POST
POST is executed at IPMC startup when either a hard (blade physically extracted/reinserted) or
cold (IPMI Command) reset is performed. POST verifies the functionality of SRAM, IPMB-0,
EEPROM data storage, FRU-Information, and all devices (primarily sensors) attached to the
IPMC's private master-only I
2
C bus. A detailed description of POST tests are as follows:
1. FRU-Information - This test verifies that the FRU-Information is readable from the external
EEPROM where it is stored. Once read, each section's checksum is computed and
validated.
2. IPMB-0 - This test reads the ready signals coming from the I
2
C buffers. This test passes as
long as both ready signals are active and both IPMB busses (IPMB-A and IPMB-B) are
enabled.
3. EEPROM - This test verifies that the EEPROM contents are readable via I
2
C. Since the IPMC
stores its runtime and persistent data here, proper operation is crucial.
4. Master-Only I2C - This test verifies that all expected devices attached to the master-only
I2C bus are accessible.
