IPMI View (IPMI Over LAN)

1. Overview

IPMI View is management software based on IPMI specification version 1.5 - 2.0. IPMI View sends IPMI messages to and from the BMC (Base Management Card) on a remotely managed system. IPMI messages are encapsulated in RMCP (Remote Management Control Protocol) packets called “datagrams”. This method is also referred to as “IPMI over LAN”.

The Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF) has defined RMCP for supporting pre-OS and OS-absent management. RMCP is a simple request-response protocol that can be delivered using UDP (User Datagram Protocol) datagrams. IPMI-over-LAN uses version 1 of the RMCP protocol and packet format. An RMCP packet is transmitted via IP (Internet Protocol) networking. Thus, system managers may manage their IPMI-enabled system over the Internet. (Of course, in a private LAN this is a basic feature.) IPMI uses the same UDP port number (623 in decimal) with ASF (Alert Standard Forum) protocol. If the managed system is protected by a firewall, UDP port 623 must be opened.

In Supermicro's IPMI solution, a BMC shares the LAN1 NIC on the mainboard. (If there are more than one LAN Ports on the mainboard, LAN1 is the one near Keyboard/Mouse Port.) The NIC will re-route the IPMI packet to the BMC instead of forwarding it to the upper layer network protocol stacks (as other protocol packets do).

IPMI View V2.0 covers Supermicro's BMCs for both IPMI v1.5 and IPMI v2.0. However, according to design changes, some functions added to IPMI v2.0 are not available in IPMI v1.5, and some functions are no longer available in IPMI v2.0 implementation. IPMI View will automatically hide any function that is not available to the BMC version being used.

Figure 4-1

Clicking the IPM Device tab of the IPMI View management session in the Viewing Window (shown in Figure 4-1) will display some information and functions of the system's BMC firmware.

• Device Information

This shows the revision levels of the BMC and IPMI firmware.

• ACPI System Power State

This shows the managed system's power state. If the managed system is in a power-off state, the green light will be off. This status will update automatically every five seconds.

• Graceful Power Control (Administrator and Operator only)

Graceful power control will inform the OS running on the managed system to shutdown/reboot/power-cycle within a specified time (the default is 30 seconds). When the OS running on the managed system receives a graceful power control request, it will generate a pop-up window on the managed system's monitor and start a count down. This pop-up notice window gives the user who is working on the system a chance to save any working files. However, remote login users or service users (for example Web site visitors) will not see this notice.

Graceful Shutdown: same as the shutdown function in Windows. The managed system will enter an S5 state.

Graceful Reboot: same as the reboot function in Windows.

Graceful Power Cycle: this function is a combination of the Graceful Shutdown and Power Up functions.

The Power Cycle function will shut down the managed system for a few seconds and then power up the system. Graceful power control will send an event to the System Event Log (next section). If no more memory space is left for the incoming event, graceful power control will not function.

- Chassis Power Control (Administrator and Operator only)

This function is used to forcibly control the power state of the managed system's chassis. When the BMC receives a chassis power control command, it will have direct control over the power button or reset button of a system.

Reset: this is the same as pressing the Reset button on a managed system's chassis to reset the managed system.

Power Down: this is the same as pressing the Power button on a managed system's chassis to remove power from the managed system.

Power Up: this is the same as pressing the Power button on a managed system's chassis to turn on the power of the managed system.

Power Cycle: this function is a combination of the Power Down and Power Up functions.

The Power Cycle function will shutdown the managed system for a few seconds and then power up the system.

• BMC Cold Reset (Administrator only)

Clicking the Cold Reset button allows you to reset the BMC. After confirming to reset the BMC, the session will break immediately. The user has to close this session manually. This function is rarely used, only in events such as when a malfunction is suspected.

Figure 5-1

Clicking on the Event Log tab of the IPMI View management session in the Viewing Window (shown in Figure 5-1) gives you detailed information on the System Event Log for the BMC. It shows the System Event Log version, number of log entries, free space for the System Event Log and the times of recently added and recently erased System Event Logs.

• Get System Event Log

In the Get Entries group on the upper left side of the Event Log tab in the Viewing Window, you can decide how many logs you want to get from the BMC. Click the From button and type in the first and last numbers of the logs you wish to view, or click the All button to get all the logs from the BMC. The logs retrieved from the BMC will listed as a table in the central part of the Viewing Window. Please refer to the IPMI specifications version 2.0 for detailed descriptions of each field. Some helpful fields:

Timestamp: the time the event happened.

