4.1 Server Management Function Architecture
4.1.1 Feature Support
4.1.1.1 IPMI 2.0 Features
The IPMI 2.0 features are as follows:
1. Baseboard management controller (BMC)
2. IPMI Watchdog timer
3. Messaging support, including command bridging and user/session support
4. Chassis device functionality, including power/reset control and BIOS boot flags support
5. Event receiver device: The BMC receives and processes events from other platform
subsystems.
6. Field Replaceable Unit (FRU) inventory device functionality: The BMC supports access to
system FRU devices using IPMI FRU commands.
7. System Event Log (SEL) device functionality: The BMC supports and provides access to a
SEL.
8. Sensor Data Record (SDR) repository device functionality: The BMC supports storage and
access of system SDRs.
9. Sensor device and sensor scanning/monitoring: The BMC provides IPMI management of
sensors. It polls sensors to monitor and report system health.
10. IPMI interfaces
11. Host interfaces include system management software (SMS) with receive message queue
support, and server management mode (SMM)
12. IPMB interface
13. LAN interface that supports the IPMI-over-LAN protocol Remote Management Control
Protocol (RMCP, RMCP+)
14. Serial-over-LAN (SOL)
15. ACPI state synchronization: The BMC tracks ACPI state changes that are provided by the
BIOS.
16. BMC self test: The BMC performs initialization and run-time self-tests and makes results
available to external entities.
