Accessing the IMM2 remotely

The integrated management module II (IMM2) provides the following remote systems-management capabilities:

• Command-line interface

  The command-line interface provides direct access to systems-management functions through the IPMI 2.0 protocol. Use the command-line interface to issue commands to control the compute node power, view system information, and identify the compute node. You can also save one or more commands as a text file and run the file as a script.

  For more information about the command-line interface, see the Integrated Management Module II User’s Guide .

  Note

  Remote IPMI and SNMP are disabled by default. To get IPMI access so that CMM can manage IPMI/SNMP, create a local IMM user account (separate from the CMM accounts). When this local account is created, the IPMI and SNMP ports are automatically opened.

• Serial over LAN

  Establish a Serial over LAN (SOL) connection to manage compute nodes from a remote location. You can remotely view and change the UEFI settings, restart the compute node, identify the compute node, and perform other management functions. Any standard Telnet client application can access the SOL connection.

  See your operating-system documentation for information about SOL commands that you can enter by using the command-line interface.

• Web interface

  Use the secure IMM2 web interface to perform systems-management activities within a web browser. For information about accessing the web interface, see Logging on to the IMM2 web interface.
