Firmware Upgrade Process
79
Building the ipmitool Utility
Build and install the
ipmitool
utility on a Linux host system using the following procedure:
1. Unpack the source tarball obtained from the secure Web site and change to the
ipmitool
directory:
bash$ tar xzf <ipmitool_package_name>
bash$ cd ipmitool
2. Run the
configure
script to prepare for the build. The
--prefix=<dir>
option can be used to
specify the directory where the resulting files are installed. If not specified,
/usr/local
is used (in
this case, the installation requires root privileges).
bash$ ./configure --prefix=/home/user/ipmitool
3. Run the
make install
command to build and install the
ipmitool
utility.
bash$ make install
Accessing an IPMC with ipmitool
The available access methods that can be used to communicate with the IPMC depend on the
IPMC firmware configuration and overall system setup. The most frequently used access
methods are the following:
• Via an Ethernet connection to a Shelf Manager that is managing the IPMC. See “Accessing an IPMC
via a Shelf Manager,” on page 79 .
This access method can be used from any Linux or Windows host that has an Ethernet connection to
the Shelf Manager of the shelf in which the IPMC is installed. In this access method, the
ipmitool
utility uses an Ethernet connection to the Shelf Manager to double bridge IPMI requests to the IPMC
over IPMB-0 and IPMB.
• Via the serial debug or serial payload interface of the IPMC. See “Accessing an IPMC via a Serial
Interface,” on page 80 .
This access method can be used from any Linux or Windows host that has a serial connection with
the IPMC’s serial debug or serial payload interfaces. In this access method, the
ipmitool
utility
uses a serial interface to directly access the IPMC.
Accessing an IPMC via a Shelf Manager
To access the IPMC using an Ethernet connection to a Shelf Manager, the following
parameters should be specified in the command line of the
ipmitool
utility:
-I lan
This command line parameter instructs the
ipmitool
utility to use Ethernet for
communications with the IPMC.
-H <Shelf Manager IP>
This command line parameter specifies the IP address of the Shelf Manager.
-t <IPMC address>
This command line parameter specifies the remote target address (IPMB address of the IPMC)
to which requests should be bridged by the shelf manager.
-A <authtype>
