Advanced Systems Management Capabilities

The x3620 M3 has a high level of systems management capabilities that are well-suited to remote locations as well as to stand-alone environments. Features include UEFI, IMM, IBM ToolsCenter, IBM Systems Director Active Energy Manager, Automatic Server Restart, Wake on LAN® support, PXE support, text console redirect, Predictive Failure Analysis, and IBM Systems Director.

The Integrated Management Module (IMM) provides industry-standardIntelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) 2.0-compliant systems management. It provides a number of important system functions, including:

•Monitoring of system and battery voltage, system temperature, fans, power supplies, processor and DIMM status

•Fan speed control

•Product ID and Family ID detection

•Highly secure remote power on/off

•System reset control

•NMI/SMI detection and generation

•System diagnostic LED control (power, HDD, activity, alerts, heartbeat)

•IPMI over LAN

•Serial Over LAN

•Proxy server support

•LAN messaging and alerting

•Text console redirection over LAN

•Predictive Failure Analysis for system fans

•Web-based out-of-band control

•SSL (Secure Socket Layer) and LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) support

•Enhanced authentication and encryption algorithms (RMCP+ and AES)

•VLAN support

•Local update of IMM firmware

•Firmware firewall

•Support for IPMI v2.0 compliant management software (e.g., xCAT)

•Other mandatory and optional IPMI IMM functions

The IMM alerts IBM Systems Director to anomalous environmental factors, such as voltage and thermal conditions—even if the server has failed.

The x3620 M3 also supports an optional IBM Virtual Media Key for additional systems management capabilities, including:

•Latest OS failure screen capture

•Graphical console redirection over LAN

•Remote virtual floppy and CD-ROM

•High-speed remote redirection of PCI video, keyboard and mouse
