4.10 System management
There are several advanced system management capabilities built into Power
Systems compute nodes. A Flexible Support Processor handles most of the
server-level system management. It has features, such as system alerts and
Serial-over-LAN capability, that we describe in this section.
4.10.1 Flexible Support Processor
A Flexible Support Processor (FSP) provides out-of-band system management
capabilities, such as system control, runtime error detection, configuration, and
diagnostic tests. Generally, you do not interact with the Flexible Support
Processor directly, but by using tools, such as IBM Flex System Manager,
Chassis Management Module, and the external IBM Systems Director
Management Console.
The Flexible Support Processor provides a Serial-over-LAN interface, which is
available using the Chassis Management Module and the console command.
The IBM Flex System p460 Compute Node, even though it is a full-wide system,
has only one Flexible Support Processor.
