" intellectuality " of IPMI technology comes from a management microcontroller.In a host computer system, this controller is called as BMC (Baseboard Management Controller, baseboard management controller).BMC is power autonomous, and supervisory control system health status automatically.If find any controlled unit exception, it can take an immediate action, and for example recording events, warning, shuts down automatically or restarts.What be associated with BMC is one group of passive internal memory, be used for storage sensor data (Sensor Data Records, SDR), system event log file and some unit informations such as sequence number and part number information etc.IPMI by specify general, simplify, message based interface, message transmission to the management microcontroller, is realized separating of software and hardware information.

In the IPMI standard, the effect of PEF (Platform Event Filter, platform events is filtered) is exactly the processing of being correlated with for the incident that the BMC cycle produces or receives.In BMC, comprise event filtering forms (Event Filter Table), can be used for writing down the action (Action) that can trigger for which type of incident.As for triggering what kind of action, also can be in the event filtering forms predefined.Like this, when BMC receives incident, can enter in these event filtering forms and inquire about, if obtain event matches (Event Match), the so just specified action of corresponding these filter forms of execution.

Platform events is filtered performed action, can be divided into two classes substantially:

(1) power supply control action (Power Control Action), the action of this class can comprise shutdown (Power Off), shutdown start (Power Cycle) more again, main frame replacement (Reset) or the like; These actions make when emergency (Critical Event) produces, and can protect server (Server) to preserve from rapidly;

(2) alarm action (Alert Action), the action of this class can send alert news, and like this, by receiving platform incident trap (Platform Event Trap), the user just can understand certain or certain the several incidents that take place on server.Platform events is a kind of alarm or particular condition, and directly BIOS or the nextport hardware component NextPort (for example microprocessor or chip) by computer produces.The generation of incident and operating system or the system management software and hardware independent.

Yet, although the IPMI standard has proposed the correlation function that platform events is filtered, how to realize this function, do not make any guidance or regulation, therefore, how can become industry problem anxious to be solved according to the correlation function of IPMI standard implementation platform event filtering.
