The

 

baseboard

 

management

 

controller

 

provides

 

basic

 

service-processor

 

environmental

 

monitoring

 

functions

 

for

 

the

 

server.

 

If

 

an

 

environmental

 

condition

 

exceeds

 

a

 

threshold

The

 

baseboard

 

management

 

controller

 

also

 

provides

 

the

The

 

command-line

 

interface

 

provides

 

direct

 

access

 

to

 

server

 

management

 

functions

 

through

 

the

 

IPMI

 

protocol.

 

Use

 

the

 

command-line

 

interface

 

to

 

issue

 

commands

 

to

 

control

 

the

 

server

 

power,

 

view

 

system

 

information,

 

and

 

identify

 

the

 

server.

 

You

 

can

 

also

 

save

 

one

 

or

 

more

 

commands

 

as

 

a

Establish

 

a

 

Serial

 

over

 

LAN

 

(SOL)

 

connection

 

to

 

manage

 

servers

 

from

 

a

 

remote

 

location.

 

You

 

can

 

remotely

 

view

 

and

 

change

 

the

 

BIOS

 

settings,

 

restart

 

the

 

server,

 

identify

 

the

 

server,

 

and

 

perform

 

other

 

management

 

functions.

 

Any

 

standard

 

Telnet

 

client

 

application

 

can

 

access

 

the

 

SOL

 

connection.

 

The

Ethernet

 

ports

 

are

 

set

 

to

 

DHCP

 

by

 

default.

 

In

 

order

 

to

 

find

 

your

 

BMC

 

on

 

an

 

existing

 

network,

 

you

 

will

 

need

 

to

 

identify

 

the

 

server

 

by

 

the

 

default

 

hostname.

 

The

 

default

 

hostname

 

for

 

each

 

server

 

is

 

the

 

last

 

8

 

characters

 

of

 

the

 

BMC

 

MAC

 

address.

 

The

 

BMC

 

MAC

 

address

 

can

 

be

 

found

 

in

 

the

 

setup

 

utility,

 

on

 

a

 

label

 

on

 

the

 

system

 

board,

 

and

 

on

 

a

 

tag

 

hanging

 

from

 

the

 

front

 

of

 

the

 

server.

 

Once

 

you

 

have

 

deployed

 

your

 

server,

 

make

 

sure

 

that

 

you

 

remove

 

the

 

BMC

 

MAC

 

address

 

tag

 

from

 

the

 

front

 

of

 

the

 

server

 

so

 

that

 

it

 

does

 

not

 

impede

 

airflow

 

through

 

the

 

front

 

of

 

the

 

server.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

To

 

enable

 

and

 

configure

 

the

 

server

 

for

 

SOL

 

by

 

using

 

the

 

OSA

 

SMBridge

 

management

 

utility

 

program,

 

you

 

must

 

update

the

 

BIOS
