FSM Hardware – A Deeper Look
FSM Hardware
 Customized x86 compute
node
 Locked down firmware, do
NOT attempt to use x240
firmware stack.
 FSM has a special
Everything-to Everything
(ETE) adapter that allows it
to communicate across the
chassis internal network for
chassis element discovery,
configuration and
monitoring.
 The FSM is delivered preconfigured from the factory
for optimal performance of
FSM software stack

Simpler user experience with centralized security
Moving to a centralized security for all
chassis compute nodes
 FSM controls a single user repository for user
accounts across multiple chassis and
Compute Nodes
 Each chassis managed by FSM can be
configured to be in Centralized user mode.
When in centralized user mode, users are
authenticated against an LDAP directory
hosted on and configured by the FSM.

System Provisioning – Initial Node/Chassis Configuration
Configuration Patterns enable simpler and faster
configuration & deployment capability
 Configure local storage, I/O adapters,
boot order, and other IMM and UEFI
settings.
 Supports Configuration of all NICs
– No FC HBA configuration Support
 Integrated IFM Support
– Configure Boot from SAN Settings
on FC HBA via IFM
 Integrate device configuration & update
steps into single interface and workflow
For example; Boot target, IMM,
adapter settings, virtual address
assignment
 Configure CMM network management
interface, users and security, power
and acoustic settings, and basic I/O
module and node IP address
assignments.

Configuration Pattern Sharing and Reuse
 You have 2 groups of
IBM System x servers.
One set of servers are
used in production, and
another set of servers
are used for
qualification and test.
 Start by creating a
server pattern to
configure your test
servers.
 Now you copy the
Server pattern you
made for your test
servers and make
another pattern for your
production servers.

System Provisioning - Bare Metal Deployment
Available Image Profiles
 Deploy ESXi or Redhat Linux to x86 nodes (up to 55 simultaneously)
 ESXi is pre-installed on the FSM
 RHEL 6.2 or 6.3 .iso image can be imported to FSM (up to 2 images max on
FSM)
 When RHEL image is imported 3 image profiles re created: minimal, basic, and
virtualization
31
© 2014 IBM Corporation
Importing a Additional Images for Deployment
 ssh to the FSM
 scp the RedHat .iso image to the user directory (i.e. /home/USERID)
 Type the command smcli lsosimages to list the current loaded images (IBM
Cusomtized ESXi 5.1 is the default pre-loaded image)
 Once the .iso image copy is complete type the command smcli importosimage
imagepath
 Once the import is complete, the lsosimages command should display both
images
Note: the command smcli
deleteosimage can be used
to remove unwanted images

FSM Remote Virtual Presence for Maintenance
 The FSM Remote Control application allows for remote control of multiple nodes
within a chassis
 A single ISO can be mounted to multiple nodes
 Would not recommend mounting a single ISO to more then 4 nodes at any one
time due to network and file locking issues on the client PC
 FSM Remote control application allows for power cycling of compute nodes,
remote media, JPG screen capture and special key combinations

FSM – Base Enhancements
 Flex Systems Manager Monitoring and Reporting
 Introduce a feature called “Fuel Gauge” within the utilization
screen of the FSM that will display a set of gauges for the
following:
 Management capacity utilization
 FSM resource utilization.
 Remote power restart
 Recovers failed power workloads quickly by restarting on
alternate systems – “automated workload recovery from system
failures”
 Scalability Enhancements
 Increase the maximum number of managed chassis from 4 to 8;
Now targeting 16! Still 5000 Managed Endpoint limit.
56
© 2014 IBM Corporation
Why Fuel Gauge?
Moving from chassis only to end-point and
chassis scalability metric
• Note: change from original design which as end point measurement only
Fuel gauge helps customers understand
remaining FSM management capacity
 Provides warnings when…
•
•
•
•
There are too many concurrent users
There are too many managed end points
The management server is over utilized
New: there are too many chassis under management.
 Does not provide hard enforcement of recommendations.
57
© 2014 IBM Corporation
Fuel Gauge Default View
Note: current views do not include chassis limitation.
 Overall utilization: shows how many more end points can be managed
 Management capacity utilization: two gauges that show the capacity of the FSM
•Current managed systems: number of systems being managed
•Average active users: the average number of concurrent users (limit is 12)
 Flex System Manager resource utilization: four gauges that show utilization of FSM
58

What does Remote Server Restart provide?
 Provides the capability to activate a partition on any appropriatelyconfigured running server in the event that the partition’s original server
and any associated service partitions or management entities becomes
unavailable.
•
•
Exports partition configuration state usually held internal to a server, service partition,
or VCP to external persistent storage.
Exported partition configuration state is kept current when dynamic changes occur to
accurately reflect its “last known configuration” in the event of a server crash.
 Provides “Crash” recovery by allowing the reboot of the partition
elsewhere using the partition’s last known/captured configuration
information.
•
OS, file systems, applications, etc. go through recovery after restart.
 Remote Restart will be automated.
•
Only one cluster manager may be in charge of a partition at a time
 Benefit: Enhanced Partition Portability.
•
59
Partitions become less defined by the server they were originally created on and a
standard definition format enables more flexibility in partition definition, cloning,
distribution, etc.

Performance is in Internal Throughput Rate (ITR) ratio based on measurements and projections using standard IBM benchmarks in a controlled environment. The actual
throughput that any user will experience will vary depending upon considerations such as the amount of multiprogramming in the user's job stream, the I/O configuration, the
storage configuration, and the workload processed. Therefore, no assurance can be given that an individual user will achieve throughput improvements equivalent to the
performance ratios stated here.
