1 Introduction
This document explains how to configure the Integrated Management Module Ⅱ service processor (IMM2)
settings with the IBM Advanced Settings Utility (ASU) in IBM System x Servers. It includes the detailed
descriptions, especially the restrictions and/or dependencies, for each setting. It also lists the setting differences
between IMM1 and IMM2.

1.1 Definitions
Listed below are the terminologies used in this document.

ASU – IBM Advanced Settings Utility, an IBM tool to change the IMM and UEFI
settings.
IMM – Integrated Management Module. The management controller in IBM System
x and BladeCenter servers. Currently there are two different versions of IMM
– IMM1 and IMM2. IMM1 can typically be found in the legacy servers such
as x3650 M2 and x3650 M3; while IMM2 is the newer version which can be
found in the current servers like x3650 M4.
System x Rack – This refers to rack mounted IBM System x Servers, including the high end
Servers System x servers such as x3750 M4, and the high volume System x servers
such as x3650 M4, x3550 M4, etc., and the entry level System x servers such
as x3250 M4.
Blade Servers – IBM BladeCenter Servers. Generally it refers to both the Power blade servers
and the x86 blade servers. In this document, we only refer to the x86 blade
servers such as HS23, HS23V etc.
Flex System – This refers to the x86 Compute Node (or sometimes also called x86 ITE) of a
Flex System or PureFlex System in this document, such as x240, x440, etc.

2 Help Guide
This section describes how to use ASU commands to get helpful information on how to set the IMM settings.

2.1 Help Command

Use the help command to view the setting description.

Example:
Command line:
asu help IMM.PowerRestorePolicy
Output:
IMM.PowerRestorePolicy: Power Restore Policy

Help for Power Restore Policy

-----------------------------
"Power Restore Policy" determines the mode of operation if a power loss occurs. This setting can also be configured
via BIOS F1 setup.
Always Off: System will remain off once power is restored.
Restore: Restores system to the same state it was before power failed.
Always On: System will automatically power on once power is restored.

2.2 Showvalues Command

Use the showvalues command to list all possible values for one or more settings. This is useful for finding the value
parameter that is used for the set command.

Example:
Command line:
asu showvalues IMM.PowerRestorePolicy
Output:
IMM.PowerRestorePolicy=Always Off=<Restore>=Always On

Explain:
All these three values are legal for this setting: ‘Always Off’, ‘Restore’ and ‘Always On’. And the value within the
brackets is the default value. Here the default value is ‘Restore’.

(CSR) file and have it signed by the certificate authority. The signed-certificate can then be imported into the IMM.
(A certificate authority is an entity that issues digital certificates to other entities to allow them to prove their identity
to others.)

IMM.SSL_CLIENT_TRUSTED_CERT1/2/3
Allow both self-signed and certificate authority-signed certificates to be imported. If the certificate already exists,
you must delete it before you import another.

IMM.SSL_Server_Enable
Description: Enable or disable SSL for the web interface.
Default value: Enabled.
Dependency: In order to enable it, a valid SSL certificate must be in place first, which means you must generate or
import the IMM.SSL_HTTPS_SERVER_CERT first.

IMM.CIMXMLOverHTTPS_Enable

Default value: Enabled.
Dependency: In order to enable it, a valid SSL certificate must be in place first, which means you must generate or
import the IMM.SSL_SERVER_DIRECTOR_CERT first.

IMM.SSL_Client_Enable
Description: Enable or disable SSL for the LDAP Client.
Default value: Enabled.
Dependency: In order to enable it, a valid SSL certificate and at least one SSL Client trusted certificate must be in
place first, which means you must generate or import the IMM.SSL_LDAP_CLIENT_CERT and set at least one
of the IMM.SSL_CLIENT_TRUSTED_CERT1/2/3 first.

IMM.SSH_Enable
Description: Enable or disable the SSH server.
Default value: Enabled.
Dependency: In order to enable it, a valid SSH server key must be installed, which means you must generate the
IMM.SSH_SERVER_KEY first.

