Okay I was basically mentioning about the communication between the host
and the BMC. So in reality, a graphics adapter would be assigned to a
partition, where PFW (Platform firmware) can display the SMS ( System
Management Services) menus for some specific operations. Since PFW does not
have the authentication mechanism, it's done by BMC with the help of PAM
module according to the specific role of the user.
Thanks and Best Regards,
Jayashankar
