5.7 Event Filtering and Alerting
The BMC implements the following IPMI 2.0 alerting features:
ƒ Platform Event Filtering (PEF)
ƒ Dial Page Alerting
ƒ Alert over LAN
ƒ Alert over Serial/PPP
5.7.1 Platform Event Filtering (PEF)
The Platform Event Filtering (PEF) feature provides a configurable mechanism to allow SEL
events to trigger alert actions. PEF provides a flexible, general mechanism that enables the
BMC to perform selectable actions triggered by a configurable set of platform events. The BMC
supports the following PEF actions:
ƒ Power Off
ƒ Power Cycle
ƒ Reset
ƒ Diagnostic Interrupt
ƒ OEM Action
ƒ Alerts
Both PEF startup delay disable and alert/non-alert actions after power low are not supported by
the BMC.
The Intel ® Server Board Set SE8500HW4 supports a maximum of 20 PEF table entries. Table
15 describes the 12 default configured event filters. The remaining eight entries are configurable
via software. Each PEF entry contains four bytes of data for a maximum table size of 80 bytes.
Associated with each PEF entry is an alert policy that determines whether the alert is a dial
page or PPP alert, and over which IPMI channel the alert should to be sent. There is a
maximum of 20 alert policy entries, with no pre-configured entries in the alert policy table.
