If you are using IBM servers, you may have heard of IBM Integrated Management Module (IMM). It is a feature that allows you to remotely monitor and manage your servers from anywhere, anytime. With IMM, you can access your server's hardware information, configuration, health, alerts, logs, and more through a web-based interface or a command-line interface.
Ibm Imm Activation Key 124
However, not all features of IMM are available by default. Some features require an activation key to be installed on your server. An activation key is a file that contains a license code that enables a specific feature on your server. For example, if you want to use the remote control feature of IMM, which allows you to remotely power on/off, reboot, or access the graphical console of your server, you need an activation key for that feature.
One of the activation keys that you may need for accessing IMM console in PureData System for Analytics is IBM IMM activation key 124. This key enables the Integrated Management Module Advanced Upgrade feature, which includes remote control, remote presence, and blue-screen capture capabilities.
How to obtain IBM IMM activation key 124?
There are two ways to obtain IBM IMM activation key 124: using the IBM Features on Demand website or using the IBM License Key Center.
The IBM Features on Demand website (https://fod.lenovo.com/lkms) is a tool that allows you to generate or retrieve activation keys for your IBM servers based on your machine type and serial number. You need to sign up or log in with your credentials and then follow these steps:
Choose the "Retrieve history" option.
Choose "Search history via machine type serial number" as the search type and specify the MT/SN without any spaces in the search value. The machine type should be 4 digits and the serial number should be 7 alphanumeric.
Once values are entered hit continue, and a list of license keys that were installed should appear.
The FOD key we're looking for is "Integrated Management Module Advanced Upgrade" which you can mark and choose to download.
The file would be a .key and would typically contain the MT/SN in the file name.
The IBM License Key Center (https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/licensing) is an online licensing tool that allows you to generate or return license keys for your IBM products based on your order number and site number. You need to sign up or log in with your credentials and then follow these steps:
Click on Login to the License Key Center.
Log on to the License Key Center using email ID and password.
If you do not have a password to log on to IBM License Key Center, click the Don't have a password? link.
Enter your contact information, the IBM Site Number, and IBM Sales Order Number that is associated with your order.
The person who placed the order has both pieces of information in the IBM Proof of Entitlement (PoE) certificate.
The certificate is sent from IBM by email or hardcopy at the time of purchase.
After you are added as a member, you receive a welcome email with a temporary password.
Log on to IBM License Key Center by using your password.
Note: The first time you log on to the IBM License Key Center you are asked to change your temporary password.
The table below compares the two methods of obtaining IBM IMM activation key 124:
