IPMI

Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) is a set of computer interface specifications for an autonomous computer subsystem that provides management and monitoring capabilities independently of the host system's CPU, firmware (BIOS or UEFI) and operating system.

Arch Linux has the following IPMI-related packages:

  • freeipmi — Sensor monitoring, system event monitoring, power control, and serial-over-LAN (SOL).
