Appendix D. System Management overview
| A four-digit feature code is used to specify a component that is configurable in the IBM configurators, the eBusiness Configurator (eConfig) and the IBM Web-based Hardware Configurator, used in US and Canada. Options that do not have feature codes cannot be integrated by IBM into a system using these IBM configurators. To purchase options separately, refer to the option part number provided in this document. |
IBM system management solutions allow you to run your
business-critical applications using innovative hardware technology
that prevents most outages and recovers rapidly from the few that
do occur. This technology makes System x simpler to service and easier
to manage.
This section shows the available range of standard and optional
system management processors and describes the features and configuration
process for each. This section further demonstrates how these service
processors can be interconnected to form a communication network
for alerting and monitoring a wide range of system functions and
hardware conditions.

- An advanced system management interconnect network is for interconnectivity
of legacy service processors and/or RSA IIs with one RSA II serving as the gateway
to the customer LAN routing alerts and management functions. Service processors that
can support an ASM network are: Remote Supervisor Adapter II, Remote
Supervisor Adapter, Integrated Systems Management Processor, Advanced
Systems Management PCI Adapter and the Advanced Systems Management Processor.
