Boot initiator info
(semi-volatile)
6 Address and Identity information for the party that initiated the
boot. The party that initiates the boot writes this parameter and
the boot info acknowledge parameter prior to issuing the
command that causes the system power up, power cycle, or reset.
This data is written by the remote console application, not the
BMC.
Boot Source
Data 1- Channel Number. Channel that delivers the boot
command (for example, chassis control). BIOS and boot software
(e.g. service partition or operating system loader) can use the Get
Channel Sessions to find out information about the party that
initiated the boot
[7:4]—Reserved.
[3:0]—Channel Number.
Data 2:5 - Session ID. Session ID for session that the boot
command will be issued over. This value can be used with the Get
Channel Sessions command to find out information about the
party that initiated the boot.
Data 6:9 - Boot Info Timestamp. This timestamp is used to help
software determine whether the boot information is "stale" or not.
A service partition or OS loader may elect to ignore the boot
information if it is older than expected.
The boot initiator should load this field with the timestamp value
from the IPMI Get SEL Time command prior to issuing the
command that initiates the boot.
