For Reset by Virtual Front Panel, the reset will be done by a Chassis Control command.
For Reset by Virtual Front Panel, the restart cause will be because of Chassis Control
command.
During Power action, Power button/Reset button should not accept the next action until
current Power action is complete and the acknowledgment from BMC is received.
EWS will provide a valid message during Power action until it completes the current Power
action.
The VFP does not have any effect on whether the front panel is locked by Set Front Panel
Enables command.
The chassis ID LED provides a visual indication of a system being serviced. The state of the
chassis ID LED is affected by the following actions:
Toggled by turning the chassis ID button on or off.
There is no precedence or lock-out mechanism for the control sources. When a new request
arrives, previous requests are terminated. For example, if the chassis ID button is pressed,
then the chassis ID LED changes to solid on. If the button is pressed again, then the chassis
ID LED turns off.
Note that the chassis ID will turn on because of the original chassis ID button press and will
reflect in the Virtual Front Panel after VFP sync with BMC. Virtual Front Panel will not reflect
the chassis LED software blinking by software command as there is no mechanism to get the
chassis ID Led status.
Only Infinite chassis ID ON/OFF by software command will reflect in EWS during
automatic/manual EWS sync up with BMC.
Virtual Front Panel help should available for virtual panel module.
At present, NMI button in VFP is disabled. It can be used in future.
4.4.3.19 Embedded Platform Debug
The Embedded Platform Debug feature supports capturing low-level diagnostic data (applicable MSRs,
PCI config-space registers, and so on). This feature allows the user to export this data into a file that is
retrievable by the embedded web GUI as well as through host and remote IPMI methods.
These files are compressed, encrypted, and password protected. The file is not meant to be viewable
by the end user but rather to provide additional enhanced debugging capability to an Intel® support
engineer.
4.4.3.20 Data Center Management Interface (DCMI)
The DCMI Specification is an emerging standard that is targeted to provide a simplified management
interface for Internet Portal Data Center (IPDC) customers. It is expected to become a requirement for
server platforms that are targeted for IPDCs. DCMI is an IPMI-based standard that builds upon a set of
required IPMI standard commands by adding a set of DCMI-specific IPMI OEM commands. Intel®
Server Platforms will be implementing the mandatory DCMI features in the BMC firmware (DCMI 1.1
Errata 1 compliance). Please refer to DCMI 1.1 Errata 1 Specification for details. Only mandatory
commands will be supported. There is no support for optional DCMI commands. Optional power
management and SEL roll over feature are also not supported. DCMI Asset tag will be independent of
baseboard FRU asset Tag.
