IPMItool
IPMItool is a CLI utility that helps in configuring and managing devices using the
IPMI version 1.5 and later protocol. IPMItool supports out-of-band (OOB) access
(over a LAN or through the serial port) to a single system at a time. However,
multiple IPMItool sessions can run simultaneously on the same managed system.
IPMItool allows a user with user-level BMC privileges to:
•
Display the current power status.
•
Display the 16-byte system GUID of the managed system.
•
Display information from the system’s FRU.
•
Display the BMC firmware information.
•
Display summary information about the system event log.
•
Display logged events.
•
Display current status of platform sensors.
•
Enable or disable SOL.
NOTE:
See the IPMItool man page available on the World Wide Web for a
comprehensive list of features
.
NOTE:
While running ipmitool inband on Linux, if the OpenIPMI driver is not
running by default, it may cause commands to fail. To start the OpenIPMI drivers,
use the command
service ipmi start
. To set the system to start the
driver automatically during boot, use
chkconfig ipmi on
.
In addition to the operations that can be performed by a user with user-level
BMC user privileges, IPMItool allows a user with operator-level and
administrator-level BMC user privileges to:
•
Power on, reset, or power cycle a managed system.
•
Simulate a hard power off on a managed system (forcing the system to
turn off without shutting down the operating system).
•
Clear the system event log (SEL).
•
Turn the blinking system identification LED on or off.
