64 IBM BladeCenter JS23 and JS43 Implementation Guide
Many of the features described in this document are operating system dependent
and might not be available on Linux. For more information, visit:

3.10.3 IBM i
IBM i 6.1 is supported on both IBM BladeCenter JS23 and JS43 Express. It uses
IBM PowerVM Standard Edition, which includes the POWER Hypervisor™, Micro
Partitioning, and Virtual I/O server with Integrated Virtualization Manager (IVM).
PowerVM Standard Edition is available for no additional charge on the
BladeCenter JS23 and JS43 Express.
For more information about IBM i operating systems running on IBM BladeCenter
JS23 and IBM BladeCenter JS43 Express, see:

3.11 Systems management
Several tools are available to manage IBM BladeCenter JS23 and JS43 Express.
The BladeCenter Web interface can effectively manage the blades. In addition,
IBM Director and Cluster Systems Management (CSM) are management tools
that can be used to manage your environment.
3.11.1 BladeCenter Advanced Management Web interface
The BladeCenter Web interface allows system administrators to easily and
effectively manage up to 14 blades from an integrated interface. From trivial tasks
such as powering blades on or off, to more complex tasks such as firmware
management, the Web interface allows powerful control over all blades and I/O
modules that are attached to the BladeCenter chassis.
Important: IBM BladeCenter JS23 and JS43 Express does not support
firmware updates through the Advanced Management Module. Their server
enhanced service processor has a larger firmware image that makes it
impractical to download and install over the RS-485 bus of the management
module.
For more details on how to perform a firmware update, see 12.1, “Firmware
updates” on page 460.
