CMM requirements for Power Systems compute nodes

For the IBM® Flex System Manager management software to manage Power Systems™ compute nodes, certain Chassis Management Module (CMM) conditions must be met.

When you discover and request access to a Power Systems compute node, you are prompted to enter a user ID and password; the Power Systems compute node account that you create is stored in the Chassis Management Module (CMM) user registry. The IBM Flex System Manager requires this user ID and password to access the Flexible Service Processor (FSP) and other managed endpoints on the Power Systems compute nodes in the managed chassis.

If you change the password for one or more Power Systems compute node accounts on the CMM in a chassis that is not managed, you must request access again for all of the Power Systems compute nodes in the chassis. In managed mode, this access request is done automatically when the passwords for the Power Systems compute node accounts on the CMM are changed.
