B800G3 BMC Specification 9. THE PEF AND ALERTING DESIGN The PEF and Alerting mechanism are implemented in BMC. In order to make it active, the user must configure the Event Filter Table and Alert Policy Table correctly. For detailed configuration methods, please refer to IPMI v2.0 Spec.
B800G3 BMC Specification 10. SERIAL OVER LAN FUNCTION Serial over LAN provides a mechanism that enables the serial controller of a managed system to be redirected over an IPMI session over IP. This enables remote console applications to provide access to text-based interfaces for BIOS, utilities, operating systems, and applications while simultaneously providing access to IPMI platform management functions.
B800G3 BMC Specification 11. RMCP+ AND PAYLOAD SUPPORT “Payloads” are a capability specified for RMCP+ that enable an IPMI session to carry types of traffic that are in addition to IPMI Messages. In this project we support following payload type, Authentication Algorithm, Integrity Algorithm, and Confidentiality Algorithm.
B800G3 BMC Specification 12.1 KVM OVER IP Remote KVM provides greater control of hardware including access to power controls and monitoring functions through the Baseboard Management Controller (BMC). Remote KVM solutions provide more direct access to out-of-band system performance data and efficient integration with system-level monitoring information.
B800G3 BMC Specification 12.5 SIMULTANEOUS CONSOLE USERS The KVM/IP console must provide up to three simultaneous users log-in. This feature should be configurable as 1, 2 or 3 simultaneous console at a time. All of the three users get the total control of the console including the keyboard/mouse.
B800G3 BMC Specification 13. VIRTUAL STORAGE The firmware supports USB floppy, keyboard, mouse, and CD/DVD. These are supported as a composite device. If the virtual storage client is not available, the storage devices report media unavailable. The USB keyboard and mouse traffic is bridged to the KVM connections. - 21 -...
