Boot Option Parameters
The designation, semi-volatile means that the parameter will be kept across system power cycles,
resets, system power on/off, and sleep state changes, but will not be preserved if the management
controller loses standby power or is cold reset. Parameters designated as semi-volatile are initialized
to 0’s upon controller power up or hard reset, unless otherwise specified.
IPMI allows software to use the boot initiator mailbox as a way for a remote application to pass
OEM parameters for additional selection of the boot process and direction of the startup of post-
boot software. If additional parameters are not included, the system boots the primary/first-
scanned device of the type specified.
SYS HEALTH
QUERY
-V Causes the BMC to return a high level version of the system health
status in multi-line "verbose" format. The BMC returns a string of
the following format:
SYS Health:xx<output termination sequence>.
Power: ON, OFF (soft-off or mechanical off), SLEEP (sleep - used
when can't distinguish sleep level), S4, S3, S2, S1, Unknown.
Temperature:xx<output termination sequence>.
Voltage:xx<output termination sequence>.
PowerSystem:xx<output termination sequence>.
Cooling:xx<output termination sequence>.
Drives:xx<output termination sequence>.
Security:xx<output termination sequence>.
Other:xx<output termination sequence>.
Where xx is:
OK (monitored parameters within normal operating ranges).
Non-critical ("warning": hardware outside normal operating
range).
Critical ("fatal" :hardware exceeding specified ratings).
Non-recoverable ("potential damage": system hardware in jeopardy
or damaged).
Unspecified fault (fault detected, but severity unspecified).
