Management Interface (IPMI) 2.
0 specification, jointly developed by Dell, HP, IBM and NEC.
The
IPMI industry standard defines a hardware-software subsystem that performs key platform
monitoring and management independently from the main processor.
Management tasks
are executed by a specialized micro-controller, or Baseboard Management Controller (BMC),
that operates on standby power independent of the system’s main power to periodically poll
system health variables such as temperature, fans, voltage,
power supplies and chassis intrusion.
When discovering
any anomaly, the BMC can log the event, send alerts via
LAN and initiate recovery actions such as system reset.
