Management Processor Monitor: IPMC Commands

iprobe

The iprobe command probes to discover valid primary I2C bus chip addresses.

Definition: iprobe

IPMC COMMANDS

IPMI Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) watchdog is supported and serviced throughout the monitor boot process. The BMC watchdog is disabled if the monitor goes to the monitor prompt.

bootdev

The bootdev command gets or sets the initial boot bank. Get prints out the flash bank set as initial boot device.

Definition: bootdev get

The IPMC sets the hardware strapping for the initial boot device.

bootdev set <bank>

Where <bank> is either b0 or b1 for the corresponding flash bank, or b3 to boot from socket and if a shunt is installed on J9 [1:2].

fru

The fru command opens, closes, saves, sets, shows, dumps, and loads fru data to and from the IPMC.

Definition: fru <command> [ arg1 arg2 … ]

command := [ open close save set show dump load create ] fru open <id>

fru close fru save

fru set <section [chassisboardproduct]><field><value>

fru set <section> <field> <value> section := [ chassis board product ]

fru set chassis <field> <value> field := [ type part serial ]

fru set board <field> <value>

field := [ date maker name serial part file ]

fru set product <field> <value>

field := [ maker name part version serial asset file ]

fru show

fru dump <address>

fru load <address><size>

Set data in the internal use area.

This level of density not only maximizes space but also minimizes power consumption, which is crucial for reducing operational costs in large-scale deployments.

The ATCA-9305 is built with a focus on advanced thermal management and redundancy. It employs a sophisticated cooling architecture that ensures optimal airflow across the chassis, preventing overheating during operation. Additionally, the chassis features hot-swappable fans and power supplies, which means that components can be replaced without interrupting the overall system performance. This capability enhances uptime and reliability, which is essential for mission-critical applications.

Another notable characteristic of the ATCA-9305 is its support for various interconnect technologies. The chassis provides robust backplane options that facilitate high-bandwidth communication between blades. It supports Ethernet, PCI Express, and Serial RapidIO, allowing for seamless integration with existing infrastructure and future technologies. This flexibility enables organizations to adapt to changing market demands and technological advancements.

Security features are also a prominent aspect of the ATCA-9305. The chassis incorporates hardware-based security modules that enhance data integrity and protect sensitive information. This is particularly important for service providers who must adhere to strict regulatory compliance standards.

In terms of management and monitoring, the ATCA-9305 is equipped with advanced management capabilities. It supports AdvancedTCA Management Interface (IPMI) and other monitoring protocols, allowing administrators to easily oversee the health and performance of the entire system. This level of visibility aids in proactive maintenance and troubleshooting, effectively reducing downtime.

In conclusion, the Emerson ATCA-9305 is a powerful and versatile chassis that stands out due to its high-density configuration, advanced thermal management, diverse interconnect technology support, robust security features, and comprehensive management capabilities. Its design is tailored for the evolving needs of telecommunications and data center environments, making it a valuable asset for any organization looking to enhance its infrastructure.
