Logging in to the IMM2

Use the information in this topic to access the IMM2 through the IMM2 web interface.

Important
The IMM2 is set initially with a user name of USERID and password of PASSW0RD (with a zero, not the letter O). This default user setting has Supervisor access. Change this user name and password during your initial configuration for enhanced security.
Note
In a Flex System, the IMM2 user accounts can be managed by a Flex System Chassis Management Module (CMM) and might be different than the USERID/PASSW0RD combination described above.

To access the IMM2 through the IMM2 web interface, complete the following steps:

  1. Open a web browser. In the address or URL field, type the IP address or host name of the IMM2 to which you want to connect.
  2. Type your user name and password in the IMM2 Login window. If you are using the IMM2 for the first time, you can obtain your user name and password from your system administrator. All login attempts are documented in the event log. Depending on how your system administrator configured the user ID, you might need to enter a new password.

    The Login window is shown in the following illustration.

  3. Click Log In to start the session. The browser opens the System Status page, as shown in the following illustration. This page gives you a quick view of the server status and the server health summary.
    Note

    If you boot to the operating system while in the IMM2 GUI and the message Booting OS or in unsupported OS is displayed under System Status System State, you can do either of the following:

    For Windows 2008

    • Disable the Windows 2008 firewall.

    • Type the following command in the Windows 2008 console. This might also affect blue-screen capture features.

      netsh firewall set icmpsetting type=8 mode=ENABLE

    For Windows 2010

    • Disable the Windows 2010 firewall.

    • Type the following command in the Windows 2010 console. This might also affect blue-screen capture features.

      netsh advfirewall firewall set icmpsetting type=8 mode=ENABLE

    For Windows 2012

    • Disable the Windows 2012 firewall.

    • Type the following command in the Windows 2012 console. This might also affect blue-screen capture features.

      netsh advfirewall firewall set icmpsetting type=8 mode=ENABLE

    By default, the icmp packet is blocked by the Windows firewall. The IMM2 GUI will then change to OS booted status after you change the setting as indicated above in both the Web and CLI interfaces.

For descriptions of the actions that you can perform from the tabs at the top of the IMM2 web interface, see IMM2 action descriptions.
