System Management: IPMI Messaging

IPMI Completion Codes

All IPMI response messages contain a hexadecimal Completion Code field that indicates the status of the operation.

Table 7-2:Completion Codes

Code:

Description:

Generic Completion Codes 00, C0-FF

00

Command completed normally

 

 

C0

Node busy–command could not be processed because command-processing resources

 

are temporarily unavailable

 

 

C1

Invalid command–indicates an unrecognized or unsupported command

 

 

C2

Command invalid for given LUN

 

 

C3

Time-out while processing command, response unavailable

 

 

C4

Out of space–command could not be completed because of a lack of storage space

 

required to execute the given command operation

 

 

C5

Reservation canceled or invalid Reservation ID

 

 

C6

Request data truncated

 

 

C7

Request data length invalid

 

 

C8

Request data field length limit exceeded

 

 

C9

Parameter out of range–one or more parameters in the data field of the Request are out

 

of range. This is different from Invalid data field code (CC) because it indicates that the

 

erroneous field(s) has a contiguous range of possible values.

 

 

CA

Cannot return number of requested data bytes

 

 

CB

Requested sensor, data, or record not present

 

 

CC

Invalid data field in Request

 

 

CD

Command illegal for specified sensor or record type

 

 

CE

Command response could not be provided

 

 

CF

Cannot execute duplicated request–for devices that cannot return the response returned

 

for the original instance of the request. These devices should provide separate commands

 

that allow the completion status of the original request to be determined. An Event

 

Receiver does not use this completion code, but returns the 00 completion code in the

 

response to (valid) duplicated requests.

 

 

D0

Command response could not be provided, SDR Repository in update mode

 

 

D1

Command response could not be provided, device in firmware update mode

 

 

D2

Command response could not be provided, Baseboard Management Controller (BMC)

 

initialization or initialization agent in progress

 

 

D3

Destination unavailable–cannot deliver request to selected destination. (This code can be

 

returned if a request message is targeted to SMS, but receive message queue reception is

 

disabled for the particular channel.)

 

 

D4

Cannot execute command, insufficient privilege level

 

 

D5

Cannot execute command, parameter(s) not supported in present state

 

 

FF

Unspecified error

ATCA-9305 specifications

The Emerson ATCA-9305 is a high-performance AdvancedTCA (ATCA) chassis designed to meet the demanding requirements of telecommunications and IT infrastructure. With a focus on scalability, reliability, and flexibility, this equipment is ideal for service providers and enterprises looking to deploy robust applications in a variety of environments.

One of the main features of the ATCA-9305 is its support for high-density blade configurations. The chassis can accommodate up to 14 ATCA blades, enabling the deployment of powerful processing units, communication modules, and storage solutions. 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.
