IMM and IMM2 Support on IBM System x and BladeCenter Servers

BladeCenter servers
The IBM BladeCenter Management Module (MM) and Advanced Management Module (AMM) are the
central points of management for the IBM BladeCenter chassis. As such, when the AMM is not
responsive, the ability to perform normal management on the chassis is significantly compromised. The
AMM is Version 2 of the MM. The main differences are that the AMM is USB based (instead of PS/2) and
also has a feature to save service data. The service data collects most of the useful information that is
required to support the AMM.

Each BladeCenter chassis, with the exception of the BladeCenter S, supports a redundant pair of
management modules. The two management modules used in a chassis must be identical.

The MM/AMM is used to monitor, manage, configure, report logs, and update firmware from BladeCenter
chassis blades and I/O modules. Although the IMM is now included in some IBM blade servers, the AMM
remains the management module for systems-management functions for BladeCenter and blade servers.
There is no external network access to the IMM on blade servers. The AMM must be used for remote
management of blade servers. The IMM replaces the functionality of the BMC and the Concurrent
Keyboard, Video, and Mouse (cKVM) option card in past blade server products:

The Advanced Management Module for BladeCenter S, BladeCenter E, BladeCenter H, and
BladeCenter HT is part # 25R5778.
The Advanced Management Module for BladeCenter T is part # 32R0835.
The Advanced Management Module for BladeCenter T is part # 32R0835.
The original MMs have been withdrawn but were only supported in BladeCenter E (BC-E, part #
48P7055) and BladeCenter T (BC-T, part # 90P3741).
All BladeCenter chassis models with the original MM installed can be upgraded to an AMM. In fact, most
current servers require that the chassis have AMMs installed.
