ASM

ASM 6.0

ASM is a system management tool based on the Simple Network Mangement Protocol ( SNMP) and

Remote Rrocedure Call (RPC) via service provider. It detects server problems related to the processor

thermal condition, voltage detection, fan status or redundant power supply status.

This feature is designed primarily for server supervisors and management information system (MIS)

personnel to help them detect errors or potential trouble spots in their network servers through a single

management station.

ASM consists of two major parts:

! ASM-Console- a Windows-based monitoring station that communicates with the ASM-Agents.

! ASM-Agent(s)- the individual servers managed by the ASM-Consol

anageability interface specification. It provides an architecture that defines how unique device can all

ommunicate with the CPU in a stadard way.

ith IPMI, the CPU has only one thing to communicate with-the IPMI Event Log. The CPU only has to ask

hat has changed since the last time it asked. Every device communicates directly, through IPMI, to the

vent Log, which is used to record, in a consistent way, all status events for the unique device. This

implifies the agent-handling routine. The system only needs a single agent, and it will not need to be

hanged when you move from five devices to manage, for example, to six. And the system doesnt need to

hange the way to CPU checks the Event Log when a new device is added to the system; it always checks

n the same way, whether there is one device or a hundred. With IPMI, use of the CPU is minimized, so

verall system performance improves.

here are four elements of IPMI: Intelligent Platform Management Interface, Intelligent Platform

anagement Bus, Intellignet Chassis Management Bus, and Baseboard Management Controller. Detailed

escription of each element listed below.

elligent Platform Management Interface ( IPMI )

PMI is the specification for the management controller command sets, including command sets for

ensors, event logs, and sensor data record access, as well as the specification for the data formats,

ncluding sensor data records, event log entries, and FRU inventory information. IPMI is also the name used

or the overall standardization effort.

elligent Platform Management Bus ( IPMB)

PMB is the I2C-based, multi-master bus used for intra-chassis communication with satellite

anagement controllers. Here sensor devices and cards with IPMI bus access can be added to the IPMI

tandard.

elligent Chassis Management Bus ( ICMB )CMB is the RS-485 based inter-chassis management bus, based on IPMB. It is used for common chassis

nd emergency management functions, including power and reset control, chassis status, events, and

RU inventory.

eboard Management Controller (BMC)

MC is used to monitor baseboard temperatures and voltages, and to manage the system event log and

on-volatile storage for sensor data records. It provides a system software interface to the Intelligent

latform Mangement Bus. 1

The description of IPMI and IPMI elements is copied from IPMIs white paper, published by HEWLETT PACKARD, in February 1998.

System Utilities

Chapter 2roductionost systems are already configured by the manufacturer or the dealer. There is no need to run

etup when starting the computer unless you get a Run Setup message.

he Setup program loads configuration values into the battery-backed nonvolatile memory called

MOS RAM. This memory area is not part of the system RAM.

OTE: If you repeatedly receive Run Setup messages, the battery may be bad. In this case, the

ystem cannot retain configuration values in CMOS. Ask a qualified technician for assistance.

efore you run Setup, make sure that you have saved all open files. The system reboots

mmediately after you exit Setup. ter 2 22

emory is available. The following table describle the type of checkpoints that may occur during the

ootblock initialization portion of the BIOS:

Checkpoint Code Descriptionefore D1 Early chipset initialization is done. Early super I/O initialization is done including

RTC and keyboard controller. NIMI is disabled.

1 Perform keyboard controller BAT test. Checks if waking up from powermanagement suspend state. Save power-on CPUID value in scratch CMOS.

0 Go to flat mode with 4GB limit and GA20 enabled. Verify the bootblock checksum.

2 Disable CACHE before memory detection. Execute full memory sizing module.Verify that flat mode is enabled.

3 If memory sizing module not executed, start memory refresh and do memorysizing in Bootblack code. Do additional chipset initialization. Re-enable CACHE.Verify that falt mode is enabled.

4 Test base 512KB memory. Adjust policies and cache first 8MB. Set stack.

5 Bootblock code is copied from ROM to lower system memory and control isgiven to it BIOS executes out of RAM.

6 Both key sequence and OEM specific method is checked to determine if BIOSrecovery is forced. Main BIOS checksum is tested. If BIOS recovery is necessary, control flows to checkpoint E0.

7 Restore CPUID value back into register. The Bootblock-Runtime interface module is moved to system memory and control is given to it. Determine whether to execute serial flash.

8 The Runtime module is uncompressed into memory. CPUID information is stored in memory.

9 Store the Uncompressed pointer for future use in PMM.Copying Main BIOS into memory. Leaves all RAM below 1MB Read-Write including E000 and F000 shadow areas but closing SMRAM.

A Restore CPUID value back into register. Give control to BIOS POST.

escrible the type of checkpoints that may occur during the Bootblock recovery portion of the BIOS.

Checkpoint Description0 Initialize the floppy controller in the super I/O. Some interrupt vectors are

initialized. DMA controller is initialized 8259 interrupt controller is initialized.L1 cache is enabled.

9 Set up floppy controller and data. Attempt to read from floppy.

A Enable ATAPI hardware. Attempt to read from ARMD and ATAPI CDROM.

B Disable ATAPI hardware. Jump back to checkpoint E9.

F Read error occured on media. Jump back to checkpoint EB.

9 or EA Determine informatoin about root directory of recovery media.

0 Search for pre-defined recovery file name in root directory.

1 Recovery file not found.

2 Start reading FAT table and analyze FAT to find the clusters occupied by the recovery file.

3 Start reading the recovery file cluster by cluster.

5 Disable L1 cache.

A Check the validity of the recovery file configuration to the current configurationof the flash part.

B Make flash write enable through chipset and OEM specific method. Detect proper flash part. Verify that the found flash part size equals the recovery file size.

4 The recovery file size does not equal the found flash part size.

C Erase the flash part.

D Program the flash part.

F The flash has been updated successfully. Make flash write disabled. Disable ATAPI hardware. Restore CPUID value back into register. Give control to F000ROM at F000:FFF0h

Checkpoint Description3 Disable NIMI,Parity, video for EGA, and DMA controllers. Initialize BIOS, POST,

and Runtime data area. Also initialize BIOS modules on POST entry and GPNV area. Initialize CMOS as mentioned in the Kernel Variable wCMOSFlags.

4 Check CMOS diagnostic byte to determine if battery power is OK and CMOSchecksum is OK. Verify CMOS checksum manually by reading storage area.If the CMOS checksum is bad, update CMOS with power-on default values andclear passwords. Initialize status register A.Initializes data variables that are based on CMOS setup questions.Initializes both the 8259 compatible PICs in the system.

5 Initializes the interrupt controlling hardware (generally PIC) and interrupt vectortable.

6 Do R/W test to CH-2 count reg. Initialize CH-0 as system timer. Install the POSTINT1Ch handler. Enable IRQ-0 in PIC for system timer interrupt.Traps INT1Ch vector to POSTINT1ChHandlerBlock.

8 Initializes the CPU. The BAT test is being done on KBC.Program the keyboard controller command byte is being done after Autodetection of KB/MS using AMI KB-5.
