ipmidetectd – IPMI node detection monitoring daemon Synopsis ipmidetectd [OPTION…] Description The ipmidetectd daemon regularly sends out IPMI pings to determine if nodes have functioning IPMI interfaces or not. It is primarily used to determine those nodes in the cluster that are not functioning properly, allowing IPMI commands to be executed across the cluster faster…
ipmidetect – list detected and/or undetected IPMI interfaces in a cluster Synopsis ipmidetect [OPTION…] [NODES…] Description ipmidetect lists which IPMI nodes have been detected or undetected in a cluster. This information is provided by the libipmidetect(3) library and ipmidetectd(8) daemon. ipmidetect will output the status of each IPMI node configured with ipmidetectd(8) unless they are…
ipmiconsole – IPMI console utility Synopsis ipmiconsole [OPTION…] Description ipmiconsole is a Serial-over-LAN (SOL) console utility. It can be used to establish console sessions to remote machines using the IPMI 2.0 SOL protocol. Ipmiconsole communicates with a remote machine’s Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) to establish a console session. Before any SOL communication can take place,…
ipmi_port – a daemon to bind RMCP port 623 to prevent portmap from using it Synopsis ipmi_port [-bx] Description This ipmi_port service starts and binds port 623, then sleeps forever, so that the portmap service will not try to reuse port 623, which it otherwise might try to do. Since the IPMI firmware snoops the…
ipmi-sensors – display IPMI sensor information Synopsis ipmi-sensors [OPTION…] Description Ipmi-sensors displays current readings of sensors and sensor data repository (SDR) information. The default display outputs each sensor’s record id, sensor name, sensor type name, sensor reading (if appropriate), and the current sensor event. More verbose information can be found using the verbose options specified…
ipmi-sensors-config – configure sensors Synopsis ipmi-sensors-config [OPTION…] Description Ipmi-sensors-config is used to get and set sensor configuration parameters, such as thresholds and sensor events. This configuration tool is for advanced IPMI users and generally not-required for IPMI to function. Most IPMI users will not need to use this tool. For more general sensor reading and/or…
ipmi-sel – display SEL entries Synopsis ipmi-sel [OPTION…] Description Ipmi-sel is used to view and manage System Event Log (SEL) entries. SEL records store system event information and may be useful for debugging problems. Ipmi-sel does not inform the user if an event is particularly good or bad, just that the event occurred. Users may…
ipmi-raw – execute IPMI commands by hex values Synopsis ipmi-raw [OPTION…] [<lun> <netfn> COMMAND-HEX-BYTES…] Description Ipmi-raw is used to execute IPMI commands by hex values. Hex values may be input on the command line, a file via the –file option, or via stdin if neither of the previous are specified. Listed below are general IPMI…
ipmipower – IPMI power control utility Synopsis ipmipower [OPTION…] Description ipmipower allows users to remotely power on, off, cycle, hard reset, get a power status query, perform a pulse diagnostic interrupt, or initiate a soft-shutdown of the OS via ACPI through the IPMI over LAN protocol. When a power command (–on, –off, –cycle, –reset, –stat,…
ipmiping – send IPMI Get Authentication Capabilitiy request to network hosts Synopsis ipmiping [OPTION…] destination Description ipmiping uses the IPMI Get Channel Authentication Capabilities request datagram to elicit an IPMI Get Channel Authentication Capabilitiesl response from a remote host.
