- Mapping the CD or DVD drive, diskette drive, and USB flash drive on a remote client, and mapping ISO and diskette image files as virtual drives that are available for use by the server - Uploading a diskette image to the IMM memory and mapping it to the server as a virtual drive The blue-screen capture feature captures the video display contents before the IMM restarts the server when the IMM detects an operating-system hang condition. A system administrator can use the blue-screen capture to assist in determining the cause of the hang condition. v IBM Dynamic System Analysis Preboot diagnostics programs The Dynamic System Analysis (DSA) Preboot diagnostics programs are stored on the integrated USB memory. It collects and analyzes system information to aid in diagnosing server problems. The diagnostic programs collect the following information about the server: - System configuration - Network interfaces and settings - Installed hardware - Light path diagnostics status - Service processor status and configuration - Vital product data, firmware, and UEFI (formerly BIOS) configuration - Hard disk drive health - RAID controller configuration - Event logs for ServeRAID controllers and service processors The diagnostic programs create a merged log that includes events from all collected logs. The information is collected into a file that you can send to IBM service and support. Additionally, you can view the information locally through a generated text report file. You can also copy the log to a removable media and view the log from a Web browser. For additional information about DSA Preboot diagnostics, see the Problem Determination and Service Guide on the IBM Documentation CD v IBM Systems Director IBM Systems Director is a workgroup-hardware-management tool that you can use to centrally manage System x and xSeries servers. For more information, see the IBM Systems Director documentation on the IBM Systems Director CD. v Active Energy Manager The Active Energy Manager solution is an IBM Systems Director extension that measures and reports server power consumption as it occurs. This enables you to monitor power consumption in correlation to specific software application programs and hardware configurations. You can obtain the measurement values through the systems-management interface and view them, using IBM Systems Director. For more information, see the IBM Director documentation on the IBM Systems Director CD, or see http://www.ibm.com/systems/management/director/ extensions/actengmrg.html. Chapter 1.
