Platform update management>Simplified consistent cross-platform tools to acquire,

distribute and install firmware and OS updates


Discovery Manager Discovers the both virtual and physical systems in your network, collecting inventory data about hardware and software

Visualizes relationships to other system in the network

Status Manager Monitors hardware status, power status, and update compliance status o discovered systems

Create, view, and customize the resource and processes to monitor and generate notifications

LED status of System x and blade servers

Update Manager Acquires, distributes and installs required firmware, device drivers and operating system updates using predefined policies and workflows. Updates to support hardware changes without an upgrade of migration of the installed product.

This includes compliance status to indicate what managed systems may required critical updates. The IBM Systems Director product itself is now updated via Update manager and allows customers to see which updates or which configurations have been applied to a system

Automation Manager Automatically performs predefined actions in response to events that occur in your environment using even automation plan
