Advanced features in HPM.1 address redundancy mechanisms, supporting both automatic and manual rollbacks, to properly support the high availability require- ments in Telco platforms like AdvancedTCA.The Advantech IPMI Core supports HPM.1 updates over any of its IPMI interfaces. As defined by the HPM.1 specification, the HPM.1 image contains a MD5 checksum over the complete image.
IPMItool call to use the lanplus interface The Advantech IPMI firmware supports HPM.2 long messages which increases the IPMI message payload size and therefore decreases the upload time. IPMItool ver- sion >1.8.15 automatically support HPM.2 long messages on the lanplus interface.
