Ipmitool is a utility for managing and configuring devices that support
|
||
|
|
the "Intelligent Platform Management Interface". IPMI is an open
|
||
|
|
standard for monitoring, logging, recovery, inventory, and control of
|
||
|
|
hardware that is implemented independent of the main CPU, BIOS, and OS.
|
||
|
|
The service processor (or Baseboard Management Controller, BMC) is the
|
||
|
|
brain behind platform management and its primary purpose is to handle
|
||
|
|
the autonomous sensor monitoring and event logging features.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The ipmitool program provides a simple command-line interface to this
|
||
|
|
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.
