application enables you monitor your IBM Flex System hardware remotely.

The Mobile System Management application provides access to the following types of IBM Flex System 
information:

Health and Status

Monitor health problems and check the status of managed resources

Event Log

View the event history for chassis, compute nodes, and network devices

Chassis Map (hardware view)

Check the front and rear graphical hardware views for a chassis

Chassis List (components view)

View a list of the hardware components installed in a chassis

Inventory Management

See the Vital Product Data (VPD) for a managed resource (for example, serial number or IP address)

Multiple chassis management

Manage multiple chassis and multiple management nodes from a single application

Authentication and security

Secure all connections using encrypted protocols (for example, SSL), and secure persistent 
credentials on your mobile device

You can download the Mobile System Management application for your mobile device from one of the 
following app stores:

Google Play in the Android operating system

iTunes in the Apple iOS

Command-line interface

The command-line interface (CLI) is an important interface into IBM Flex System Manager management 
software, and it can be used to accomplish simple tasks directly or as a scriptable framework for 
automating functions that are not easily accomplished from a graphical user interface. The IBM Flex 
System Manager management software includes a library of commands that you can use to configure the 
management software or perform many of the systems management operations that can be 
accomplished from the management software web interface.
