Introduction
IBM Systems Director 6.1 is a platform management solution that streamlines the way physical
and virtual systems are managed across a multi-system environment. IBM Systems Director
leverages industry standards to support multiple operating systems and virtualization
technologies across IBM and non-IBM platforms, including Power Systems servers. Through
a single Web-based user interface, IBM Systems Director provides consistent views for
visualizing managed systems and determining how these systems relate to one another while
identifying their individual status.
Management of Power Systems servers is simplified through the exceptional value of IBM
Systems Director. The tool manages the underlying hardware, operating systems, and platform
managers, such as Hardware Management Console (HMC) and Integrated Virtualization
Manager (IVM). Key features that enable lifecycle management include discovery, health and
status monitoring, configuration, updates, and virtualization. It also provides a Welcome Page
summary view that is specific to Power Systems servers and functions that are specific to the
Power platform.
You can use the Power Systems features within Systems Director to do the following:

Manage Power environments that include POWER5 and POWER6 processor-based

servers running the AIX, IBM i, or Linux operating systems and the following:
o

Power Systems servers managed by the Hardware Management Console (HMC)

Consolidated management of physical and virtual resources

IBM Systems Director 6.1 provides consolidated management of hardware controlled through
the HMC and IVM consoles and of the AIX, Linux, and IBM i operating systems. This
consolidated management environment allows for simplification of tasks including visualization
and health monitoring of system resources and updates. Using IBM Systems Director, you can
perform a variety of management tasks on servers that are under the control
of HMC or IVM such as:

Managing power on/of

Creating and editing resources of virtual servers (logical partitions)

Relocating virtual servers between host systems

Key features and concepts

When you use Systems Director to manage Power servers, a useful starting point is the Power
Systems Management page.

Figure 1 The Power Systems Management page in IBM Systems Director

You can access this page from the Manage tab of the main IBM Systems Director Welcome page.
In addition to the link to the Power Systems Management page, this section includes links to
group views of all discovered virtual servers running the AIX, Linux, and IBM i operating
systems.
The Power Systems Management page provides a consolidated status diagram of all managed
Power server resources and a summary of the managed resources in the environment. The
managed resources section includes a view of the total number of Power Systems resources with
corresponding links to specific views for HMC and IVM managed systems, physical servers

318001015.doc

Page 6

Managing Power Servers with IBM Systems Director 6.1

(called hosts in Systems Director), logical partitions by type (called virtual servers in Systems
Director), and operating systems. For example, the link for AIX/Linux virtual servers provides a
view of the resources defined for partitions running an operating system and applications; the
link for AIX operating systems provides a view of the installed operating system instances
themselves. The Power Systems Management page also includes links to common tasks for
managing IBM Power servers such as discovering new resources, setting up monitors and
thresholds, checking for and installing updates, and creating new virtual environments. In
addition, you can use the BladeCenter management option on this page to access tasks specific to
POWER processor-based BladeCenter servers.
Discovery
You can discover HMC and IVM managed systems, as well as single image systems, using IBM
Systems Director. You can perform discovery using the host name or IP address of a specific
HMC or IVM managed endpoint by selecting System Discovery under Inventory in the
navigation area. You have to request access to these endpoints, which provides authentication for
Systems Director to gain access to the system. After you have requested access, Systems Director
automatically creates a detailed inventory of the HMC or IVM including the associated managed
physical servers (hosts), logical partitions (virtual servers), physical/virtual disk, physical/virtual
LAN allocations, and operating systems.
Once discovered, managed physical servers and associated logical partitions (if applicable) are
available through IBM Systems Director. In addition to the management tasks you can perform
on these resources using Systems Director, you can access management tasks through the
controlling HMC and IVM through a launch-in-context mechanism. These tasks are contained in
the Extended Management context menu for all managed physical servers and logical partitions.
Selecting a task, such as Create Logical Partition, in the context menu for a server managed by
an HMC will launch the task in a separate browser window, without the requirement to reauthenticate to the associated HMC or IVM.

