6. Now, the IP address, subnet mask and default gateway of the CMM can be changed
according to the network environment (see
Figure 4-5 ). Please refer to the
Web-based Management Utility User’s Manual on your system’s CD-ROM for more
information.
CMM Functions
The following sections describe local functions and remote functions of the CMM. With
only minor exceptions, all of the remote functions can be performed by one of three
mechanisms: web-based access to the CMM module, access to the CMM using
IPMIview , a client tool implemented in Java, or via IPMItool commands (DOS
commands or shell scripted commands).
When the web based browser is used, the CMM acts as a web server, requiring a higher
bandwidth connection to the CMM. If there are any bandwidth constraints, IPMI will
provide a superior experience. Additionally, since graphical updates are provided by
client-side Java, IPMIview can also be a superior user experience.
IPMItool on the other hand can provide the ability to issue similar/identical commands to
many SuperBlade enclosures/CMM’s to manage all of them in a similar way.
In addition to accessing the SuperBlade capabilities through CMM, they can also be
accessed directly on a blade by blade basis if the blades are equipped with SIMBL to
provide IPMI control of each individual blade.
