IBM Flex System V7000 Storage Node Introduction and Implementation Guide

The IBM PureFlex System is designed to improve efficiency in system management. The 
advanced automation of configuration and management, enhanced and user-friendly 
interface, cross-resource integration, easier monitoring and problem management, 
policy-based expert patterns, and all other functions and features are designed towards 
providing a simplified yet dynamic management experience to the user. 

System Management can be performed by using easy-to-use integrated platform 
management tools (e.g. CMM and IMMv2.) as well as other popular system management 
software like IBM Tivoli and IBM Director, and also third-party enterprise management tools 
(e.g. CA, BMC and HP). Due to the flexibility of an IBM Flex System, many management 
features and functions like security, monitoring, provisioning and automation, can be plugged 
easily into an existing IT infrastructure.

Within an IBM Flex System Enterprise Chassis, each node has a management controller that 
communicates via the CMM-enabled 1GbE private management network allowing centralized 
management capability. Different chassis components supported in the IBM Flex System 
Enterprise Chassis implement different management controllers at node-level as well.

The following set of hardware management devices and interfaces are commonly used for 
managing an IBM Flex System:

��

IBM Flex System Manager (FSM)

��

IBM Flex System Chassis Management Module (CMM)

��

Switch modules (IO modules)

��

Compute node management processors 

– Integrated Management Module (IMMv2) for intel-based servers
– Flexible Service Processor (FSP) for POWER-based servers

FSM is a highly integrated management device that offers single-system management across 
physical and virtual resources. It provides complete control of IBM Flex System components 
and features. It offers:

��

Virtualization management

��

Resource allocation and control

��

Network and storage control

More information regarding IBM Flex System Manager can be found at 3.3.1, “Overview of 
FSM” on page 110

CMM is the default integrated platform for managing a single IBM Flex System Enterprise 
Chassis. It occupies one of the two chassis management bays on rear of chassis. A second 
module can be installed for redundancy.

More information regarding IBM Flex System Chassis Management Module can be found at 
3.2.1, “Overview of IBM Flex System Chassis Management Module” on page 88.

I/O modules contain the internal management interfaces and Inter-Integrated Circuit (I2C) for 
management. They can be managed by the IBM Flex System Manager, IBM Flex System
