3.1 Management Software
System management may be performed with any of three software packages: IPMIview,
IPMItool or a Web-based Management Utility. These are designed to provide an administrator
with a comprehensive set of functions and monitored data to keep tabs on the system and
perform management activities.
IPMI
The SBA-4119SG blade supports the Intelligent Platform Management Interface
(IPMI). IPMI provides remote access, monitoring and management through the
baseboard management controller (BMC) and other management controllers distributed
among different system modules. There are several BIOS settings that are related
to IPMI. For general documentation and information on IPMI, visit our website at:
http://www.supermicro.com/products/nfo/IPMI.cfm.
BMC ADMIN User Password
For security, each system is assigned a unique default BMC password for the ADMIN
user. This can be found on a sticker on the chassis (see Figure 1-3) and a sticker on the
motherboard. The sticker also displays the BMC MAC address.
