OSA Demonstrates DMTF Server Management on Servers Enabled with OSAs IPMI Firmware and Software
|
WHO: | OSA Technologies, Inc., a subsidiary of Avocent Corporation (NASDAQ: AVCT), provides embedded platform management solutions to the server, blade, telecommunications, networking, and storage marketplaces worldwide. OSA's market leading solutions, including IPMI software and firmware, are well entrenched through partnerships with major silicon vendors, system and design manufacturers, and branded OEMs. Building on its first mover advantage, OSA has strategically located sales, support and development centers in San Jose, Taipei and Shanghai to more closely meet the embedded management needs of system vendors shipping OSA-enabled products worldwide. More information about OSA can be found at www.osatechnologies.com. |
| WHAT: | OSA Technologies’ Steffen Hulegaard, Director of Engineering will host a presentation on the topic “Design Considerations for WBEM/CIM, SMASH and IPMI.”
OSA will demonstrate and discuss a server management (SM) command line protocol (CLP) prototype. To illustrate how much expense savings (and how much time-to-market schedule savings) IPMI might provide, we also detail how embedded sensors map from IPMI to CIM/SMASH.

| WHY: | As IT is continually asked to do more with less, manageability has become an increasingly important component. In turn, vendors are gearing their products to include new and advanced manageability features to meet user needs. The IPMI specification is unique in its effort of providing the only “Last Mile” management framework. IPMI is the most widely deployed embedded management specification, providing remote monitoring, management, diagnostics and recovery features no matter the type of vendor or state of the processor or operating system. However, different vendors provide different commands to access IPMIs remote functions such as power on/off/reset.
The Distributed Management Task Force's (DMTF's) new Systems Management Working Group (SMWG) is applying the Common Information Model (CIM) to define the Systems Management Architecture for Server Hardware (SMASH). SMASH enables a WBEM/CIM compliant interface to hardware-level manageability - as an example - provided by the Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI). The DMTF WBEM/CIM server management working group (SMWG) was founded in January 2004 to develop a simple, systems management (oriented) command line protocol (SM-CLP). This makes integration between IPMI and WBEM/CIM with CLP a necessary requirement for designers to understand. |
