4. IPM Device
Figure 4-1
Clicking the IPM Device tab of the IPMI View management session in the Viewing Window (shown in
Figure 4-1) will display some information and functions of the system’s BMC firmware.
• Device Information
This shows the revision levels of the BMC and IPMI firmware.
• ACPI System Power State
This shows the managed system’s power state. If the managed system is in a power-off state, the green
light will be off. This status will update automatically every five seconds.
• Graceful Power Control (Administrator and Operator only)
Graceful power control will inform the OS running on the managed system to shutdown/reboot/power-
cycle within a specified time (the default is 30 seconds). When the OS running on the managed system
receives a graceful power control request, it will generate a pop-up window on the managed system’s
monitor and start a count down. This pop-up notice window gives the user who is working on the
system a chance to save any working files. However, remote login users or service users (for example
Web site visitors) will not see this notice.
Graceful Shutdown: same as the shutdown function in Windows. The managed system will enter an
S5 state.
