Intelligent Platform Management
Controller
This chapter describes the Intelligent Platform Management Controller (IPMC) on
the PP50. The PP50 implements IPMC module on a Linux based system using a
PPC405EZ processor. This processor is referred to as the CNode. Apart from the
IPMC module, the CNode also runs various other modules to control the base and
fabric switches on a PP50. This chapter concentrates on the IPMC module.
The IPMC module is a single threaded, user level daemon process (ipmcd) running
on the CNode. This daemon process is started using one of the startup scripts on
Linux.
Following are the main functions of the IPMC module:
•
Provides an interface to Shelf Manager over IPMB channel for the management
of the blade as per PICMG 3.0 Revision 2.0 AdvancedTCA Base Specification
and IPMI v1.5 specification.
•
Provides an interface to the payload CPUs over the SIPL channel.
•
Provides an interface to the System Manager using RMCP over base interface
ethernet.
•
Provides an interface to switch management applications for E-Keying.