Figure 2 View of the tasks that are available from the Extended Management menu

Managing Power Servers with IBM Systems Director 6.1

AIX management tasks

Systems Director provides the ability to launch and execute system administrative tasks using the
IBM Systems Director Console for AIX. The console for AIX provides Web-based management
access to common systems administration tasks on the AIX operating system. This new
management interface allows administrators to manage AIX 6.1 remotely through a browser. The
IBM Systems Director Console for AIX provides access to common systems management tools
such as the Systems Management Interface Tool (SMIT). The console is included as part of AIX
6.1no other products are required to use it other than a Web browser.
IBM i management tasks
IBM Systems Director includes IBM i management capabilities for managing IBM i 5.4 or 6.1
endpoint systems using the IBM Systems Director Navigator for i. IBM i users who have not yet
moved to the IBM i 6.1 release can now manage 5.4 systems from the Web by using IBM
Systems Director 6.1. To access IBM i management tasks in IBM Systems Director, select the
IBM i 5.4 or 6.1 system you want to manage. The following IBM i Management functions are
enabled for your use:

The topology view shows a graphical view of discovered resources and their relationships and
includes the ability to drill down on properties and launch tasks through a context menu. You can
switch to a topology view from any of the groups under Navigate Resources, for example HMC
and Managed Systems. To do so, select one of the topology perspective views from the Actions
drop-down menu. In addition to viewing and navigating resources, you can filter, search, export,
and print topology maps.

Hints and tips

When managing Power server environments using IBM Systems Director, it may be useful
to work from the Power Systems Management summary page. You can have this summary
page included in the list of first pages displayed when you start Systems Director by adding
it to My Startup Pages.

318001015.doc

Page 9

Managing Power Servers with IBM Systems Director 6.1

Before you can discover HMC or IVM managed endpoints, you have to perform some
configuration steps so you can access and run commands on them remotely. The access
configuration instructions, including how to set the rate at which the HMC collects resource
utilization data, are available in Configuring Power Systems Platform Managers.

IBM Systems Director identifies the HMC hardware along with the underlying operating
systems software. Both objects may appear simultaneously, such as in the All systems view,
so using the hierarchical views, such as HMC and managed systems, will avoid any
potential confusion and ensure that you are viewing the correct HMC object.

You should discover and manage an HMC from only one management server. Managing an
HMC from multiple management servers can cause performance problems due to the
amount of memory that is required.

The Create Virtual Server Wizard in IBM Systems Director assumes that the Virtual I/O
Server (VIOS) is installed as part of an HMC managed environment.

When creating a partition with physical I/O, use the Create Logical Partition task that is
available through the Extended Management context menu for HMC managed systems.

IBM Systems Director provides a facility to rename managed endpoints to support

customizable naming conventions. To set the naming style for physical servers so that they
match the names provided through the HMC, the auto rename feature can be disabled. To do
so, select Settings in the main left-hand navigation area, then Auto rename. To turn off the
auto renaming of servers, select Servers, then set Run after discovery to No.

IBM Systems Director Server collects logs and update files in /opt which may consume a
large amount of disk space. Ensure that there is enough space available for /opt. When
needed, use the df -m command to check available disk space. For disk storage and related
hardware requirements see Hardware requirements for running IBM Systems Director
Server.

In order to perform power on/off functions for IVM managed systems, an additional
procedure is required to gain full access to the system. For full details, see Configuring
credentials for the FSP CIM Proxy.

When managing POWER processor-based BladeCenter servers with IVM, use the IVM and
Managed Power Systems Servers view from the Power Systems Management page.

318001015.doc

Health monitoring
IBM Systems Director contains a health summary view and status monitors that track
infrastructure changes. The Health Summary view lets you see, at a glance, if any of your
systems have problems and what their compliance status is. It also provides a dashboard to view
monitors for important managed systems.

