intuitive graphical interface initializes all phases of server setup, including
discovery, update, and configuration. Features include templates that enable
replication of settings to many servers and automation that reduces hands-on
time and user errors. Wizards and other default settings enable customization
capabilities. The low-touch, set-once and walk-away feature reduces the
hands-on server setup time from days to minutes, particularly for larger
deployments. For information about this tool, see http://www.ibm.com/
support/entry/portal/docdisplay?brand=5000008&Indocid=TOOL-FASTSET.
v Integrated management module II
Use the integrated management module II (IMM2) for configuration, to update
the firmware and sensor data record/field replaceable unit (SDR/FRU) data, and
to remotely manage a network. For information about using IMM2, see "Using
the integrated management module II" on page 99 and the Integrated
Management Module User's Guide at http://www-947.ibm.com/support/entry/
portal/docdisplay?lndocid=migr-5086346.
v VMware ESXi embedded hypervisor
An optional USB flash device with VMware ESXi embedded hypervisor software
is available for purchase. Hypervisor is virtualization software that enables
multiple operating systems to run on a host system at the same time. The USB
embedded hypervisor flash device installs in the USB connector on the system
board. For more information about using the embedded hypervisor, see "Using
the embedded hypervisor" on page 101.
v Remote presence capability and blue-screen capture
The remote presence and blue-screen capture features are integrated functions of
the Integrated Management Module II (IMM2). The remote presence feature
provides the following functions:
– Remotely viewing video with graphics resolutions up to 1600 x 1200 at 75 Hz,
regardless of the system state
– Remotely accessing the server, using the keyboard and mouse from a remote
client
– Mapping the CD or DVD drive, diskette drive, and USB flash drive on a
remote client, and mapping ISO and diskette image files as virtual drives that
are available for use by the server
– Uploading a diskette image to the IMM memory and mapping it to the server
as a virtual drive
The blue-screen capture feature captures the video display contents before the
IMM restarts the server when the IMM detects an operating-system hang
condition. A system administrator can use the blue-screen capture feature to
assist in determining the cause of the hang condition.
v Ethernet controller configuration
For information about configuring the Ethernet controller, see "Configuring the
Gigabit Ethernet controller" on page 104.
v Configuring RAID arrays
For information about configuring RAID arrays, see "Configuring RAID arrays"
on page 104.
v IBM Advanced Settings Utility (ASU) program
Use this program as an alternative to the Setup utility for modifying UEFI
settings and IMM settings. Use the ASU program online or out of band to
modify UEFI settings from the command line without the need to restart the
server to access the Setup utility. For more information about using this
program, see "IBM Advanced Settings Utility program" on page 106.
