Chapter 4: System Monitoring and Alarms
80
This command line parameter forces the
ipmitool
to use a specific authentication type,
which must, of course, be supported by the Shelf Manager.
For example, to fetch and print Sensor Device Records of an IPMC at IPMB address
0xb2
via
a Shelf Manager with the IP address
192.168.0.2
, the following command line should be
used:
# ipmitool –I lan –H 192.168.0.2 –t 0xb2 –A none sdr
Accessing an IPMC via a Serial Interface
The following
ipmitool
command line parameters are used for communicating with the IPMC
via a serial interface:
-I serial-terminal
This command line parameter instructs the
ipmitool
utility to use the serial interface for
communications with the IPMC.
-D <dev[:baudrate]>
This command line parameter specifies the serial device and baud rate settings to use. For
Linux hosts, the serial device is the system path to the device node (e.g.
/dev/ttyS0 ). For the
Cygwin-flavor of the
ipmitool
utility, Windows serial device names are translated as follows:
the COM1 device name is mapped to /dev/ttyS0 , COM2 is mapped to /dev/ttyS1 and so on.
The supported baud rates are: 2400, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, and 115200.
For example, to fetch and print Sensor Device Records of an IPMC via a serial interface
connection with a baud rate of 9600, the following command line should be used:
# ipmitool –I serial-terminal –D /dev/ttyS0:9600 sdr
Using ipmitool for HPM.1 Upgrades
The
ipmitool
utility has built-in HPM.1 upgrade functionality and can be used as an upgrade
agent. To be able to send HPM.1 commands to the IPMC, the proper connection options
should be specified in the
ipmitool
command line.
See “Accessing an IPMC with ipmitool,” on page 79 for the list of available
ipmitool
command line connection options.
