as well as offering a rich set of diagnostic tests of the major components of the
server. DSA creates a DSA log, which is a chronologically ordered merge of the
system-event log (as the IPMI event log), the integrated management module
(IMM) event log (as the ASM event log), and the operating-system event logs.
You can send the DSA log as a file to IBM Support or view the information as a
text file or HTML file.
Two editions of Dynamic System Analysis are available: DSA Portable and DSA
Preboot. For more information about both editions, see “DSA editions” on page
186.
v Features on Demand software Ethernet support
The server provides Features on Demand software Ethernet support. You can
purchase a Features on Demand software upgrade activation key for Fiber
Channel over Ethernet and iSCSI storage protocols that is provided through the
integrated Emulex BE3 Ethernet controller. For more information, see “Enabling
Features on Demand Ethernet software” on page 156.
v Features on Demand software RAID support
The server provides Features on Demand software RAID support for RAID
levels 5, 6, 50, and 60 upgrade. Features on Demand software RAID upgrade is
integrated into the integrated management module II (IMM2). For more
information, see “Enabling Features on Demand RAID software” on page 156.
v IBM next generation technology
IBM next generation technology systems combine proven, innovative IBM
designs to make your x86-processor-based server powerful and reliable.
v IBM ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD
The ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD, which you can download from the
web, provides programs to help you set up the server and install a Windows
operating system. The ServerGuide program detects installed optional hardware
devices and provides the correct configuration programs and device drivers. For
more information about the ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD, see “Using the
ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD” on page 140.
v IBM Systems Director
IBM Systems Director is a platform-management foundation that streamlines the
way you manage physical and virtual systems in a heterogeneous environment.
By using industry standards, IBM Systems Director supports multiple operating
systems and virtualization technologies for IBM and non-IBM x86 platforms. For
more information about IBM Systems Director, see “IBM Systems Director” on
page 16.
v Integrated management module II (IMM2)
The integrated management module II (IMM2) combines service processor
functions, video controller, and remote presence and blue-screen capture features
in a single chip. The IMM provides advanced service-processor control,
monitoring, and alerting function. If an environmental condition exceeds a
threshold or if a system component fails, the IMM lights LEDs to help you
diagnose the problem, records the error in the IMM event log, and alerts you to
the problem. Optionally, the IMM also provides a virtual presence capability for
remote server management capabilities. The IMM provides remote server
management through the following industry-standard interfaces:
– Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) version 2.0
– Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) version 3.0
– Common Information Model (CIM)
– Web browser
