The IPMC provides a dedicated sideband connection to the Base Interface Ethernet controller.
This connectivity is not shared with IPMB-0 or any other I2C/SMBus/IPMB connections that the
IPMC may use on the blade for hardware management. Data from the payload serial
redirection is routed through the sideband connection to the Base I/F. Vice versa the Ethernet
controller filters packets based on either MAC address, RMCP port number, or IP address and
forwards them to the serial redirection over the sideband interface. Alternatively routing of
SOL via PCIe may be considered if feasible by design.
Client software like openIPMI is required to enable SOL and to communicate with the SOL
based serial console.
5.14 Control Logic
The blade provides control logic for specific functions including:
Payload power supervision and sequencing
Payload resets
Multiple HW interfaces between payload and IPMC
Support for sensors as required
Any control circuitry based on programmable logic whether intended for payload supervision
or as part of the payload is remotely upgradeable. Crisis recovery circuitry is provided to
prevent board lock-ups as the result of a failed remote upgrade of the board control logic.
5.15 Front Board Faceplate
The blade's faceplate provides the following interfaces and control elements:
Two USB 2.0 ports
Serial console port to connect to either payload or IPMC serial I/F
Out of Service, In Service, Attention, and Hot Swap LEDs
One 1000Base-T Ethernet port
Recessed reset button
The blade design provides the possibility to cover unused faceplate elements like LEDs or push
button behind a custom overlay foil.
