Managed resources

Use the information in this section to understand the types of compute nodes and the Chassis Management Module (CMM) in Flex System Enterprise Chassis that IBM® Flex System Manager management software can manage.

The management software provides centralized configuration and management functions for the node, network, power, and cooling devices in multiple Flex System Enterprise Chassis. All communication to and from the management software to the chassis devices is through the secure management network of the Chassis Management Module (CMM).
