Systems management
The System x3650 M5 supports the following systems management tools:
Integrated Management Module 2.1
Light path diagnostics
Lenovo ToolsCenter
Lenovo XClarity Administrator
Lenovo XClarity Energy Manager
Integrated Management Module 2.1
The System x3650 M5 server contains Integrated Management Module II (IMM2.1), which provides advanced
service-processor control, monitoring, and an alerting function. If an environmental condition exceeds a
threshold or if a system component fails, the IMM2.1 lights LEDs to help you diagnose the problem, records the
error in the event log, and alerts you to the problem. Optionally, the IMM2.1 also provides a virtual presence
capability for remote server management capabilities.
The IMM2.1 provides remote server management through industry-standard interfaces:
Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) Version 2.0
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) Version 3
Common Information Model (CIM)
Web browser
The optional Integrated Management Module Advanced Upgrade is required to enable the remote presence
and blue-screen capture features. The remote presence feature provides the following functions:
Remotely viewing video with graphics resolutions up to 1600x1200 at 75 Hz with up to 23 bits per pixel
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 IMM2.1 restarts the server
when the IMM2.1 detects an operating system hang condition. A system administrator can use the blue-screen
capture to assist in determining the cause of the hang condition.
