Abstract
A management function setting method for dynamically setting a plurality of management functions of an intelligent platform management interface (IPMI) of a computer system, allows a system manager to obtain a system status through the IPMI, and set customized commands for selecting needed function modules for execution. Through the establishment of an IPMI OEM command, the method is capable of enabling or disabling management functions and obtaining function status flags of the management functions. Moreover, by determining the need of users, the method executes the IPMI OEM command to set the function status flags of the management functions, so as to fast, correctly and efficiently set the management functions and satisfy the demands of the users.
