It defines a timeout value for the graceful shutdown of the payload, which means how long the
IPMC waits for the payload to shut down gracefully. If the payload software is not configured to
be notified by the graceful shutdown requests, the IPMC will shut down the payload when the
timer expires.
8.1.7.1.4 System Boot Options Parameter #100
The system boot options parameter #100 can be used to configure the blade’s boot firmware
and thus control the boot process. The boot options that can be configured using this
parameter are typically a subset of the boot options which you can configure in the boot
firmware directly, for example, using a setup menu.
The IPMC contains a storage area for the payload boot options. When the blade boots, the boot
firmware reads out these boot options from the IPMC, interprets them and executes the boot
process accordingly. Note that the boot options stored in the IPMC have higher priority than
that stored in the local area of the boot firmware itself.
Table 8-11 System Boot Options Parameter #98
Bit Description
15:8 Timeout for GRACEFUL_SHUTDOWN, MSB (given in 100 msec)
7:0 Timeout for GRACEFUL_SHUTDOWN, LSB (given in 100 msec)
The System Boot Options parameter #98 is non-volatile. It survives the IPMC power cycle,
reset and may survive the IPMC firmware upgrades.