Sensor Type: this could be health sensors or a system event.

Event Type: the event description.

Because the BMC communicates with the NIC on the mainboard via a slow channel, it is recommended that you request only the events you need to see. Choosing "all" to get hundreds of event entries will result in a very long delay.

- Clear System Event Log

Clicking the Clear All Entries button clears the logged system events on the BMC. The total event log space is 16 KB. When all this space is used, any incoming event will be lost. The user has to clear the system event log manually as needed.

• Time stamp of System Event Log and Time Zone

To set the time stamp of the BMC on the managed system, type in the time in the Current SEL Device Timestamp field. Then click the Set Timestamp button to update the BMC.

Timestamp and Time Zone reflect the managed system's local time. (The Time Zone setting is only available for IPMI 1.5)

Figure 7-1

Clicking on the BMC Setting tab of the IPMI View management session in the Viewing Window (as shown in Figure 7-1) gives you detailed information on the BMC LAN Configuration, SNMP trap configuration and serial communication port of the BMC.

In order to support the power-down state management capability under the IPMI specification, the manager has to configure the proper MAC address for each IP address. To deliver an IP packet to a receiver, the sender needs to know the receiver's MAC address or the gateway's MAC address. ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) is used to get the MAC address from the IP address. While the managed system's OS is running, the network protocol stack will take care of this function. However, when the managed system is in a power down state, this function cannot be accomplished. Therefore, each MAC address has to be configured manually.

The BMC and the OS running on a managed system may use different IP addresses for security reasons. For example, the OS may use 66.201.4.73 (which can be reached by public access) while the address for BMC may be set to 192.168.1.55, which can only be reached in a private LAN. But, LAN MAC addresses must be the exact same. If the BMC uses a private IP address, you have to make sure that the manager's system can communicate with the private IP address for the BMC on a managed system.

• BMC LAN Configuration

This shows the IP address, LAN MAC, Gateway IP, Gateway MAC and Subnet Mask of the BMC and allows you to modify them. NOTE: please make sure that the MAC address of the LAN and the gateway for the BMC are correct before updating it by clicking the Update button. Be careful to enter the correct

values, especially for the LAN MAC. If you enter the wrong LAN MAC, IPMI View will not be able to connect to that system any more.

If you accidentally enter a wrong LAN MAC value, you may use the IPnMAC.exe command in the IPMI Solution/Utility subfolder on this CD to update it. To activate IPnMAC.exe,,which is a DOS command, you must first boot your managed system to DOS, and then execute IPnMAC.exe on the managed system.

• SNMP

This shows the SNMP trap configuration of the system needing to receive the SNMP traps generated by the BMC and allows you to modify them. To change the configuration on the BMC, type in the SNMP community name in the Community text field and the IP address and MAC address in the SNMP Trap Receivers table in the SNMP group, and then click the Update button.

The SNMP Trap may have multiple destinations. When any critical error occurs, an SNMP trap packet will be sent to all receivers in the list. To remove an SNMP receiver, you may change both IP and MAC addresses to 0.0.0.0 and 00:00:00:00:00:00 respectively, and then click Update.

On the system receiving the SNMP traps, an SNMP trap receiver software needs to be installed and run. The managed system will send out an SNMP trap packet to receivers at the moment the event occurs. If an SNMP trap receiver is not running, the trap packet is discarded and won't be queued anywhere.

• RS232 / MODEM (Only available for IPMI 1.5)

This shows the configuration of the RS232 interface on the BMC. It is used to initialize the RS232 port and the installed modem, if any. The RS232 port is the box-header (Figure 7-2) on the BMC and is a dedicated serial port.

Baud Rate: the baud rate for serial connections (does not affect paging settings).

Clicking on the Users tab of the IPMI View management session in the Viewing Window (as shown in Figure 8-1 and 8-2) gives you detailed information on the Users management, and the paging severity thresholds for IPMI 1.5.

We strongly suggest you change passwords immediately to prevent malicious users getting control before you.

- USERS

There are several buttons that allow you to add/delete a user, set user privileges, change passwords and enable/disable paging.

