The VMware ESXi embedded hypervisor software is available on the optional
IBM USB flash device with embedded hypervisor. The USB flash device can be
installed in the USB connector on the SAS/SATA RAID riser card (see the
following illustration). Hypervisor is virtualization software that enables
multiple operating systems to run on a host system at the same time. The USB
flash device is required to activate the hypervisor functions. For more
information about using the embedded hypervisor, see "Using the embedded
hypervisor" on page 411.
v Remote presence and blue-screen capture features
The remote presence and blue-screen capture features are integrated functions of
the Integrated Management Module (IMM). The remote presence feature
provides the following functions:
– Remotely viewing video with graphics resolutions up to 1280 x 1024 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 414.
v Configuring RAID arrays
For information about configuring RAID arrays, see"Configuring RAID arrays"
on page 415.
v IBM Advanced Settings Utility (ASU) program
Use this program as an alternative to the Setup utility for modifying UEFI
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 415.
v Service Advisor
The Service Advisor feature can collect data about the system when the system
detects a fault and sends that data to IBM Service for problem determination. It
also includes the call home feature that automatically calls IBM Service when a
problem occurs. The Service Advisor feature is integrated into the Integrated
Management Module (IMM). For more information about the Service Advisor
feature, see "Enabling the Service Advisor feature" on page 414.
