An IBM portfolio of components that have been cluster configured, tested, and work with a defined supporting software stack.
•Factory assembled
•Onsite Installation
•One phone number for support.
•Selection of options to customize your configuration including Linux operating system (RHEL or SUSE), xCAT, & GPFS
The degree to which a multi-server system exhibits these characteristics determines if it is a cluster:
- Dedicated private VLAN
- All nodes running same suite of apps
- Single point-of-control for:
- Software/application distribution
- Hardware management
- Inter-node communication

IBM Active Energy Manager
> Measure/Trend Power Consumption (Phase 1)
Determine the power (watts) is being consumed now
Why assume label power?
Power meter (internal) or PDU with watt meter (external)
> Cap or Allocate Power Correctly (Phase 2)
Power consumed is a function of the HW options, OS, Apps and App footprint application and the application data footprint
Allocate power based on past history using power measurements:
−to match the need of each server
−to match the P/T limits of the data center
> Reduce power consumed (Phase 3)
CPUs can reduce power in periods of low utilization
Save power costs
Three Fundamentals of Power Management
> A view of power consumption across the data center (units of hours, weeks, months) using your applications and workloads
> Reducing your power/thermal requirements (saving infrastructure costs – ex. HVAC, UPS, generators)
> Reducing power consumption during periods of low utilization (saving power costs – ex. utility company)
Active Energy Manager will

IMM (Integrated Management Module)
Remote control to manage, monitor, and troubleshoot from any corner of the world.
Key Features Customer Benefits
Single chip on each server Provide diagnostics, virtual presence and remote control to manage, monitor, troubleshoot and repair from any corner of the world
Manage servers remotely, in a secure environment independent of operating system state
Single administrator can configure and deploy server from bare metal to operating system boot
Support of new altimeter on x3550 M3 and x3650 M3 which can reduce power consumed by fans
Unified code base across all IMM systems
One firmware stack for IMM simplifies images
Easier for system administrators to manage large group of diverse systems
Standards based alerting IMM with IBM Systems Director provide secure alerts and status, helping to reduce unplanned outages
Standards based alerting enables upward integration into wide variety of enterprise management environments “out of the box”
The IMM is a single chip on each new generation server which combines the function of the previous BMC and RSA-II card, a video controller, remote presence and remote disk. Remote presence is a priced feature ($299US) for rack and iDataPlex servers and is enabled by simply inserting a hardware key. IMM is common hardware with a single IMM firmware across all new platforms. It requires no special IBM drivers and is configurable both in- and out-of-band. Open standards (CIM and WS-MAN) used for alerts and command enable out-of-the box integration.

UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface)
Single consistent system level code stack with advanced setup and configuration
Key Features Customer Benefits
Simplified error handling No more cryptic event logs and reduction of out date errors in BIOS
Beep codes now covered completely by light path diagnostics
Easier configuration and management
Ability to configure machines completely via command scripts remotely with Advance Settings Utility
In-band and out-of-band firmware update via the Integrated Management Module
Remote configuration which lowers TCO by reducing upgrade downtime and making platforms easier to manage
Abilities beyond legacy BIOS No limits on number of adapter cards – no more 1801 resource errors (important to VMware customers)
Ability to move adapter configuration to main UEFI configuration
Ability to run in 64-bit native mode
Complete support for new and legacy operating systems– Windows 2008 supported in UEFI mode today– Other operating systems fully supported in legacy BIOS mode
UEFI replaces legacy BIOS providing a modern, well defined environment for booting an operating system and running pre-boot applications. It is fully backwards compatible with legacy BIOS and provides additional functionality, a better user interface and easier management. UEFI settings can be managed both in-band and out-of-band. With UEFI “beep codes” are eliminated and covered completely by light path diagnostics.
