Chassis Management Module

The Chassis Management Module (CMM)
system. This "command" module communicates with the blade units, the power supplies
and the blade switches. Used in conjunction with the Web Interface or IPMI View
management software, the CMM provides administrator control over individual blade
units, power supplies, cooling fans and networking switches and monitors onboard
temperatures, power status, voltage levels and fan speeds.
The CMM provides a dedicated, local and remote KVM (keyboard/video/mouse)
connection over an out of band TCP/IP Ethernet network during any server state
(functioning, blue-screen, powered down, BIOS and so on). It also supports Virtual
Media (VM) redirection for CD, floppy and USB mass storage devices and configures
such information as the switch IP addresses. A summary of CMM features is shown in
Table 4-3.
