Configuring the BMC
Overview
The servers’ Integrated Baseboard Management Controller (iBMC) provides the ability
for IPMI-based management systems to monitor and retrieve information from the
server ‘Out-Of-Band’, independent of whether any operating system is running.
To permit management systems to do this it is necessary to configure the BMC with an
IP address and user credentials. This is done using the
SYSCFG (System
Configuration) utility.
An additional Windows application, SELVIEW (System Event Log Viewer) is provided
to view the contents of the BMC’s System Event Log.
Installation
Linux
Refer to the release notes in the
\BMC\Linux\<version>\SysCfg
directory for
instructions on installing the Linux version of the SYSCFG utility.
Windows
Windows-based SYSCFG and SELVIEW utilities are provided on the ExpressBuilder
DVD. These can be found in the
\BMC\Windows\<arch>
directory.
These utilities can be run directly from the ExpressBuilder DVD.
IMB Driver Installation
To use the Windows BMC utilities it is necessary to first install the Intelligent
Management Bus device driver. This driver provides the Operating System with access
to the BMC.
To install the IMB device driver from the DVD drive, run the following from the
Command Prompt :
<cd-drive>:
cd \BMC\Windows\<arch>\IMBDRIVER
install.cmd
Once installed, the device can be seen in the Device Manager under the System Devices
section.
SELVIEW
SELVIEW (System Event Log Viewer) is provided to view the contents of the BMC’s
System Event Log and save the log to a file. This file can then be sent to a support team
for analysis.
This utility is only available for the Windows Operating System.
Refer to the release notes for further information on using SELVIEW .
