Manageability
Chassis Monitoring Module (CMM) Chassis Monitoring Module (CMM):
  • Enables direct connection to the Service Processor on each Blade Server
  • Reduces cabling by providing a single management connection to the chassis
  • Ensures complete lights-out manageability of the whole chassis
  • Provides an optional aggregate point for monitoring of chassis fans, power supplies with its own Sun Integrated Lights Out Management (ILOM) module
