4.4.3.18 Virtual Front Panel
Virtual Front Panel i
s the module present as “Virtual Front Panel” on the left side in the
embedded web server when "remote Control" tab is clicked.
Main Purpose of the Virtual Front Panel is to provide the front panel functionality virtually.
Virtual Front Panel (VFP) will mimic the status LED and Power LED status and Chassis ID
alone. It is automatically in sync with BMC every 40 seconds.
For any abnormal status LED state, Virtual Front Panel will get the reason behind the
abnormal or status LED changes and displayed in VFP side.
As Virtual Front Panel uses the Chassis Control command for power actions. It will not log the
Front button press event since Logging the front panel press event for Virtual Front Panel
press will mislead the administrator.
