Chapter 3. Systems management 99
In Figure 3-19 on page 98, an IBM Flex System V7000 Storage Node canister is seen as
selected (blue rectangle around component). On the right-side of the Chassis rear view, there
is a list of Actions for the particular Canister, which includes options to power on/off, restart
the service processor, launch the detailed IBM Flex System V7000 Management application,
as well as manage the identity LEDs on the component.
The area of GUI under the graphical representation of the chassis shows details regarding
the selected component. This includes very detailed information laid out in convenient tabular
format. The example in Figure 3-20 shows firmware information including its type, build
information, release date, revision, and role.

With the advent of complex integrated IT solutions, sophisticated hardware with varying
power and voltage requirements get consolidated into a typical enterprise rack. To ensure
proper functioning of all the hardware, IT administrators have to ensure that all equipment
stays below the temperature, power, and voltage thresholds at all times. The IBM Flex System
Chassis Management Module web interface provides multiple views to facilitate monitoring
and notification of environmental and temporal indices.
Figure 3-21 shows the Environmental details of various components within selected chassis
hardware (storage node canister in this case). It shows the current values as well as the
thresholds set for these components.
