Using the Baseboard Management Controller 5

Introduction

This section introduces the A BMC and includes the requirements for web-based graphical user

interface (GUI), keyboard, video, and mouse (KVM), and virtual media.

BMC Key Features and Functions

The following lists the supported features of the BMC:

• IPMI v1.5 and v2.0

• Out-of-band monitoring and control for sever management over LAN

• Dedicated 10/100 NIC for remote management over a network

• Information report includes main board part number, product name, manufacturer, etc.

• Health status/hardware monitoring report

• Events log, view, and clear

• Event notification using chassis LED indicator and Platform Event Trap (PET)

• Platform Event Filtering (PEF) to take selected action for selected events, including NMI and

SMI

• Chassis management including power control and status report, front panel buttons, LED

control, Secure Mode, and Boot Option

• Watchdog and auto server re-start and recovery

• Multi-session user and alert destination for LAN channel

• IPMB connector to enable advanced server management communication with BMC

Using the Web UI

The BMC firmware features an embedded web server, enabling users to connect to the BMC using

an Internet browser (Microsoft

Internet Explorer™) without needing to install KVM and virtual

storage software on a remote console.

Web-based GUI is supported on the following browsers:

Microsoft Windows:

• Internet Explorer 6 and 7

• Mozilla

Firefox

2.0 or later

Linux:

Mozilla Firefox 2.0 or later

NOTE: Before using the web user interface, ensure that the firewall settings are configured to enable

access to the following ports: 8890 (KVM), 9000 (storage), 9001, 9002, and 9003.

Logging into the Web User Interface

Enter the BMC-embedded server IP address or URL into the address bar of the web browser. The

BMC interface has a default of (DHCP\Static). Enter the system BIOS setup with <F2> to

change these settings.

When connecting to the BMC, the login screen prompts for the username and password. This

authentication with Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protection prevents unauthorized intruders from

gaining access to the BMC web server. Once authentication is passed, you can manage the server by

privilege. At the same time, the PHP Hypertext Preprocessor (PHP) records all user information,

including user ID and privilege.

Firmware Update

Use the Firmware Update feature to upgrade to the latest firmware version. The following data is

included in the iBMC firmware package:

• Compiled iBMC firmware code and data

• Web-based user interface, JPEG, and other user interface data files

• Default configuration files

NOTE: The firmware update retains the current iBMC settings.

Updating the iBMC Firmware

NOTE: Before beginning the firmware update, download the latest firmware version and save it on your

local system. During the process of firmware update, the AC power of the managed system cannot be

unplugged and the Web GUI cannot be closed.

Browse to, or Enter the path on your system where the firmware image file resides.

Example:

C:\Updates\V1.0\<image_name>

The default firmware image name is

firmimg.ast2050.dcs
