Remote management
The server contains IBM IMM, which provides advanced service-processor control, monitoring, and
alerting functions. 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 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 industry-standard interfaces:
Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) Version 2.0
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) Version 3
Common Information Model (CIM)
