Data Center Management Interface (DCMI)

User identifications

For ‘session based’ channels (see the section "Channel concept under IPMI" on page 28), a user login is necessary. By contrast, the ‘sessionless’ channels have no user authentication.

Under IPMI, the user configuration is channel specific. Thus, users can have different privileges depending on whether they are accessing the BMC via the LAN channel or the serial channel.

1.6DCMI (Data Center Management Interface)

The iRMC S2/S3 supports the DCMI (Data Center Management Interface) protocol, which is compliant with the IPMI V2.0 standard. DCMI has been designed to improve manageability and energy efficiency of server systems that are deployed in large data centers.

To meet the hardware management requirements of servers within data centers, DCMI supports, among others, the following key features:

Inventory functions (server identification)

Power Management and power monitoring

Power consumption monitoring and control

Event logging

Temperature monitoring
