IPMI Boot Parameter
Many BIOS setup parameters and setup default parameters are stored as Intelligent Platform
Management Interface (IPMI) boot parameters within a non-volatile memory controlled by the
Intelligent Platform Management Controller (IPMC). The IPMI boot parameter supports USER
and DEFAULT areas. The USER area contains the current BIOS setup settings. The parameters in
the USER area can be modified by the BIOS setup utility and can also be modified remotely by
IPMI commands, for example, through the shelf manager.
The DEFAULT area holds the BIOS default settings. This area is read only. BIOS default settings
are loaded when selecting the Restore Defaults Item on BIOS Save and Exit Menu.
A detailed description of the IPMI Boot Parameter and the corresponding IPMI commands is
available in
System Boot Options Parameter #100
The main advantage of using IPMI boot parameter is that the parameters stored as IPMI boot
parameters are not changed after a BIOS upgrade or a BIOS boot bank switch. BIOS will not
return to the BIOS default settings after a BIOS upgrade.
Normally, the BIOS setup parameters are stored within the BIOS flash. The following figure and
description helps you to understand how a BIOS setup parameter and an IPMI boot parameter
interact.
NOTE: The user and default boot parameter storage areas (refer to
) are both programmed by Artesyn. BIOS and IPMI upgrades
will not affect any parameters saved in the boot parameter storage area. Not all BIOS
parameters are saved in the boot parameter storage area. Only the BIOS parameters
listed in the boot parameter table provided with the blade
are saved, others will be set
to default during a BIOS upgrade.
