4.3 Force-Specific Commands

The Force Computers IPMI firmware supports several commands that are not defined in the IPMI

specification but are introduced by Force Computers. For more info rmation regarding Force-

specific OEM IPMI implementations , see the Intelligent Board Management Unit Reference Guide

(PN217328), available by contacting Force Computers.

4.3.1 BMC/PMChangeRole

This command is used to set the operation mode of the IPMI controller (BMC, PM or BMC stand-

by). In BMC stand-by mode, a mode provided by Force Computers, the IPMI controller is PM but

can manipulate the system event log (SEL) and sensor data reposito ries (SDR) like a BMC.
