12.2Configuring the iRMC S2/S3 via SCCI and scripted configuration

This section provides information on the following topics:

How to use an SCCI (ServerView Common Command Interface) compliant interface for configuring the iRMC S2/S3.

Scripted configuration of the iRMC S2/S3

12.2.1 iRMC S2/S3 configuration data

IPlease note that the interface described below is mainly for remote configuration and is not an SCCI implementation. It only uses the SCCI command and configuration definitions and the SCCI file format.

12.2.1.1 Overview

The iRMC S2/S3 stores internal configuration data in two separate sections of its NVRAM (Non-volatile RAM):

FTS-specific ConfigSpace data, which is addressed by the firmware via a fixed internal description table.

Original, manufacturer-specific NVCFG data, which is accessed by offset definitions.

Some configuration data from the original NVCFG data is internally mapped by the firmware to be accessible via ConfigSpace access methods. For instance, DNS servers and DNS configuration of the iRMC S2/S3 can be accessed both via IPMI OEM LAN configuration parameters and via ConfigSpace. Both methods access the same low level data structures in the original NVCFG area.

Non-iRMC S2/S3-specific ServerView software components (e.g. the ServerView Agents or the Server Configuration Manager) in some cases also map standard IPMI related commands and configuration items, such as standard IPMI user configuration or IPv4 network configuration. This implements an abstraction level between the IPMI BMC layer and higher software levels.
