Chassis Management Module, command line interface (CLI), web interface, IBM System 
Network Element Manager (SNEM), or any third-party SNMP-based management tool.

There are two types of compute nodes in an IBM Flex System:

��

For IBM x86 (intel-based) compute nodes, the management interface is IMMv2, which is a 
powerful management interface providing control at node-level.

��

For POWER compute node, Flexible Service Processor(FSP) provides a serial-over-lan 
(SOL) interface for performing common management tasks on the node.

Table 3-1 gives an overview of system management capabilities of these hardware 
management devices.

The IBM Flex System offers strong storage management capabilities that allow you to gain 
advanced functionality with storage nodes in your system while also taking advantage of your 
existing storage infrastructure through advanced virtualization. 

The advanced Storage Management features in an IBM Flex System include:

��

Automated discovery and inventory - Physical seating of Storage Node triggers 
discovery and inventory, automatically adding it to IBM Flex System Manager

��

Intelligent storage provisioning - Integrated storage allocation

��

Automated firmware update - Update Manager provides firmware level compliance 
monitoring and management

��

Integrated event monitoring - Seamless visibility to events and status

��

Automatic credential exchange - Storage Node’s initial credentials are set via IBM Flex 
System Manager

IBM Flex System V7000 Storage Node, is physically and logically integrated into an IBM Flex 
System. IBM Flex System V7000 Storage Node is designed on the industry-leading storage
