Integrated Management Module 2.1
The System x3250 M6 server contains an Integrated Management Module II (IMM2.1), which provides
advanced service-processor control, monitoring, and an alerting function. If an environmental condition
exceeds a threshold or if a system component fails, the IMM2.1 lights LEDs to help you diagnose the
problem, records the error in the event log, and alerts you to the problem. Optionally, the IMM2.1 also
provides a virtual presence capability for remote server management capabilities.
The IMM2.1 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)
Web browser
The optional Integrated Management Module Advanced Upgrade is required to enable the remote
presence and blue-screen capture features. The remote presence feature provides the following functions:
Remotely viewing video with graphics resolutions up to 1600x1200 at 75 Hz with up to 23 bits per
pixel
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 IMM2.1 restarts the server
when the IMM2.1 detects an operating system hang condition. A system administrator can use the blue-
screen capture to help determine the cause of the hang condition. The following table lists the remote
management option.
