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, seehttp://www.ibm.com/support/entry/

Accessing the IMM2 remotely

The integrated management module II (IMM2) provides the following remote
systems-management capabilities:
v Command-line interface (IPMI Shell)
v Serial over LAN
See your operation-system documentation for information about SOL comands that
you can enter by using the command line interface.

Obtaining the IP address for Web interface access

Use these instructions to obtain the IP address for Web interface access.
To access the Web interface, you need the IP address of the IMM2 which you can
obtain through the Setup utility. To obtain the IP address, complete the following
steps:
1. Connect a keyboard, monitor, and mouse to the console breakout cable and
2. Turn on the compute node (see "Turning on the compute node" on page 13).
3. When the prompt Press <F1> Setup is displayed, press F1. If you have set an
4. Select System Settings → Integrated Management Module → Network
5. Locate the IP address.
6. Exit from the Setup utility.

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.
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.
connect the console breakout cable to the compute node.

the full Setup utility menu. If you do not type the administrator password, a
limited Setup utility menu is available.
