- 3. IPMI overview Power UPS I/O expansion RAID Blade Rack Mount Peripheral Same Platform Management Different Platforms Always Available inventory logging monitor recovery alert power control
- 4. IPMI solution IPMI Common hardware interfaces and abstraction Defines common, abstracted message-based interfaces to platform intelligent hardware Defines common abstracted records describing devices and their characteristics
- 7. IPMI hardware - BMC B aseboard M anagement C ontroller Microntroller providing intelligence to IPMI Manages the interface between system management software and the platform management hardware Autonomous monitoring Event logging Recovery control Serves as the gateway between system management software and the IPMB and ICMB Available even if system is powered down and no OS loaded
- 9. IPMI hardware – system interfaces K eyboard C ontroller S tyle - Classic 8742 interface - Available built-in to micros B lock T ransfer - Simple 3 I/O port, byte based interface - Implementable using FPGA or discrete logic S erver M anagement I nterface C hip - Simple 3 I/O port, byte based interface - Implementable using FPGA or discrete logic
- 11. IPMI hardware – NV storage N on V olatile Storage S ystem E vent L og Centralized nv storage for timestamped event messages S ensor D ata R epository Centralized nv storage for sensor data records. SDR contains information about the type and number of sensors in the platform, sensor threshold support, event generation capabilities, and information on what types of readings the sensor provides F ield R eplaceable U nit Distributed nv storage for FRU information. The FRU data includes information such as serial number, part number, model, and asset tag
- 13. IPMI hardware – IPMB/ICMB I ntelligent P latform M anagement B us Standardized bus and protocol for extending management, control monitoring and event delivery within chassis. Base on multi-master I 2 C bus I ntelligent C hassis M anagement B us Bus that extends IPMI to multiple hosts and peripheral chassis. Support up to 64 chassis
- 14. IPMI – platform access LOCAL PLATFORM MANAGEMENT System Interfaces KCS, SMIC, BT REMOTE PLATFORM MANAGEMENT - Serial / Modem Basic Mode, PPP, Terminal Mode - LAN
- 15. IPMI - communication infrastructure Channel Connection to the BMC Up to 9 connections (system interface, IPMB plus seven media dependent) Session - Framework for authentication - Multiple IPMI messages streams on a channel
- 16. IPMI - security Users Identify a collection of privileges and authentication information Password Separated from the OS and BIOS passwords Privilege levels Callback, user, operator, administrator Privilege limits Maximum privilege that a user can have on a given channel Authentication Per message authentication and link authentication
- 17. IPMI - LAN session activation
- 18. IPMI - functionality Power Control - Status, power on/off, cycle, reset, NMI diag Monitoring - Sensor values Inventory - Field replaceable unit Logging - System event logging Recovery - BMC takes actions on event messages that it receives Alert - SNMP Traps format over media LAN and PPP - Perform pagging via serial/modem connection Serial Console Redirection
