BMC Agent
The BMC Agent is a Linux application responsible for:
The BMC Agent uses the BMC Access API to:
BMC Agent Startup Activity
The BMC Agent performs the following steps during its startup:
E-Keying
The BMC Agent supports E-Keying functionality by setting the appropriated state of the
backplane interfaces. It uses the following drivers API for this purpose:
LED handling
The BMC Agent uses the baseboard driver’s LED management API to force all MMC
LEDs ON/OFF to support “lamp test” functionality.
Safe System Upgrade Agent
The SSU Agent provides the framework for Safe System Upgrade functionality. This
framework allows remote upgrade of the following IXB2850 board firmware:
• Receiving and handling Set Port State and Bus Resource Control IPMI
• Receiving and handling the Set FRU LED State IPMI message to force all Media
• Receiving and handling IPMI messages that control the remote Safe System
• Register for reception of all the above-mentioned IPMI messages
• Receive these messages
• Send IPMI messages to the BMC and the ShMC
• Sends to the ShMC an IPMI event about NPU readiness (the CPU is treated as a
