Requirements for implementation include:
IBM Director version 5.20.2 and above:
– x3850 M2, machine type 7141 without installed ScaleXpander chip
– x3850 M2, LSI 1078 IR onboard SAS controller
– ServeRAID-MR10k SAS/SATA Controller, part number 43W4280
– ServeRAID-MR10M SAS/SATA Controller, part number 43W4339
IBM Director version 5.20.2 Service Update 1
– x3850 M2, machine type 7141 with installed ScaleXpander chip
– x3950 M2, machine type 7141
The managing of objects is implemented by three levels.
Level-0 manageable objects:
The requirement to manage a Level-0 object is the capability to access a
service processor out-of-band (through LAN connection)
Level-1 manageable objects
A system must have installed the IBM Director Core Services
Level-2 manageable objects
The system management driver is required for managing Level-2 systems by
the IBM Director agent.
6.5.1 Integrating x3850 M2 and x3950 M2 into IBM Director
Understand the requirements and detection of manageable objects.
Requirements
Integrating your x3850 M2 or x3950 M2 server as a Level-0 managed system
does not require that the drivers or the IBM Director agent be installed. Level-0
systems are managed by the embedded service processor or optional installed
RSA II adapter out-of-band through the service processor LAN interface
communication.
Use of Level-1 or Level-2 managed systems is based on the Common
Information Model (CIM) standard. After installation of the IBM Director Core
Services (Level 1) and the IBM Director agent (Level 2), a service processor
device driver, and possibly a shared library driver to access the device driver are
required.

Level-1 systems with a LSI1078-based MegaRAID controller require an installed
LSI-MegaRAID-Provider, after the installation of the IBM Director agent.
