4.6 Artesyn Extensions
The following describes features which are not specified in the HPI-B specifications, but were
added by Artesyn.
4.6.1 HPI Controls for Domain and Shelf Management
This refers to the Domain Management Resource and Shelf Management Resource which were
previously explained. Both are Artesyn-specific extensions. See
Working with the Multishelf
Library on page 40 .
4.6.2 IPMI System Boot Options Support
A FRU may have a payload which is capable of booting an operating system (OS). Usually, a
boot firmware, such as BIOS or U-Boot, is started after the payload is powered up or reset. Via
the System Boot Options Control you can set some options for the boot firmware. The boot
firmware will read these settings from the IPMC.
In order to set or get the system boot options, you need to use the HPI Boot Option control.
This control maps the IPMI commands Set System Boot Options and Get System
Boot Options
to HPI.
The Boot Option Control is only available for AdvancedTCA front blades and the shelf
manager if the respective IPMC supports the Set System Boot Option IPMI command.
Refer to the Intelligent Platform Management Interface Specification v2.0, section 28.12 Set
System Boot Options Command and 28.13 Get System Boot Options Command, for further
details. Furthermore refer to the respective IPMI Programmer’s Reference manuals of the
respective blades.
