Introduction

The Dell™ PowerEdge™ systems baseboard management controller (BMC) monitors the system

for critical events by communicating with various sensors on the system board and sends alerts and

log events when certain parameters exceed their preset thresholds. The BMC supports the

industry-standard Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) specification, enabling you

to configure, monitor, and recover systems remotely. The BMC provides the following features:

• Allows access through the system’s serial port and integrated NIC

• Fault logging and SNMP alerting

• Access to system event log (SEL) and sensor status

• Control of system functions including power on and off

• Support that is independent of the system’s power or operating state

• Text console redirection for system setup, text-based utilities, and operating system consoles

• Access to the Microsoft EMS/SAC and Red Hat Linux serial console interfaces by using serial

over LAN (SOL).

Dell provides several distinct utilities and programs for accessing the BMC to perform

management activities. The following BMC interfaces allow users to configure and manage your

system through the BMC.

• The BMC Management Utility allows remote, out-of-band LAN and/or serial port power

control, event log access, and console redirection.

• The System Maintenance Utility (SMU) is an EFI-based configuration tool that provides the

ability to configure the BMC.

• Dell OpenManage Server Administrator allows remote, in-band access to event logs, power

control, and sensor status information and provides the ability to configure the BMC.

• In addition, the BMC can be accessed by standard, off-the-shelf terminal or terminal

emulator utilities that allow access to sensor status information, and power control.

The BMC-management features documented in this guide are supported on the following Dell

PowerEdge system:

BMC Configuration and Management Tasks

This user’s guide documents the basic tasks needed to set up and configure the BMC on a

managed system in preparation for using the BMC Management Utility. These basic tasks can be

broken down into the two following sections:

• Configuring a managed system’s BMC

• Managing a remote managed system by accessing its BMC

Configuring the BMC

To configure the BMC in a pre-boot environment, you can use the System Maintenance Utility.

Alternately, you can configure the BMC on a managed system with a running operating system

using the Sever Administrator home page GUI or CLI.

Managing the BMC

To manage a remote managed system by accessing its BMC in a pre-boot environment, or by

accessing the BMC of a nonresponsive system, you must use the BMC Management Utility. To

configure the BMC on a system with a running operating system or to preform everyday BMC

management tasks, you can use the Server Administrator home page GUI.

Planning for Using Your System’s BMC

How you plan to use the BMC to manage your system dictates the configuration procedures you

will need to perform. The following are some likely configuration scenarios:

• Configure BMC LAN alerting so that you can monitor your managed system using IT

Assistant.

• Configure BMC LAN Access so that you can use the BMC Management Utility’s IPMI Shell

to access your system’s BMC over a shared LAN.

• Configure BMC Serial Access so that you can use the BMC Management Utility’s IPMI Shell

or a text console redirection to access your system’s BMC over a serial cable.

• Configure BMC Serial Over LAN Access so that you can use the BMC Management Utility’s

SOL Proxy to access your system’s BMC over a shared LAN to activate console redirection.

Consult the

BMC Configuration Matrix

(Figure 1-1), as well as the sections describing each likely

configuration scenario, before moving on to the next chapter "Configuring Your Managed System."

Basic BMC Alerting Over a Shared LAN

If you plan to only use your system’s BMC functionality to monitor BMC Alerts using IT Assistant,

you will need follow the BMC configuration guidelines listed in Table 1-1.

IPMI Shell Over a Shared LAN

If you plan to use the BMC Management Utility’s IPMI Shell to access your system’s BMC over a

shared LAN, you will need follow the BMC configuration guidelines listed in Table 1-2.

IPMI Shell Over the Serial Cable

If you plan to use the BMC Management Utility’s IPMI Shell or a text console redirection to access

your system’s BMC over a serial cable, you will need follow the BMC configuration guidelines listed

in Table 1-3.
