7 Managing servers with VIOM
To manage a blade server, you have to access the management blade of the BX600/BX400/BX900 chassis and the IBP modules in the chassis. To access the management module (MMB) and the IBP modules with VIOM, you have to specify data for authentication during activation, e. g. passwords and possibly also protocols and port numbers.
