8.5.1

Firmware Progress, OS Boot, and Boot Error Sensor

The IPMC firmware provides a Firmware Progress, OS Boot, and Boot Error Sensor to enable SP
payload firmware and SP payload OS to report boot progress and OS Boot via IPMI event
messages.

The firmware progress sensor is of type 0x0F (System Firmware Progress) and is used to pass
payload status information to the IPMC, which is then logged to the SEL (both local and
remote). While the payload is booting, the payload logs events to the Firmware Progress
Sensor to indicate the progress of the boot process.

The boot error sensor is of type 0x1E (Boot Error) and is used to pass boot failure information
to the IPMC, which is then logged to the SEL.

The OS Boot sensor is of type 0x1F (OS Boot) and is used to inform the IPMC when the
operating system has completed its boot up sequence.

8.5.2

Boot Bank Supervision Sensor

The boot bank supervision sensor is intended to always give the actual boot bank, from which
the payload has booted last. The boot bank information received from this sensor may differ
from the boot bank selection performed, in case if the boot bank selection has changed after
the payload has booted.
