Having looked at the DCMI spec and played around with DCMI support on a few
SP's I have a couple of questions people here might know the answers to.
- Are there people actively working on DCMI or is it considered stable and
finished. The Intel DCMI site doesn't mention any working group.
- The 'Exception Actions' list in Get/Set Power Limit appears to be a
bitmask mapping to actions the service processor will take if the power limit
is exceeded for too long a time. Other than bit 1 which is defined as 'hard
power off the server' the rest of the values are vendor specific? Are there
plans to codify other values into the standard?
- There are two sampling periods referred to in the spec - bytes 15-18 of
Get Power Reading and bytes 14-15 of Get/Set Power Limit. Are these the same?
If not, does this mean the Get Power Reading value is read-only and set by the
BMC manufacturer?
Thanks for any and all insights,
Dick
