Embedded Dynamic System Analysis, and IBM Systems Director.

The chassis-based AMM, in combination with the HX5 blade server’s IMM, provides industry-

standard Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) 2.0-compliant systems

management. The AMM 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

• VLAN support

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

• Local update of IMM firmware

• Firmware firewall

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

• Other mandatory and optional IPMI functions in the blade’s IMM

The IMM, via the management module, alerts IBM Systems Director to anomalous environmental

factors, such as voltage and thermal conditions—even if the server has failed.

Other systems management features offered for the combination of blade server and chassis

include:

• Predictive Failure Analysis for system processors, memory and HDDs, as well as chassis switch

modules, blower modules and power modules

• Web-based out-of-band control

• Latest OS failure screen capture

• Remote virtual media

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

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

IBM ToolsCenter consolidates 42 needed tools for managing servers individually into an

integrated suite of 8 tools. They are organized by function: deployment, updates, configuration

and diagnostics. Tools are now simpler to access and use with a single webpage for access, a

common look and feel and a common command line interface for the scripting tools. The

ToolsCenter Bootable Media Creator offers significantly more functionality than past tools with

the ability to add more tools to the bootable image and to automatically download the bootable

environment if needed. Bootable Media Creator allows you to create bootable CDs, DVD, and

USB keys for updates customized to your systems.

In order to put control of processor power-saving features at the fingertips of administrators, IBM

developed IBM Systems Director Active Energy Manager. Active Energy Manager is designed to

take advantage of new processor features, such as balancing the performance of the system

according to available power input. It provides the ability to plan and predict power consumption

based on your BladeCenter hardware configuration. It also helps you reduce the infrastructure

required for redundancy, by using fewer servers on smaller power feeds and potentially lowering

your overall data center support costs. It does this by inventorying all components at the blade

level, then adding up the power draw for each blade and tracking that usage. In failure mode,

Active Energy Manager (through the BladeCenter Management Module) might request that certain

blades in each domain throttle down to reduce power consumption.

Automatic Server Restart (ASR) helps reduce downtime by restarting the server automatically in

the event of a system lockup. ASR technology is a combination of hardware circuitry tied into the

server’s system reset function and a device driver. As long as the server continues running, the

ASR watchdog timer will keep being reset, but if the operating system crashes or the hardware

freezes somehow the ASR software will be unable to reset the hardware timer. If the timer is not

reset within five minutes, it automatically triggers the ASR hardware, which immediately restarts

the server (and logs an ASR event with IBM Systems Director). These features are designed so

that no more than five minutes can pass before the server is restarted.
