1.4 What your blade server offers
Your blade server offers features, such as the integrated management module, storage disk
drive support, microprocessor technology, integrated network support, I/O expansion,
large system-memory capacity, light path diagnostics LEDs, PCI Express
®
, and power
throttling.
• Integrated Management Module (IMM)
The integrated management module (IMM) combines service processor functions,
video controller, the remote presence, and blue-screen capture features in a single
chip. The IMM provides advanced service-processor control, monitoring, and alerting
function. If an environmental condition exceeds a threshold or if a system component
fails, the IMM lights LEDs to help you diagnose the problem, records the error in the
IMM event log, and alerts you to the problem.
Optionally, the IMM also provides a virtual presence capability for remote server
management capabilities. The IMM provides remove server management through
industry-standard interfaces:
− Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) version 2.0
− Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) version 3.0
− Common Information Model (CIM)
− Web browser.
For more information, see Chapter 6, Accessing the IMM on page 99.
•
Dynamic System Analysis (DSA)
Dynamic Systems Analysis (DSA) collects and analyses system information to aid in
diagnosing server problems. DSA collects the following information about the server:
−
Drive health information
−
Event logs for ServeRAID controllers and service processors
−
Hardware inventory, including PCI and USB information
−
Installed applications and hot fixes
−
Kernel modules
−
Light path diagnostics status
−
Network interface and settings
−
Performance data and details about processes that are running
−
RAID and controller configuration
−
Service processor (integrated management module) status and configuration
−
System configuration
−
Vital product data and firmware information
DSA creates a DSA log, which is a chronologically ordered merge of the system-event
log (as the IPMI event log), the integrated management module (IMM) chassis-event log
(as the ASM event log), and the operating-system event logs. You can send the DSA
log as a file to Bull service or view the information as a text file or HTML file.
For more information, see the Problem Determination and Service Guide.
• Hard disk drive support
The blade server supports up to four solid state drives (SSDs). You can implement RAID
0 or RAID 1 for the SSDs.
