Discovering A Single-Node Hx5 Via Ibm Systems Director - IBM System x3850 X5 Implementation Manual

9.5.3 Discovering a single-node HX5 via IBM Systems Director

Managing an HX5 with IBM Systems Director provides you added benefits, including
centralized management of hardware alerts and inventory capabilities. The methods that are
used to discover the HX5 IMM are similar to the methods that are used to discover the IMM of
a stand-alone server. The only difference is that the IMM on the HX5 is not configured with an
external IP address; therefore, discovery of the HX5 is carried out via the AMM.
Complete these steps to discover a single-node HX5:
1. Log in to the IBM Systems Director web interface by navigating to the following URL,
where servername is the DNS registered name of your IBM Systems Director:
http://servername:8421/ibm/console
For example: http://director6.ibm.com:8421/ibm/console
You can also connect to the IBM Systems Director web interface using its IP address:
http://ipaddress:8421/ibm/console
For example: http://182.168.1.10:8421/ibm/console
2. Select Inventory  System Discovery in the left pane of the IBM Systems Director
console.
3. Enter the IP address in the text box.
4. In the Select the resource type to discover list box, make sure that you select
BladeCenter Chassis as the resource type. This selection allows IBM Systems Director
to use the correct discovery protocols to locate the chassis, as shown in Figure 9-29.

5. Click Discover Now. The discovered chassis appears in the Discovered Manageable
Systems area at the bottom of the System Discovery pane.
6. Right-click the No access icon under the Access column and click Request Access.
Tip: If the access status appears as Unknown, right-click the Unknown icon and select
Verify Connection. Click Verify Connection. The status changes to No access if IBM
Systems Director can communicate correctly with the IMM.
