IPMI
事 实上为降低服务器管理系统的开发成本及管理成本,并解决不同的服务器与周边设备因接口不同而无法沟通的问题, Intel、HP、NEC、Dell共同领导并结合了多家服务器及芯片制造厂商,为新一代的服务器制定了一项重要的共通规格 – IPMI (Intelligent Platform Management Interface),IPMI意义是智能平台管理接口。IPMI是一个开放的标准硬件管理接口规范。它提供了这样的体系结构,其中定义了各种不同的个体 设备如何能以标准的方式与CPU通信。透过IPMI这样的标准接口,系统管理员可轻易地从远程监控到服务器及Client端计算机的各项「健康状况」,并 可依此获得各项MIS管理所需要的信息,即使当操作系统(OS)失效时,IPMI仍可独立运作,协助管理者迅速了解硬件失效的原因,并进一步诊断硬件的各 项问题,以使系统能在最短时间内重新恢复运作。Intel、HP、Dell、IBM、和DEC是当今IPMI标准的推动者,他们努力促进IPMI规范被工 业广泛、开放的采用。作为推动者,这些公司协同工作,制定并合理化IPMI规范;不仅如此,他们还负有开发可支持IPMI规范的产品的使命。还有其他公司 在采用和注册IPMI标准。Intel IPMI web站点上有加入这个规范的正在实际采用IPMI的公司列表。
