 Ability to save the SEL to a file.
 Ability to force HTTPS connectivity for greater security. This is provided through a configuration option
in the UI.
 Display of processor and memory information as is available over IPMI over LAN.
 Ability to get and set Node Manager (NM) power policies.
 Display of power consumed by the server.
 Ability to view and configure VLAN settings.
 Warn user the reconfiguration of IP address will cause disconnect.
 Capability to block logins for a period of time after several consecutive failed login attempts. The lock-
out period and the number of failed logins that initiates the lock-out period are configurable by the user.
6.10.14 Virtual Front Panel
 Virtual Front Panel is the module present as “Virtual Front Panel” on the left side in the embedded web
server when "remote Control" tab is clicked.
 Main Purpose of the Virtual Front Panel is to provide the front panel functionality virtually.
 Virutal Front Panel (VFP) will mimic the status LED and Power LED status and Chassis ID alone. It is
automatically in sync with BMC every 40 seconds.
 For any abnormal status LED state, Virtual Front Panel will get the reason behind the abnormal or status
LED changes and displayed in VFP side.
 As Virtual Front Panel uses the chassis control command for power actions. It won’t log the Front button
press event since Logging the front panel press event for Virtual Front Panel press will mislead the
administrator.
 For Reset via Virtual Front Panel, the reset will be done by a “Chassis control” command.
 For Reset via Virtual Front Panel, the restart cause will be because of “Chassis control” command.
 During Power action, Power button/Reset button should not accept the next action until current Power
action is complete and the acknowledgment from BMC is received.
 EWS will provide a valid message during Power action until it completes the current Power action.
 The VFP does not have any effect on whether the front panel is locked by “Set Front Panel Enables”
command.
 The chassis ID LED provides a visual indication of a system being serviced. The state of the chassis ID
LED is affected by the following actions:
 Toggled by turning the chassis ID button on or off.
 There is no precedence or lock-out mechanism for the control sources. When a new request arrives,
previous requests are terminated. For example, if the chassis ID button is pressed, then the chassis ID
LED changes to solid on. If the button is pressed again, then the chassis ID LED turns off.
 Note that the chassis ID will turn on because of the original chassis ID button press and will reflect in the
Virtual Front Panel after VFP sync with BMC. Virtual Front Panel won’t reflect the chassis LED software
blinking via software command as there is no mechanism to get the chassis ID Led status.
 Only Infinite chassis ID ON/OFF via software command will reflect in EWS during automatic /manual
EWS sync up with BMC.
 Virtual Front Panel help should available for virtual panel module.
 At present, NMI button in VFP is disabled in Romley. It can be used in future.
6.10.15 Embedded Platform Debug
The Embedded Platform Debug feature supports capturing low-level diagnostic data (applicable MSRs, PCI
config-space registers, etc.). This feature allows a user to export this data into a file that is retrievable via the
embedded web GUI, as well as through host and remote IPMI methods, for the purpose of sending to an Intel
engineer for an enhanced debugging capability. The files are compressed, encrypted, and password protected.
The file is not meant to be viewable by the end user but rather to provide additional debugging capability to an
Intel support engineer.
A list of data that may be captured using this feature includes but is not limited to:
