v Power/reset control (power-on, hard and soft shutdown, hard and soft reset,schedule power control).v Alerts (in-band and out-of-band alerting, PET traps - IPMI style, SNMP, e-mail).v Operating-system failure blue screen capture.v Command-line interface.v Configuration save and restore.v PCI configuration data.v Boot sequence manipulation.The IMM also provides the following remote server management capabilitiesthrough the OSA SMBridge management utility program:v Command-line interface (IPMI Shell)The command-line interface provides direct access to server managementfunctions through the IPMI 2.0 protocol. Use the command-line interface to issuecommands to control the server power, view system information, and identifythe server. You can also save one or more commands as a text file and run thefile as a script.v Serial over LANEstablish a Serial over LAN (SOL) connection to manage servers from a remotelocation. You can remotely view and change the UEFI settings, restart the server,identify the server, and perform other management functions. Any standardTelnet client application can access the SOL connection.Using the remote presence capability and blue-screen captureThe remote presence and blue-screen capture features are integrated functions ofthe integrated management module (IMM).When the optional IBM Virtual Media Key is installed in the server, it activates theremote presence functions. The virtual media key is required to enable theintegrated remote presence and blue-screen capture features. Without the virtualmedia key, you will not be able to access the network remotely to mount orunmount drives or images on the client system. However, you can still access theWeb interface without the key.After the virtual media key is installed in the server, it is authenticated todetermine whether it is valid. If the key is not valid, you receive a message fromthe Web interface (when you attempt to start the remote presence feature)indicating that the hardware key is required to use the remote presence feature.The virtual media key has an LED. When this LED is lit and green, it indicates thatthe key is installed and functioning correctly. When the LED is not lit, it indicatesthat the key might not be installed correctly.The remote presence feature provides the following functions:v Remotely viewing video with graphics resolutions up to 1600 x 1200 at 75 Hz,regardless of the system statev Remotely accessing the server, using the keyboard and mouse from a remoteclientv Mapping the CD or DVD drive, diskette drive, and USB flash drive on a remoteclient, and mapping ISO and diskette image files as virtual drives that areavailable for use by the serverChapter 3.
