IPMI

Introduction

• IPMI is a set of standardized specifications for hardware-based host management systems used for system management and monitoring

• IPMI provides sysadmins with the ability to manage and monitor systems even if they are powered off or in an unresponsive state using a direct network connection to the system's hardware without requiring any form of authentication

• IPMI can also be used for remote upgrades to systems without requiring physical access to the target host.

• It can also be used for querying inventory information, reviewing hardware logs, and alerting using SNMP
