Performing a graceful OS shutdown requires a proprietary OS agent be present. If this agent is not present
or unable to respond after 7 seconds, an error message will be displayed for the user and the command will
terminate (no reset or power off performed). Graceful shutdown commands will not perform hard resets or
power off if OS shutdown does not complete. This model varies from previous implementations of graceful
shutdown requests.

Set In
Progress
(volatile)
0
Data 1
- This parameter is used to indicate when any of the following parameters
are being updated, and when the updates are completed. The bit is primarily
provided to alert software that some other software or utility is in the process of
making changes to the data. The change shall take effect when the write occurs.
[7:2] - Reserved
[1:0] -
00b = Set complete. If a system reset or transition to powered down state
occurs while set in progress is active, the BMC goes to the set complete
state. If rollback is implemented, going directly to set complete without first
doing a commit write causes any pending write data to be discarded.
01b = Set in progress. This flag indicates that some utility or other software
is presently doing writes to parameter data. It is a notification flag only, it
is not a resource lock. The BMC does not provide any interlock mechanism
that would prevent other software from writing parameter data while.
10b = Reserved
11b = Reserved
Service
partition
selector
(semi-
volatile)
a
1
Data 1
[7:0] -
Service partition selector. This value is used to select the service partition
from which BIOS should boot. This document does not specify which value
corresponds to a particular service partition.
00h = Unspecified.
Service
partition
scan
(semi-
volatile)
a
2
Data 1
[7:2] - Reserved
[1] -
1b = Request BIOS to scan for specified service partition. BIOS clears this
bit after the requested scan has been performed.
[0] -
1b = Service Partition discovered. The BIOS sets this bit to indicate it has
discovered the specified service partition. The BIOS must clear this bit on
all system resets and power-ups, except when a scan is requested.
BMC boot

(semi-
volatile)
a

Data 1
- BMC boot flag valid bit clearing. Default = 0000b.
[7:5] - Reserved
[4] -
1b = Do not clear valid bit on reset/power cycle caused by PEF
[3] -
1b = Do not automatically clear boot flag valid bit if IPMI Chassis Control
command not received within 60-second timeout (countdown restarts when
a IPMI Chassis Control command is received)
[2] -
1b = Do not clear valid bit on reset/power cycle caused by watchdog timeout
[1] -
1b = Do not clear valid bit on pushbutton reset / soft-reset (Ctrl-Alt-Del)
[0] -
1b = Do not clear valid bit on power up via power pushbutton or wake event
