IBM Flex System V7000 Storage Node Introduction and Implementation Guide

The IBM Flex System Chassis Management Module (CMM) is a hot-swap module that 
configures and manages all installed chassis components. The chassis comes with one IBM 
Flex System Chassis Management Module in the CMM bays.

The IBM Flex System Chassis Management Module auto-detects and manages the hardware 
of the entire IBM Flex System Enterprise Chassis. It communicates with the management 
controller in each node (IMMv2 in intel processor-based computer nodes, FSP in power 
Power7 processor-based nodes), along with the management applications of storage node 
and I/O modules to provide centralized system monitoring and management. 

A IBM Flex System Chassis Management Module (CMM) gives control over the IBM Flex 
System at the chassis level, simplifying installation and management of your installation. 

The CMM is central to the management of the chassis, and is required in the IBM Flex 
System Enterprise Chassis. One CMM comes standard with the chassis. There are two CMM 
bays in the chassis, giving the user an option to add a second CMM for redundancy.

Through an embedded firmware stack, the CMM implements functions to monitor, control, 
and provide external user interfaces to manage all chassis resources. Key functions of the 
IBM Flex System Chassis Management Module are:

��

Single-chassis management

��

Initial setup configuration wizard from http/s interface

��

Detailed system health status for components, along with suggested recovery actions

��

Chassis level Hardware inventory management

��

��

Security features and policies

��

Service data collection and call home services

��

Configuration backup and restore

��

Firmware updates 

��

��

Network management

��

Chassis and compute node initialization

Note: The IBM Flex System Enterprise Chassis supports up to 84 local CMM user 
accounts, and allows up to 32 simultaneous sessions.
