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.
Note: Only the NetBackup Appliance Shell Menu can be accessed by using the
IPMI interface. The NetBackup Appliance Web Console cannot be accessed
by using the IPMI interface.
■
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.