There are six privilege level groups, Callback, User, Operator, Administrator, OEM, and No Access. Only the first four privilege levels are implemented. Privilege Levels determine which IPMI commands a given user can execute over a given channel. Privilege Limits set the maximum privilege level that a user can operate at. A user is configured with a given maximum privilege limit for each channel. Thus, a user can operate at a privilege level that is no higher than his group privilege limit.

Group Privilege Levels

Callback This may be considered the lowest privilege level. Only commands necessary to support initiating a Callback are allowed. (Only available for IPMI 1.5.)

User Only ‘benign’ commands are allowed. These are primarily commands that read data structures and retrieve status. Commands that can be used to alter BMC configuration, write data to the BMC or other management controllers or perform system actions such as resets, power on/off, and watchdog activation are not allowed.

Operator All BMC commands are allowed, except for configuration commands that can change the behavior of the out-of-band interfaces. For example, Operator privilege does not allow the capability to disable individual channels or change user access privileges.

Administrator All BMC commands are allowed, including configuration commands. An Administrator can even execute configuration commands that would disable the channel that the Administrator is communicating over.

Clicking on Paging Setting allows you to set the parameters for an individual user (Figure 8-3). There are two types of paging services: Numeric paging and alphanumeric paging. To use a paging service, a modem must be connected to the RS232 connector on the BMC (Figure 7-2).

Paging Setting User Name ADMIN Pager Mode Numeric Paging Service Number 0912505132 Pager ID Paging Password Numeric Message S00E## Protocol 8N1 Baud Rate 1200 Modem Init String ATL1M1X3S8=2E Dial String ATDT Update Cancel Test Paging

• FRU (Only for IPMI 2.0)

Here useful information may be found about the board and product, for example the serial number, part number and part name of the board and product.

• PAGING / SEVERITY (Only for IPMI 1.5)

The paging severity settings define when users will be notified of entries in the system event log (SEL).
The following settings are available for each group:

None	When this is selected, user notification for this group is inactive.
Warning	When this is selected, the RMC will notify users when SEL entries for the group exceed the warning thresholds.
Critical	When this is selected, the RMC will notify users when SEL entries for the group exceed the critical thresholds.
All	When this is selected, the RMC will notify users of all SEL entries of events for the group.

All warning and critical thresholds are predefined by Supermicro and based on hardware design.

9. Text Console Redirection (SOL, Serial Over LAN)

Microsoft(R) Windows 98 (C)Copyright Microsoft Corp 1981-1999. C:\>

Figure 9-1

On the Text Console tab of the IPMI View management session in the Viewing Window (as shown in Figure 9-1), there is a function that allows you to remotely control the managed system from a text mode console. Click the Start button to start the text console redirection. During control, click the ReSynch button to synchronize the text console with the managed system if you think the screen is not shown properly. Click the Stop button to stop the text console.

- BMC for IPMI 1.5

Console Redirection is not a function in the IPMI specification V1.5. Supermicro provides this useful function for a manager to control the managed system remotely. When a managed system is booting up and in the POST routine and no other software application can give you control to redirect the console, IPMI View offers this valuable function. Console Redirection will dump a managed system's screen to IPMI View and send the key codes you entered in the managed system.

When a managed system switches its video mode from Text Mode to Graphics Mode, a terminate notice will be sent to IPMI View to terminate the console redirection. Text Console Redirection only works for text mode.

Important: Console Redirection puts a very heavy load on a managed system. It will dump the whole screen to the manager's system and slow down the managed system significantly. We suggest you use this function only when you need to get special control and cannot achieve it any other way. For other applications, a proper console redirection software application (pcAnywhere, Symantec Corporation) or a remote login protocol (telnet) is suggested. When you finish your remote operation, click Stop to terminate console redirection to take the load off the managed system.

- BMC for IPMI 2.0

IPMI specification V2.0 defines Serial Over LAN (SOL) to support Text Console Redirection. This implementation performs better than the one we implemented for IPMI 1.5. The Text mode console remains working on Windows 2003, even when the OS is running. To support Text Console

Redirection on Windows 2003, Special Administration Console (SAC) must be enabled. The following instruction is used to enable SAC:

1. Enable Console Redirection in BIOS, and set it to COM 2 (or COM B)
2. Modify boot.ini in C:. Boot.ini is a hidden file. Below is an example of boot.ini

[boot loader]
redirect=com2
redirectbaudrate=19200
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Windows Server 2003, Standard" /fastdetect /redirect 

