Appendix D. System management overview
IBM system management solutions allow you to run your business-critical applications using innovative
hardware technology that prevents most outages and recovers rapidly from the few that do occur. This
technology makes xSeries simpler to service and easier to manage.
This section shows the available range of standard and optional system management processors and
describes the features and configuration process for each. This section further demonstrates how these
service processors can be interconnected to form a communication network for alerting and monitoring a
wide range of system functions and hardware conditions.
Notes:
1. An advanced system management interconnect network is for interconnectivity of legacy service
processors and/or RSA IIs with one RSA II serving as the gateway to the customer LAN routing alerts
and management functions. Service processors that can support an ASM network are: Remote
Supervisor Adapter II, Remote Supervisor Adapter, Integrated Systems Management Processor,
Advanced Systems Management PCI Adapter and the Advanced Systems Management Processor.
