468 IBM eX5 Implementation GuideIBM Systems Director provides the following functionality for eX5 systems, as well as manyother system types: Discovery and inventory Monitoring and reporting Software updates Configuration management Virtual resource management Remote control, which includes power control AutomationIn 9.2, “Integrated Management Module (IMM)” on page 449, we described the concepts ofin-band and out-of-band management of the IMM. In this section, we demonstrate how todiscover the eX5 systems via IBM Systems Director.9.5.1 Discovering the IMM of a single-node x3690 X5 or x3850 X5 out-of-bandvia IBM Systems DirectorAfter your IMM has been configured for out-of-band management, as described in“Configuring an x3850 X5 or x3690 X5 for out-of-band management” on page 449, you candiscover the system from within IBM Systems Director. After the IMM has been added to theIBM Systems Director console, you can perform management tasks against it.Perform these steps to add the IMM to the IBM Systems Director console:1. Log in to the IBM Systems Director web interface by navigating to the following website,where servername is the Domain Name System (DNS) registered name of your IBMSystems Director:http://servername:8421/ibm/consoleFor example: http://director6.ibm.com:8421/ibm/consoleYou can also connect to the IBM Systems Director web interface using its IP address:http://ipaddress:8421/ibm/consoleFor example: http://182.168.1.10:8421/ibm/consoleTip: Your IBM Systems Director server must be at Version 6.2.1 to support all the eX5systems, including their ability to scale into a complex. This version is also required tosupport the MAX5.Tip: We advise that you configure your IBM Systems Director server correctly to useDNS for name resolution. We also recommend that you register the IMM in DNS tosimplify the management of the IMM out-of-band.
