IMM Configuration on Lenovo/IBM System x 3550 M5: In this quick and simple tutorial I will guide you through. Before the IMM was used in IBM servers, the baseboard management controller (BMC) and basic input/output system (BIOS) were the standard systems-management hardware and firmware. System x servers used BMC service processors to manage the interface between systems-management software and platform hardware.
Problem
I’m more used to HP servers with iLO’s and Dell servers with DRAC’s, but today I had to put in an IBM System X (now Lenovo) Server with an IMM on it. Once I’d got its IP address from my DHCP servers list of leases I was faced with a logon screen.

Solution
Took some hunting, but the credentials are as follows;
Username: USERID
Password: PASSW0RD (That’s a zero, not an ‘O’ for Oscar).
Note: They are case sensitive also.
With iLO I would leave the default username and password setup, (because it’s written on the chassis, and if someone needed to get in they could, (if they had local access to the server).However for the IMM I would suggest at least changing the default password.

And if it’s internet facing I’d remove/rename that account completely.Related Articles, References, Credits, or External Links
