Example of Creating a Custom IPMI-Type Script
The OnBoard uses
ipmitool
commands to communicate with IPMI 1.5
type service processors. The OnBoard administrator can create a custom script
to communicate with IPMI 2.0 type service processors in 1.5 compatibility
mode or to use extra
ipmitool
arguments to support either OEM extensions
or additional interfaces. To find a list of supported interfaces enter
ipmitool
with the
-h
option. To find a list of supported OEMs, enter
ipmitool
with the “
-o
list ” argument.
