Ø Cisco Integrated Management Controller (CIMC) is used for
management/monitoring of C-Series Rack servers and B-Series Blade Servers.
Ø CIMC provides options like WebGUI, CLI and IPMI for
management/monitoring tasks.
Ø CIMC runs on a separate chip on the C-Series servers and thus is
able to provide services in case of any major hardware failure or system crash.
Ø CIMC also does user management tasks and supports user access levels
of Admin (Full access), User/Operator (can change host features but not CIMC)
and Read Only (can only see information).
Ø CIMC uses IPMI to monitor thermal and voltage sensors in the
servers.
Ø CIMC is useful for initial configuration of the server and troubleshooting
any problems in server operation; however CIMC cannot be used for tasks like
deploying an OS, deploying software patches, install software applications and
manage external storage on SAN or NAS.