Figure 4 Health Summary view in IBM Systems Director

For Power servers, IBM Systems Director provides monitoring and management of standalone
system environments and virtualized system environments managed by HMC or IVM.

Key features and concepts

Monitoring virtual servers
The Inventory option in Systems Director provides an easy way to view platform managers
across virtual platforms (including HMC and IVM), their managed physical servers (hosts) and
associated logical partitions (virtual servers) with operating systems. You can also view virtual
servers and hosts without filtering by platform manager. The Platform Managers and Members
view provides details such as status, IP address, and descriptions.

318001015.doc

Page 11

Managing Power Servers with IBM Systems Director 6.1

Figure 5 Platform Managers and Members view in IBM Systems Director

The Virtual Servers and Hosts view also provides details such as status, IP address, and
description.

Figure 6 Virtual Servers and Hosts view in IBM Systems Director

You can also view CPU utilization for the host or virtual server, as well as the number of
processors and amount of memory that is allocated to your virtual servers or hosts. Power server
users should also add the optional Entitled Processing Units column to the Virtual Servers and
Hosts view, as the percentage shown really applies to the entitled processing units (for example,
you can exceed 100% in an uncapped processor configuration.)
Important note: System state in IBM Systems Director does not reflect state displayed in
HMC or IVM
IBM Systems Director does not display the same system state that the Hardware Management
Console (HMC) or Integrated Virtualization Manager (IVM) displays. For example, in Navigate
Resources you may notice that the State column for a virtual server (logical partition) displays
Started. However, the same virtual server in the HMC interface displays Error. This is a known
limitation.

318001015.doc

Page 12

Managing Power Servers with IBM Systems Director 6.1

You can access the most current system state information by using the instructions in the
following table:
Managed system

Instructions for accessing detailed state information

Physical system or virtual server

(logical partition) managed by
HMC

In Navigate Resources, right-click the system and select

Extended Management > Properties.

Virtual or physical server managed

by IVM

In Navigate Resources, right-click the system and select

Extended Management > Properties.
If you are unable to access the Extended Management
menu, you can use the Advanced System Management
Interface to view system state information.
Note: If the system is a Power Systems BladeCenter
server, you can use the Advanced Management Module to
access system state information.

Also note that if the Access state on Navigate Resources shows Unknown or Offline, it is an
indication that communication between the IBM Systems Director Server and the HMC or IVM
has been lost.
Monitoring Power server operating systems
In addition to the common monitors provided with Systems Director, you can create additional
monitor views for the AIX (including VIOS), IBM i, and Linux operating systems.

318001015.doc

Page 13

Managing Power Servers with IBM Systems Director 6.1

Figure 7 Monitor View in IBM Systems Director

When creating these operating systems monitors it is important to select the agent that provides
the desired information: Director Agent (recommended) or CIM agent. For more information,
see Creating a monitor view.
In addition, IBM i users can monitor message queue events through Systems Director. For more
information, see Monitoring for IBM i message queue events.

Hints and tips

You may have Virtual I/O Server logical partitions (virtual servers) that are offline and you may
not want to see warnings on these resources. If this is the case you have the option to ignore
status on these resources in the Problems page.

Figure 8 Problems page in IBM Systems Director

To ignore status for particular resources, select a resource and click Ignored Status Then,
choose the scope of resources to ignore. Problems that are ignored are not displayed
in the Problems list until you choose to reactivate them.

Automation
Systems Director offers automation manager as a base plug-in that performs actions based on
system events. Automation is a key enabler of business value in IT today. It empowers
organizations by driving common tasks and processes with exceptional speed and accuracy, thus
freeing resources for more complex tasks of higher business priority. Further, in a modern
virtualized infrastructure, automation can play a powerful role in ensuring that you get the
highest utilization from your many assets. Automation manager supports automation in the
following ways:

Creating event-automation plans that are used to automate tasks and other responses to
situations from virtual and physical resources, such as relocating a virtual server based on
critical hardware alerts

Creating and managing event filters that allow the event automation plans to target specific
events

