IPMI Navigation
IPMI, abbreviation of Intelligent Platform Management Interface, offers system administrators to manage and
monitor computing platforms with standardized interface and protocol. Due to its messaging and hardware-based
nature, IPMI works independently from the operating system, so that system administrators are able to remotely
manage and monitor computing platform status.
Lanner’s IPMI provides rich management features that will enable users to remote monitor their host machines,
while configuring control options. These include:
Remote control viewing options•
DNS configuration options•
SSL upload/generate/view options•
Network setting•
Firmware update•
User information management•
The following will provide a simple walkthrough of Lanner’s IPMI interface.
