4 Intelligent Platform Management

System

The purpose of the intelligent platform management system is to monitor, control, and assure proper operation of AdvancedTCA® Boards and other Shelf components. The intelligent platform management system watches over the basic health of the system, reports anomalies, and takes corrective action when needed. The intelligent platform management system can retrieve inventory information and sensor readings as well as receive event reports and failure notifications from Boards and other Intelligent FRUs. The intelligent platform management system can also perform basic recovery operations such as reset of managed entities.

The IPMC controller on aTCA-9300 supports an “intelligent” hardware management system, based on the Intelligent Platform Management Interface Specification. The intelligent management system provides the ability to manage the power, cooling, and interconnect needs of intelligent devices; to monitor events; and to log events to a central repository.

7 Serial Over LAN

Serial Over LAN (SOL) is a remote management feature that allows the IPMC (Smart Fusion A2F500) to redirect the serial console from the blade via an IPMI session over the network with RMCP+ protocol.

The aTCA-9300 supports SOL on the Base Interface which is powered by the Intel I210 Ethernet Controller. The Intel I210 Ethernet Controller is connected to the IPMC (Smart Fusion A2F500) via the NC-SI interface, which provides remote management capability before the payload power is authorized. Users can use the SOL feature to transmit/receive serial console message from a remote site with full console management functionality.

The aTCA-9300 supports 1 channel (channel 5) and 2 user IDs for SOL. You can refer to the following sections for more detailed information.

Note: SOL does not support simultaneous login of more than one user.

7.1 Preparation For SOL Connection

First of all, you need to prepare a remote client with Linux OS and connect to the network.

7.2 Configure The Remote Client

7.2.1 Install IPMItool For The Remote Client

You can download the latest IPMItool and document from the following website http://IPMItool.sourceforge.net

Click on either the *bz or *gz version of IPMItool to download the bzipped or gzipped IPMItool source code tarball respectively.

To build IPMItool, unzip and untar the downloaded IPMItool package, configure IPMItool for your system, and change to the created IPMItool directory to build IPMItool.

Example using the gzipped tarball:

tar xvzf IPMItool*.tar.gzcd IPMItool*

Run the following to configure IPMItool for your system:

./configure

Build the source code and install IPMItool:

make make install

Now your remote client is ready to connect to the target the aTCA-9300.

Note: The install must be run with root permissions to overlay the existing IPMItool utility in /usr/local/bin.

7.3 Configure The Target aTCA-9300

7.3.1 BIOS Configuration

You can refer to section 6.3.8/6.3.9 to enable Serial Port Console Redirection on COM2

Note: The aTCA-9300 supports SOL on COM2 only

7.3.2 Linux grub Setting

GRUB supports sending its messages to the serial console. The following lines should be added to the top of the /boot/grub/grub.conf file.

default=1 timeout=5 serial --unit=1 --speed=115200 --word=8 --parity=no --stop=1 terminal --timeout=15 serial console

The following parameters need to be passed to each instance of the Linux kernel. They should be added to the kernel line.

console=tty0 console=ttyS1,115200n8

An example is shown below:

title SOL (2.6.18-128.el5)

root (hd0,0)

kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-128.el5 ro root=LABEL=/ console=tty0 console=ttyS1,115200n8 initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.18-128.el5.img

7.3.3 Linux System Setting

Linux needs to be told to listen for logins on the serial port. This is done by adding the following line to /etc/inittab.

Add the following line to the init configuration file /etc/inittab.

s1:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty –L ttyS1 115200 vt100

Now the target aTCA-9300 is ready for SOL connection.

7.4 Establish SOL Connection

Execute the following command from your remote client to establish the SOL Connection Command:

ipmitool -I lanplus -H <Target IPMC IP > -C < Cipher Suite Id > -U <User Name> -P <Password> sol activate

Note: Please refer to the following table for the Cipher Suite Id
