Chassis and server considerations
This topic describes information that you must consider
when you configure the hardware you manage with IFM.
Standby management module
Because a management module failure results in a configuration
loss, it is best practice to install a standby management module when
using IFM.
Setting up boot from SAN
To take full advantage of the IFM solution,
set up your server environment to boot from SAN.
Replacing a server in the same bay
When you replace a server in a bay that is IFM enabled, the IFM parameters
are automatically applied to the new server before it is given power
permission. The boot sequence is not part of the IFM configuration
and it is not pushed automatically.
Setting the out-of-band mode
This topic provides information about setting the out-of-band
mode for servers that support both the CMMPush and IFMPull modes.
