Important
The IPMI interface port is only enabled in CM Release 8.2.0 or later and IPMI firmware version 2.07 or earlier.
The Trellix Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) allows you to perform the following tasks remotely from a Web browser:
Cycle the power on your appliance when it is unresponsive.
Note
The IPMI is active even if the appliance was powered down from the appliance CLI or from the power button on the front panel, as long as the main power is on.
Reset the server.
Access the serial console when the management interface is unavailable or unresponsive.
Check the status of server sensors.
For IPMI interface configuration details, see Configuring the IPMI interface.
The IPMI interface uses a network connection to the IPMI port of the appliance and is accessed through a secure Web browser session. (The standard IPMI interface allows connections using third-party tools such as Supermicroʼs IPMI View; however, all such external access to the IPMI interface from the appliance is disabled.)
Important
The IPMI remote control cannot perform a graceful power down of the appliance.
