Introduction

Use the Chassis Management Module web interface to perform chassis management functions within a web browser.

Note
The Flex SystemChassis Management Module is compatible with only Type 7893, 8721, and 8724 chassis.

The CMM web interface communicates with the management program to execute chassis management tasks. You can use perform the following tasks and more:

  • Access I/O modules and configure them.
  • Initialize storage nodes
  • Change the startup sequence in a compute node
  • Configure security settings such as data encryption and user account security
  • Control the chassis, compute nodes, and other components.
  • Define login IDs and passwords
  • Discover other chassis on the network and enable access to them
  • Monitor the status of the compute nodes and other components
  • Select recipients for alert notification of specific events
  • Set the date and time.
  • Use a remote console for the compute nodes

You can also perform management functions through the CMM SNMP management interface and the command-line interface (CLI). See Using the Flex System Chassis Management Module CLI for more information.

Compatible browsers are listed on the initial login screen of the CMM web interface.

The most recent versions of all Flex System documentation are available from Lenovo Flex system information center.
