What is IPMI? The Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) specification defines a set of interfaces for platform management. It is implemented by a large number of hardware manufacturers to support system management on motherboards. The features of IPMI that most users will be interested in are sensor monitoring (i.e. CPU temperatures, fan speeds), remote power control, and serial-over-LAN (SOL). What is FreeIPMI? FreeIPMI provides in-band and out-of-band IPMI software based on the IPMI v1.5/2.0 specification. FreeIPMI provides tools and libraries for users to access and read IPMI sensor readings, system event log (SEL) entries, serial-over-LAN (SOL), remote power control functions, field replaceable unit (FRU) device information, and more. More information about FreeIPMI can be found at the FreeIPMI webpage at: http://www.gnu.org/software/freeipmi/index.html Release 0.8.10 Changes --------------------- o Support many new Inventec OEM extensions in ipmi-oem. o Support many new Quanta OEM extensions in ipmi-oem. o Support many new Intel OEM extensions in ipmi-oem. o Support Intel s5500WB OEM extensions in ipmi-sel. o Support Intel Node Manager SEL events across Quanta S99Q, Inventec 5441, Inventec 5442, and Intel S5500WB motherboards. o Move some OEM extensions from Dell section to Inventec section in ipmi-oem. Were previously thought to be additions by Dell, but in fact are not. Backwards compatability supported. o Support 'assumeio' inband workaround globally. o Gracefully handle some errors in ipmi-sensors. o Fix in-band probing corner case. o Fix various parameter input checks in ipmi-oem. o Fix help output corner cases in ipmi-oem. o Other minor documentation/bug fixes.