For Text Console Redirection on a Linux Platform

1. Host A with IPMI BMC installed (Linux Platform): a) BIOS POST:

(i) Enable "Console Redirection" in BIOS Setup.
For example, COM2 / 19.2Kbps / 8N1
(ii) Disable "Enable Console Redirection after POST" in BIOS setup.

b) BOOT LOADER:

(i) For GRUB, add the following TWO lines into /boot/grub/grub.conf, but comment out "splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz"
serial --unit=1 --speed=19200 --word=8 --parity=no --stop=1
terminal --timeout=10 serial console

splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz

(ii) Then add "serial console=ttyS1,19200n8" to the end of kernel /vmlinuz in /boot/grub/grub.conf. For example: kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.5-1.358smp ro root=LABEL=/rhgb quiet serial console=ttyS1,19200n8

This will result in all boot messages being output to console ttyS1, and you will not see all these boot messages on the local console until the login message prompts.

c) LINUX OS:

(i) Add the following line into /etc/inittab.
s0:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty ttyS1 19200
(ii) Edit /etc/securety and add ttyS1

1. Host B with IPMIView installed:

a) Install and run IPMIView.
b) Log in Host A with IPMI BMC installed as Admin.
c) Start Console Redirection in IPMIView right after the Host A reboots.

You will see the BIOS POST, the boot loader, and the Linux OS messages and prompts.

10. Video Console Redirection (KVM over IP)

Video Console Redirection is a new feature included in Supermicro Intelligent Management (SIM) Module. In the Video Console Redirection tab, the remote screen will be redirected to IPMIView if this function is enabled. BIOS POST, BIOS settings, DOS, Windows or Linux OS screens can all be redirected to IPMIView.

Figure 10-1 shows sample screenshots of Video Console redirection. The screen of a remote managed system will be redirected to IPMIView. It will appear to you just as if you are sitting in front of the remote system.

- Fan

Figure 12-4 shows the view after selecting multiple servers and clicking on the Fan tab. You can use Ctrl+Click, Shift+Click or mouse drag for selecting servers. Clicking the “Query” button will then have IPMIView collect the fan readings from the selected servers. The information listed in the table shows the fan status of the selected servers. If the fan reading is in red it means the fan may be broken or not installed. If a fan reading is below the lower limit, it will also be in red. Administrators should be concerned about red marked fans to make sure the system is healthy.

You may refresh the fan status by checking the Reflash checkbox. IPMIView will refresh the fan status according to the selected time. Please note that IPMIView won't refresh if you switch to another tab.

13. Trap Receiver

The Trap Receiver is a utility used for receiving traps from the BMC. In the event of a sensor error or a sensor reading that exceeds a threshold, the BMC will send SNMP traps to the destinations set in the BMC. The Trap Receiver is executed on the destination site and receives the SNMP trap from multiple senders (BMCs). If you select a category you can see all the traps in that category. Furthermore, when you click a trap in the trap list, you can see its details in the Trap Structure window. Please refer to the BMC Setting page in IPMIView to set the SNMP destination.

As shown in Figure 12-1, there are several components to the IPMI Trap Receiver.

1) Menu Bar: contains pull-down menus for exiting the program, getting help, etc.
2) Tool Bar: contains all IPMI Trap Receiver functions.
3) Category: categorizes the traps by sender, community and sensor.
4) Trap Structure: a tree structure for displaying trap details.

Category

There are three categories (each with a tab used to select it): Sender, Community and Sensor, as shown in Figure 12-4. The Sender page lists all the sender IP addresses. The Community page lists all the SNMP communities. The Sensor page lists all the sensor types from the traps. Clicking on each category type will act as a filter for all traps in the traps list. Click on the “All” button to cancel all filters.

Category All All ● 192.168.10.245 ● 192.168.10.247 Category All All ● public Category All ● FAN 4 ● FAN 3 ● FAN 2 ● CPU 1 ● FAN 1 ● FAN 5 ● FAN 6 ● FAN 7 ● FAN 8 ● Intrusion Sender Community Sensor Sender Community Sensor Sender Community Sensor

Figure 12-4

Once a category has been selected, the filter condition will be shown at the bottom of the trap list. See Figure 12-5 as an example: the filter is “Sender = 192.168.10.245, Community = public, Sensor = CPU 1”. The trap list displays only those traps whose contents are included in each of the three filters.
