Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) is a message-based hardware
management interface that enables remote monitoring, management, and recovery
capabilities, regardless of the status of the server. It defines a set of interfaces that
are common to computer hardware and firmware that you can use to monitor system
health and manage the system.
IPMI operates independently of the operating system (OS) and allows you to manage
a system remotely even in the absence of the OS or the system management software,
or even if the monitored system is not powered on. IPMI can also function when the
OS has started.
IPMI version 1.5 and later can send out alerts by means of a direct serial connection,
a LAN, or a serial over LAN (SOL) connection to a remote client. You can then query
controller status, review hardware logs, or issue other requests from a remote console
through the same connections.
