IPMI
The IPMI specification is a standard that defines a set of common interfaces to a computer system.
System administrators can use IPMI to monitor system health and manage the system. IPMI 2.0
defines a mandatory system interface, and an optional LAN interface. The iLO processor supports
both interfaces.
The IPMI specification defines a standardized interface for platform management. The IPMI
specification defines the following types of platform management:
• Monitors the status of system information, such as fans, temperatures, and power supplies
• Recovery capabilities, such as system resets and power on/off operations
• Logging capabilities for abnormal events, such as over-temperature readings or fan failures
• Inventory capabilities, such as identifying failed hardware components
IPMI commands are sent to iLO using a third-party or open source utility, such as IPMITOOL,
IPMIUTIL, OpenIPMI or FreeIPMI.
You must be familiar with IPMI specifications when issuing raw commands. For additional
information, see the IPMI specification on the Intel website at http://www.intel.com/design/servers/
ipmi/tools.htm.
