IPMI On cell-based HP Integrity servers, the MP supports IPMI. IPMI is an industry-standard interface that defines common, message-based interfaces to platform management hardware and common records for describing devices and their characteristics. The IPMI specification supports extensions such as - HP Integrity rx8620 | Installation (Smart Setup) Guide, Windows Server 2003, v6. - Page 83
remote complex using IPMI over LAN. NOTE: You must use IPMI over LAN to manage nPartitions remotely if none of the nPartitions on the target server have been booted or configured yet. To use IPMI over LAN, you must enable IPMI LAN access at the MP, set the MP IPMI password - HP Integrity rx8620 | Installation (Smart Setup) Guide, Windows Server 2003, v6. - Page 84

nPartitions exist on the complex yet. This is called remote management mode. The other option is to install nPar tools onto an nPartition on the server, and then use them to manage the other nPartitions in the system. This is called local management mode.
