IntelP®P Remote Management Module IPMI Support Intel® Remote Management Module 11. Intel® Remote Management Module IPMI Support The Intel® RMM IPMI functionality is that of an IPMI satellite controller to the baseboard BMC. As a satellite controller, the Intel® RMM can respond to IPMI commands issued over the IPMB bus by the BMC. The Intel® RMM IPMI stack complements the IPMI stack running on the baseboard BMC. The IPMI stack for the Intel® RMM contains two main components.

Intel® Remote Management Module 11.2.2 IntelP®P Remote Management Module IPMI Support IPMB Channel The IPMB channel is used by the IPMI daemon to communicate via the IPMB bus with the BMC. When the IPMI daemon receives a request from the V-KCS channel, the IPMI daemon will forward the commands that make up this request to the BMC via the IPMB. When the BMC responds via IPMB, the IPMI daemon will forward the response back to the V-KCS channel.
