9.1.7 Chassis Device Commands
9.1.7.1 System Boot Options Commands
The IPMI system boot options commands allow you to control the boot process of a blade by
sending boot parameters to the blade’s boot firmware (for example BIOS, U-Boot or VxWorks).
The boot firmware interprets the sent boot parameters and executes the boot process
accordingly. Each boot parameter addresses a particular functionality and consists of a
sequence of one or more bytes. The IPMI specification assigns numbers to boot parameters.
Boot parameters 0 to 7 are standard parameters whose structure and functionality is defined
by the IPMI specification. The boot parameters 96 to 127 are OEM-specific which can be used
for different purposes.
When using the Get/Set System Boot Options commands, except for parameter 100, use the
response/request data fields with the Set Selector and the Block Selector set to 0x00. When
using the Get/Set System Boot Option for the parameter 100, the Set Selector and the Block
Selector have a specific meaning. Details are given in
System Boot Options Parameter #100 on
page 188 for details.
The following table lists which boot properties can be configured and the corresponding boot
parameter number.
