Sensors [number ] Lists all sensors and the current reading of each. If number is given, list only that sensor (which can be obtained from SDRprint). Note that sensor number may not be a truly unique reference if multiple LUNs are available. SetSystemInfoParameter {parameter} The IPMI 2.0 spec allows information strings to be set with this command. Commonly used parameters are shown under the GetSystemInfoParameter directive. SetOANameStrings (c-Class Integrity Blades only) The c-Class blade enclosure has a monitoring processor called the Onboard Administrator (OA). The OA presents a web interface that includes summary data about the OS running on each blade. This directive populates that information. It is typically run by startup scripts and does not need to be invoked by the user. Summary Print machine identification and firmware revisions. On cellular platforms, partition and cell configuration is added. Type02decode Given 16 hexadecimal bytes, this directive prints the synthesized text message for a SEL entry comprised of these bytes. This directive is useful only to developers and deep IPMI spec geeks. Files hpbmc needs the Open IPMI devintfcharacter device file to directly access a local BMC. These device files must have the major number of the ipmideventry in/proc/devices, established after modprobe ipmi_devintf. The low-level hardware interface must also be present. Its name is one of ipmi_si, ipmi_si_drv, or ipmi_kcs_drv depending on your version of Linux. The hpmgmtbase RPM installation is responsible for insuring the proper creation of the character device file, usually one of /dev/ipmi0 or /dev/ipmi/0. Typically the -d option is not specified and the defaults use by hpbmc will just work. hpbmc -d also accepts an argument in the form user:password@host, where host is an RMCP-compliant management processor or BMC. The determination of user and password is left as an exercise for the reader. A password may be supplied without a user name and colon. The SDRR (Sensor Data Record Repository) cache is stored in /var/run/SDRR_xxxxxxxr as an ASCII representation of the raw bytes. Do not edit it by hand. xxxxx is a function of the -b and -d arguments so that multiple caches may be kept. Environment If the HP IPMI caching daemon, hpipmid, is running, hpbmc will transparently do all BMC communication through that daemon. All functionality is preserved, and performance on some operations (such as SELprint) is increased over 100 times. An alternative to the -d option is the environment variable HPBMC_DEVICE. It must have the same syntax as the device file or RMCP host listed above. See Also hpuid(8), hpipmid(8) Author Hewlett-Packard Company.http://www.hp.com/linux.
