Abstract

Disclosed herein are methods for accessing the baseboard management controller (BMC) in the Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI). A BMC of a server sets a first privilege key based on a key setting command. In one embodiment, a basic input / output system (BIOS) of the server sends the BMC a data reading command, which has the first privilege key and according to which the BMC then sends a BIOS setting to the BIOS. In another embodiment, the BIOS sends the BMC a BIOS setting, which has the first privilege key and is then saved by the BMC in a non-volatile memory.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to server technology, in particular to an access method for a baseboard management controller (BMC for short). Background technique [0002] A server providing an Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI for short) has a baseboard management controller independent of the central processing unit. The baseboard management controller monitors multiple sensors in the server to grasp and automatically report operating conditions such as temperature and power stability in the server. As the core of IPMI, the baseboard management controller can be connected to the southbridge chip, Super I / O (integrated module of multiple I / O controllers), network interface card (NIC for short), etc. Wait. In the case of providing so many external connections, and these connections are local hubs on other motherboards, when the server is running, signals from multiple sources must be sent to the baseboard management controller at the sam...
