systems-management software.
To access the web interface, you need the IP address of the IMM2. You can locate the IP address by viewing
the network access tag. The network access tag is attached to the front of the compute node. The front of
the network access tag lists the first four IMM MAC addresses in the lower-right corner, as shown in the
following illustration.
