CMM web interface: CMM web interface introduction

Use the Chassis Management Module 2 web interface to perform chassis management functions within a web browser.

The CMM web interface communicates with the management program to execute chassis management tasks. You can use perform the following tasks and more:

Access I/O modules and configure them.
Initialize storage nodes
Change the startup sequence in a compute node
Configure security settings such as data encryption and user account security
Control the chassis, compute nodes, and other components.
Define login IDs and passwords
Discover other chassis on the network and enable access to them
Monitor the status of the compute nodes and other components
Select recipients for alert notification of specific events
Set the date and time.
Use a remote console for the compute nodes

Note:

Unless otherwise noted, the term "CMM" in this document refers to all CMM types.
The CMM2 is also called the CMM II.

The Lenovo Chassis Management Module 2 supports multiple Flex System chassis types. The CMM automatically detects the chassis type where it is installed. The CMM firmware adjusts the features it supports and options it displays based on its operating environment.

You can also perform management functions through the CMM SNMP management interface and the command-line interface (CLI). See Using the Lenovo Chassis Management Module 2 CLI for more information.

Compatible browsers are listed on the initial login screen of the CMM web interface.

The most recent versions of all Lenovo Flex System documentation are available from Lenovo Flex system information center.
