5.20 Event Filtering And Alerting; Platform Event Filtering (Pef); Alert-Over-Lan - Intel X38ML - Server Board Motherboard Technical Manual

Platform Management
5.19.8.1 Serial-over-LAN (SOL 2.0)
The BMC supports IPMI 2.0 SOL.
IPMI 2.0 introduced a standard serial-over-LAN feature. This is implemented as a standard
payload type (01h) over RMCP+.
Following three commands are implemented for a SOL 2.0 configuration:
"Get SOL 2.0 Configuration Parameters" and "Set SOL 2.0 Configuration Parameters":
These commands are used to get and set the values of the SOL configuration
parameters. The parameters are implemented on a per-channel basis.
"Activating SOL": This command is not accepted by the BMC. The BMC does send an
active session when the SOL is activated to notify a remote client of the switch to SOL.
Activating a SOL session requires an existing IPMI-over-LAN session. If encryption is used, it
should be negotiated when the IOL session is established.

5.20 Event Filtering and Alerting

The BMC supports the following IPMI 2.0 alerting features:

Platform event filtering (PEF)

Dial paging
Alert over LAN
5.20.1 Platform Event Filtering (PEF)
The BMC monitors platform health and logs failure events into the SEL. PEF provides a flexible,
general mechanism that enables the BMC to perform actions triggered by a configurable set of
platform events. The BMC supports the following PEF actions:
Power off
Power cycle
Reset
OEM action
Alerts
See the IPMI 2.0 specification for more information on standard PEF actions.
5.20.2

Alert-over-LAN

Standard and advanced PET alerts are supported over a LAN. Alert-over-LAN notifies remote
system management application about PEF-selected events, regardless of the state of the
operating system. LAN alerts can be sent over any of the LAN channels.
The following alert-over-LAN resource size is specific to the server system: LAN Alert
Destination Count = 4.
See the IPMI 2.0 specification.
