15. Advanced Configuration 15.10 IPMItool The console server includes the ipmitool utility for managing and configuring devices that support the Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) versions 1.5 and 2.0 specifications. IPMI is an open standard for monitoring, logging, recovery, inventory and control of implemented hardware independent of the main CPU, BIOS and OS. The service processor (or Baseboard Management Controller, BMC) is the brain behind platform management. Its primary purpose is to handle autonomous sensor monitoring and event logging. The ipmitool program provides a simple command-line interface to the BMC. It features the ability to read the sensor data repository (SDR) and print sensor values, display the contents of the System Event Log (SEL), print Field Replaceable Unit (FRU) inventory information, read and set LAN configuration parameters, and perform remote chassis power control. SYNOPSIS ipmitool [-c|-h|-v|-V] -I open ipmitool [-c|-h|-v|-V] -I lan -H [-p ] [-U ] [-A ] [-L ] [-a|-E|-P|-f ] [-o ] ipmitool [-c|-h|-v|-V] -I lanplus -H [-p ] [-U ] [-L ] [-a|-E|-P|-f ] [-o ] [-C ] Description This program lets you manage Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) functions of either the local system via a kernel device driver or a remote system using IPMI version 1.5 and 2.0. These functions include printing FRU information, LAN configuration, sensor readings and remote chassis power control. IPMI management of a local system interface requires a compatible IPMI kernel driver to be installed and configured. On Linux systems, this driver is called OpenIPMI and is included in standard distributions. On Solaris systems, this driver is called BMC and is included in Solaris 10. Management of a remote station requires the IPMI-over-LAN interface to be enabled and configured. Depending on the particular requirements of each system, it may be possible to enable the LAN interface using ipmitool over the system interface. Options -a Prompt for the remote server password. -A Specify an authentication type to use during IPMIv1.5 lan session activation. Supported types are NONE, PASSWORD, MD5, or OEM. -c Present output in CSV (comma separated variable) format. This is not available with all commands. -C The remote server authentication, integrity, and encryption algorithms to use for IPMIv2 lanplus connections. See table 22-19 in the IPMIv2 specification. The default is 3, which specifies RAKPHMAC-SHA1 authentication, HMAC-SHA1-96 integrity, and AES-CBC-128 encryption algorithms. -E The remote server password is specified by the environment variable IPMI_PASSWORD. -f Specifies a file containing the remote server password. If this option is absent, or if password_file is empty, the password will default to NULL. -h Get basic usage help from the command line. 264
