DellPowerEdge M1000e Technical Guide 60Figure 50. System Management Architecture DiagramManagement connections transfer health and control traffic throughout the chassis. The systemmanagement fabric is architected for 100BaseT Ethernet over differential pairs routed to eachmodule. There are two 100BaseT interfaces between CMCs, one switched and one unswitched. Allsystem management Ethernet is routed for 100 Mbps signaling. Every module has a managementnetwork link to each CMC, with redundancy provided at the module level. Failure of any individuallink will cause failover to the redundant CMC.14.2 Server ManagementThe server module base management solution includes additional features for efficient deploymentand management of servers in a modular server form factor. The base circuit, which integrates thebaseboard management controller (BMC) function with hardware support for Virtual KVM (vKVM) andVirtual Media (vMedia), is the integrated Dell Remote Access Controller (iDRAC). iDRAC has twoEthernet connections, one for each CMC, providing system management interface redundancy.Highlights of the iDRAC solution include the following:• Dedicated management interface for high‐performance management functions• vMedia• vKVM• IPMI 2.0 Out-of-Band management• Serial-over-LAN redirection• Systems Management Architecture for Server Hardware (SMASH) Command Line Protocol (CLP)• Blade status and inventory• Active power management
