Management interfaces
The IBM Flex System Chassis Management Module allows two user interfaces to perform
management functions:
The IBM Flex System Chassis Management Module web-based graphical user interface
(GUI) provides a way to perform CMM functions within a supported web browser. This
user interface is a program that is part of the firmware on IBM Flex System Chassis
Management Module.
The IBM Flex System Chassis Management Module command-line interface (CLI)
provides direct access to IBM Flex System management functions as an alternative to
using the web-based user interface.
The CMM CLI (SSH/Telnet) Web and SNMP management interface is accessible remotely
over a Ethernet network. No crossover cable is required to connect to CMM if a local PC is
used, as CMM performs automatic media dependent interface crossover.
Web-based Graphical User Interface (GUI)
The IBM Flex System Chassis Management Module web interface communicates with the
management program to perform chassis management tasks:
Controlling the chassis, compute nodes, and other components
Defining login IDs and passwords
Discovering other chassis on the network and enabling access to them
Accessing and configuring I/O modules
Monitoring the status of the compute nodes and other components
Selecting recipients for alert notification of specific events
Using a remote console for the compute nodes
Changing the startup sequence in a compute node
Configuring security settings such as data encryption and user account security

interface, visit the following website:

Command-line interface (CLI)
Using the IBM Flex System Chassis Management Module command-line interface (CLI), you
can issue commands to control the power and configuration of the CMM and other
components that are in an IBM Flex System Enterprise Chassis.
The command-line interface also provides access to the text-console command prompt on
each compute node through a Serial Over LAN (SOL) connection.
You can find detailed reference information about using the command-line interface at the
following website:
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/flexsys/information/topic/com.ibm.acc.cmm
.doc/cmm_cli_guide.htm
Access: You can access the CMM CLI through a direct serial or Ethernet connection to the
CMM, through a Telnet connection to the IP address of the CMM, or through a Secure
Shell (SSH) connection to the CMM.
