10.1.3IPMI Interface

The IPMI interface is an important element of the RSS system architecture. It is used extensively for system management and inter-chassis communications:

•Access

•Configure

•System management

•Fault configuration and management

•Isolation strategies

•Inter-host communications

The IPMI interface exercises the following IPMI API, fault configuration and system management functions:

Get Temperature Sensor Status/Thresholds - Gets the temperature sensor status and readings. Set Temperature Sensor Status/Thresholds - Sets the temperature sensor status and thresholds. Get Voltage Sensor Status/Thresholds - Gets the voltage sensor status and readings.

Set Voltage Sensor Status/Thresholds - Sets the voltage sensor status and thresholds.

10.1.3.1Fault Configuration

The RHDemo performs the following fault configuration activities:

•Upper/Lower non-critical threshold

•Upper/Lower critical threshold

•Upper/Lower non-recoverable threshold

10.1.3.2Isolation Strategy

The RHDemo executes one of the following isolation strategies, depending on the occurring event:

•Alert

•Power Off

•Reset

•Power Cycle

•OEM Action

•Diagnostic Interrupt (NMI)
