Notes

  • Starting from X14 and later platforms, the NmMeManage command is not supported since these platforms do not have a Management Engine (ME) to support Intel Node Manager management.
  • If the BMC status is S0/S1, ME cannot be powered off immediately; a "not support in present state" message is displayed. To power off ME, turn off the chassis power first.
  • If the execution "Status" field for a managed system is SUCCESS, the console output of the managed system will be shown in the Execution Message section of the created log file.
