SUMMARY
=======
Sun Netra ATCA (Advanced Telecom Computing Architecture) blades have an ATCA
version of IPMI controller as their baseboard management controller (BMC),
to meet IPMI specification and ATCA base specification PICMG 3.0.

This project develops a Solaris driver to interface the IPMI controller while
- keeping an API compatible to open source community standard (OpenIPMI);
- and supporting ATCA features;

 (jaw)	Updated.

ram-1   Your proposal and specification seem to clearly show how you plan
        to bridge a variety of underlying IPMI implementations with a single
        interface. Are there reasons (other than its been declared out-of-scope)        the same could not be done for the previously implemented IPMI project?
        Are there issues with the previous implementation that discourage this?
        (Previous version is PSARC/2004/453, correct?)

ram-2   20questions #5. Your answer, which I believe is technically accurate,
        delegated any security to the IPMI implementation. In a layered access
        approach as you describe, are you storing any user/password information
        for various access? Is there any provision to protect underlying interfaces
        if they are found to be vulnerable?

ram-99  nit: ipmi_onepager.txt: 5. Reference Documents:
        A couple of documents in:
        /net/mc-re190/export/public/atca_wosdocs/ipmi/onepager/references
        are not readable by other than owner.

seb-01  Your interface table shows that you import OpenIPMI ioctls.  Is
        that backwards?  Does your driver not export these ioctls?

seb-02  What privileges are required to issue each ioctl?

THE NEXT STEP
=============

Email vote when spec is updated to cover privilege

Opinion: OpenIPMI is reference architecture going forward

Opinion: Old drivers should update to use OpenIPMI

TCR: Use least privilege
