IPMC specific features

4.2.2.1

IPMC - ShMC interface

The principal management-oriented link within a Shelf is a two-way redundant implementation of the
Intelligent Platform Management Bus (IPMB). IPMB is based on the inter-integrated circuit (I2C) bus and is
part of the IPMI architecture. In AdvancedTCA Shelves, the main IPMB is called IPMB-0. Each entity attached
to IPMB-0 does so through an IPM Controller, the distributed management controller of the IPMI
architecture. Shelf Managers attach to IPMB-0 through a variant IPM Controller called the Shelf Management
Controller (ShMC). AdvancedTCA IPM Controllers, besides supporting dual redundant IPMBs, also have
responsibility for detecting and recovering from IPMB faults.