Creating and managing event actions that identify tasks or commands to run and
notifications to send

Scheduling of one-time or recurring tasks

Creating and managing command definitions that allow remote commands to be run using
specific user IDs on target systems

Simplified interface to trigger events automatically, such as e-mail notification or task

execution

New commands for managing event automation plans, event actions, event filters and event
logs

318001015.doc

Updates
Update management capabilities help to drive software and firmware compliance and crosssystem consistency. IBM Systems Director does this by providing notification of systems that are
out-of-date based on compliance policies. Simplified tasks are provided to download and install
updates without repackaging or requiring each step in the process to be performed separately. In
IBM Systems Director 6.1, update tasks are available for the HMC, firmware, and the AIX, IBM
i, and Linux operating systems.

Key features and concepts

To leverage IBM Systems Director update management capabilities, you must first collect
inventory on your systems using the View and Collect Inventory option. You can also view
installed updates and software for a particular system using this option. After you have collected
inventory, use the Getting Started with Updates wizard to select the systems for which you want
to get updates these systems will also be monitored for updates on an ongoing basis.

Figure 10 The Getting Started with Updates wizard

The Check for Updates task is also available as an action on any system selected from the
Navigate Resources view. For Power servers it is recommended that you check for updates in the
context of a particular system or systems and that you schedule the check for updates action to
occur on a recurring basis to obtain new updates.
After checking for updates you may be notified that a system is out of date. The Install Wizard is
required to apply needed updates. Install Wizard tasks may be scheduled to apply to one or more
systems. Scheduled updates may include the install of a critical update, a scheduled update of
IBM i or AIX systems to the latest PTF group or fix level, or the upate of an HMC firmware
level.

Hints and tips

To show only the updates needed for a particular system, you can right-click on the system
and select Show needed. Or, you can select Show needed updates from the Update
Manager page.

318001015.doc

Page 17

Managing Power Servers with IBM Systems Director 6.1

Note that firmware updates to IBM i systems are supported in IBM Systems Director 6.1
only if they are HMC managed, if the systems are POWER5 and above, and if the system is
configured for firmware updates through the HMC. If your IBM i system is not configured
to get firmware updates through the HMC, see Changing firmware update policy (HMC or
OS source) for instructions on how to set this up.

It is generally a good practice to run tasks that check for and install updates during non-peak
hours this is particularly true for tasks that contain a large number of updates such as IBM
i PTF groups.

Energy management
IBM Systems Director Active Energy Manager measures, monitors and manages the energy
components built in to IBM systems, enabling a cross-platform management solution. Active
Energy Manager extends the scope of energy management to include facility providers, thus
enabling a more complete view of energy consumption within the data center. Active Energy
Manager allows users to set a power or temperature threshold and be notified or automatically
take an action when it is reached.

Key features and concepts

Following are key aspects of Active Energy Manager for Power server management:

Hard, soft, and group energy caps can be set for POWER6 processor-based servers:
o Hard energy caps enable the firmware to ensure that the power level is not
exceeded.
o Soft energy caps enable you to set the cap lower to save more power.
o Group energy caps let you assign an overall energy cap to a group of systems
(such as a rack). Active Energy Manager manages the energy caps of the
individual systems to meet the group energy cap.

Static and dynamic energy savings modes can be set for POWER6 processor-based
servers:
o Static energy mode saves up to 30% of power.
o For dynamic energy mode, power consumption varies based on server utilization.
o In addition, you can choose to optimize for either more power savings or better
performance.

Other notable features include:

o You can enter the altitude of the datacenter, and Active Energy Manager enables
POWER6 processor-based servers to better optimize their fan speeds to save more
power.
o Older Power Systems servers can be monitored through the use of intelligent
power distribution units (PDUs). Active Energy Manager can monitor the power
at the outlets and associated with a server.
o All Active Energy Manager tasks are available through both the IBM Systems
Director Web-based user interface or through the command line interface.
