How does IPMI work?

When an appliance is powered off or cannot be accessed using the network interface

Remote Management Port

Out of band management using IPMI

Remote Management Console

The following are some of the main uses of IPMI:

■

Manage an appliance that is powered off or unresponsive. Using the IPMI, you
can power on, power off, or restart the appliance from a remote location.

■

Provide out-of-band management and help manage situations where local
physical access to the appliance is not possible or preferred like branch offices
and remote data centers.

■

Access the NetBackup Appliance Shell Menu remotely using IPMI if regular
network interface is not possible.

■

Reimage the appliance from the IPMI interface by using ISO redirection.

■

Monitor hardware health of the appliance from a remote location.

■

Avoid messy cabling and hardware like keyboard, monitor, and mouse (KVM)
solutions to access the appliance.
