IPMI server management
Server management through IPMI is a standard method for controlling and monitoring the server.
The iLO firmware provides server management based on the IPMI version 2.0 specification, which
defines the following:
Monitoring of system information such as fans, temperatures, and power supplies
Recovery capabilities such as system resets and power on/off operations
Logging capabilities for abnormal events such as over-temperature readings or fan failures
Inventory capabilities such as identification of failed hardware components
IPMI communications depend on the BMC and the SMS. The BMC manages the interface between
the SMS and the platform management hardware. The iLO firmware emulates the BMC functionality,
and the SMS functionality can be provided by various industry-standard tools. For more information,
see the IPMI specification on the Intel website at http://www.intel.com/design/servers/ipmi/
tools.htm.
The iLO firmware provides the KCS interface, or open interface, for SMS communications. The
KCS interface provides a set of I/O mapped communications registers. The default system base
address for the I/O-mapped SMS interface is 0xCA2, and it is byte aligned at this system address.
