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.
