Hardware Monitoring

The latest hardware from TYAN is equipped with Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) from Renesas H8 which provides not only system monitoring but also remote manageability. The BMC can always monitor the hardware regardless of how the operating system is running. With the BMC onboard, any IPMI-compliant software can monitor, control or diagnose the hardware locally, or from a remote site.

Protocol and Standard

Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) 2.0

Remote Management and Control Protocol (RMCP) for IPMI-Over-LAN

Alert Standard Forum (ASF)

Auxiliary Communication Interface (Other standard devices that the SMDC communicates with)

IPMB = Intelligent Platform Management Bus

LAN = Local Area Network

Enhanced Authentication

Support new algorithms that provide more robust key exchange process for establishing sessions and authenticating users.

Encryption Support

IPMI message and other payload carried over RMCP+ can be encrypted. This enable confidential remote configuration of parameters such user passwords and transfer of sensitive payload data over SOL.

Firmware Firewall

Firmware Firewall is the name for a collection of commands that enable a BMC implementation to restrict the ability to execute certain commands or functions from a given interface. This can be used to protect against operations that errant or malicious software may used to affect the managed system or other systems.
