You can cable the CMM to
support a management connection that best matches your site configuration.
You must connect a client system to the CMM to
configure and manage operation of a Flex System chassis.
The CMM supports
Ethernet (local or remote) and serial management connections.
You can manage a Flex System chassis by using
the CMM command-line
interface that you access through Telnet or through the serial-management
connector. You can also use the CMM web
interface, which you access through the remote management and console
(Ethernet) connector, to manage Flex System chassis devices.
Use an SOL session through the CMM command-line
interface, to access the operating system text console of a compute node or
the system-management processor of compute nodes that
have a Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI).
To access the CMM management
interfaces, you need the following equipment and information:
- For connection through the CMM web
interface:
- A system with Ethernet connection capability. To facilitate connections
at multiple locations, you can use a notebook computer.
- The CMM IP
address (the default CMM IP
address is 192.168.70.100).
- For networked connection to the CMM,
a standard Ethernet cable and a local Ethernet network port (facility
connection).
- For direct connection of a system to the CMM remote
management and console (Ethernet) connector, a standard Ethernet cable
or an Ethernet crossover cable.
- For connection through the CMM CLI:
- A system with Ethernet or serial connection capability. To facilitate
connections at multiple locations, you can use a notebook computer.
- The CMM MAC
address (listed on the label on the CMM).
- For networked connection to the CMM,
a standard Ethernet cable and a local Ethernet network port (facility
connection).
- For direct connection of a system to the CMM remote
management and console (Ethernet) connector, a standard Ethernet cable
or an Ethernet crossover cable.
- For serial connection of a system to the CMM mini-USB
serial-management connector, a serial cable.
The following topics describe how to cable to the CMM to
configure and manage a Flex System chassis.