3.1.2 Example
Generate a self-signed certificate
Command line:
asu generate IMM.SSL_HTTPS_SERVER_CERT asu.xml
Output:
Certificate was generated successfully!

Generate a certificate signing request (CSR)

Output:
Certificate was imported successfully!

Deleting a certificate
Command line:
asu deletecert IMM.SSL_CLIENT_TRUSTED_CERT1
Output:
Certificate was deleted successfully!

Enable SSL for the web interface

Show IMM.SSL_HTTPS_SERVER_CERT first. If it indicates a certificate is installed, you can enable
IMM.SSL_Server_Enable directly. Otherwise, you need to generate a self-signed certificate or import a signed
certificate for IMM.SSL_HTTPS_SERVER_CERT first.
Command line:
asu import IMM.SSL_HTTPS_SERVER_CERT asu_cert.der
asu set IMM.SSL_Server_Enable enable

IMM.BasicAdapterConfigPriv
Default value: No.
IMM.AdapterConfigNetworkSecurityPriv
IMM.AdvancedAdapterConfigPriv

IMM.LoginId is the key record of this group, so it is used to create a new account and delete the old account.

Example:

Create a new account

Command line:
asu set IMM.LoginId.2 "test" → create account
asu set IMM.Password.2 "PASSW0RD" → modify password
(The order can not be reversed)
Output:
Command completed successfully.

Delete account
Command line:
asu delete IMM.LoginId.2 → delete Account No.2
Output:
Command completed successfully.

3.6.3 Relationship between 'User Account' and 'Global Login Settings'

Under different account security level (Legacy/High/Custom), the rules for username and password (IMM.LoginId
and IMM.Password) are different. If you want to create a new account or modify an exist account, you need to
follow different rules.

Example: Under the High Security Level

Step 1: You can use ASU show the IMM Global Login Settings:

© Copyright IBM Corp. 2013 12

Command line:
asu show imm
Output:
...
IMM.User_Authentication_Method=Local first, then LDAP
IMM.LockoutPeriod=60
IMM.WebTimeout=User Picks timeout
IMM.AccountSecurity=High security settings
IMM.LoginPassword=Enabled
IMM.PasswordReuse=5 Passwords
IMM.PasswordAge=90
IMM.MinPasswordLen=8
IMM.PwChangeInterval=24
IMM.PwMaxFailure=5
IMM.PwDiffChar=2
IMM.DefPasswordExp=Enabled
IMM.FirstAccessPwChange=Enabled
IMM.RemoteAlertRecipient_Status.1=Disabled
...
Step 2: Based on these settings, the rules for a user account are: a password is required; complex passwords are
required; the password expiration period is 90 days; passwords must be more than 8 characters in length; the 5
previous passwords cannot be reused; 24 hours must expire before the password can be change again; the account
will be locked out on 5 consecutive login failures; a new password must have at least 2 different characters than the
previous password; the factory default "USERID" account password must be changed on next login; a new user
must change the password on the first access. Additionally, complex passwords are required and must adhere to
the following rules:
Password must contain characters in at least 3 of the following 4 categories,
at least one lower case Alpha character
at least one upper case Alpha character
at least one Numeric character
at least one Special character

Example of a compliant password:

Command line:
asu set IMM.LoginId.5 immtest
asu set IMM.Password.5 IMMtest12
Output:
Command completed successfully.

Example of a non-compliant password:

Command line:
asu set IMM.Password.5 immtest12

© Copyright IBM Corp. 2013 13

Output:
Failed to set the following settings:
IMM.Password.5 (Error code : 80)
Command completed with error.

Cause of the failed password change attempt:

Passwords must contain characters in at least 3 of the 4 categories: one lower case Alpha character, one upper case
Alpha character, one Numeric character, one Special character. In this example the password only uses characters in
two of the categories.

3.6.4 Group Profiles

Restriction: The LDAP accounts are configured by the Chassis Management Module on Flex System. These
settings are supported on Rack servers but are not supported on Flex System.
