These func- tions include printing FRU information, LAN configuration, sensor read- ings, 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 this driver is called OpenIPMI and it is included in standard distributions. On So- laris this driver is called BMC and is included in Solaris 10. Manage- ment of a remote station requires the IPMI-over-LAN interface to be en- abled 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 <authtype> Specify an authentication type to use during IPMIv1.5 lan ses- sion activation. Supported types are NONE, PASSWORD, MD2, MD5, or OEM. -b <channel> Set destination channel for bridged request. -B <channel> Set transit channel for bridged request (dual bridge). -b <channel> Set destination channel for bridged request. -B <channel> Set transit channel for bridged request. (dual bridge) -c Present output in CSV (comma separated variable) format. This is not available with all commands. -C <ciphersuite> The remote server authentication, integrity, and encryption al- gorithms to use for IPMIv2.0 lanplus connections. See table 22-19 in the IPMIv2.0 specification. The default is 3 which specifies RAKP-HMAC-SHA1 authentication, HMAC-SHA1-96 integrity, and AES-CBC-128 encryption algorithms. -d N Use device number N to specify the /dev/ipmiN (or /dev/ipmi/N or /dev/ipmidev/N) device to use for in-band BMC communication. Used to target a specific BMC on a multi-node, multi-BMC system through the ipmi device driver interface. Default is 0. -e <sol_escape_char> Use supplied character for SOL session escape character. The default is to use ~ but this can conflict with ssh sessions. -E The remote server password is specified by the environment vari- able IPMI_PASSWORD or IPMITOOL_PASSWORD. The IPMITOOL_PASSWORD takes precedence. -f <password_file> 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. -g Deprecated. Use: -o intelplus -h Get basic usage help from the command line. -H <address> Remote server address, can be IP address or hostname. This op- tion is required for lan and lanplus interfaces. -I <interface> Selects IPMI interface to use. Supported interfaces that are compiled in are visible in the usage help output. -k <key> Use supplied Kg key for IPMIv2.0 authentication. The default is not to use any Kg key. -K Read Kg key from IPMI_KGKEY environment variable. -l <lun> Set destination lun for raw commands. -L <privlvl> Force session privilege level. Can be CALLBACK, USER, OPERATOR, ADMINISTRATOR. Default is ADMINISTRATOR. This value is ignored and always set to ADMINISTRATOR when combined with -t target ad- dress. -m <local_address> Set the local IPMB address. The local address defaults to 0x20 or is auto discovered on PICMG platforms when -m is not speci- fied. There should be no need to change the local address for normal operation. -N <sec> Specify nr. of seconds between retransmissions of lan/lanplus messages. Defaults are 2 seconds for lan and 1 second for lan- plus interfaces. Command raw uses fixed value of 15 seconds. Command sol uses fixed value of 1 second. -o <oemtype> Select OEM type to support. This usually involves minor hacks in place in the code to work around quirks in various BMCs from various manufacturers. Use -o list to see a list of current supported OEM types. -O <sel oem> Open selected file and read OEM SEL event descriptions to be used during SEL listings. See examples in contrib dir for file format. -p <port> Remote server UDP port to connect to. Default is 623. -P <password> Remote server password is specified on the command line. If supported it will be obscured in the process list. Note! Speci- fying the password as a command line option is not recommended. -R <count> Set the number of retries for lan/lanplus interface (default=4). Command raw uses fixed value of one try (no retries). Command hpm uses fixed value of 10 retries. -s Deprecated. Use: -o supermicro -S <sdr_cache_file> Use local file for remote SDR cache. Using a local SDR cache can drastically increase performance for commands that require knowledge of the entire SDR to perform their function. Local SDR cache from a remote system can be created with the sdr dump command. -t <target_address> Bridge IPMI requests to the remote target address. Default is 32. The -L privlvl option is always ignored and value set to ADMINISTRATOR. -T <address> Set transit address for bridge request (dual bridge). -T <transmit_address> Set transit address for bridge request. (dual bridge) -U <username> Remote server username, default is NULL user. -v Increase verbose output level. This option may be specified multiple times to increase the level of debug output. If given three times you will get hexdumps of all incoming and outgoing packets. Using it five times provides details on request and ex- pected reply procesing. The hpm commands targetcap compprop abort upgstatus rollback rollbackstatus selftestresult increases the verbosity level -V Display version information. -y <hex key> Use supplied Kg key for IPMIv2.0 authentication. The key is ex- pected in hexadecimal format and can be used to specify keys with non-printable characters. E.g. '-k PASSWORD' and '-y 50415353574F5244' are equivalent. The default is not to use any Kg key. -Y Prompt for the Kg key for IPMIv2.0 authentication. -z <size> Change Size of Communication Channel. (OEM) If no password method is specified then ipmitool will prompt the user for a password. If no password is entered at the prompt, the remote server password will default to NULL. SECURITY There are several security issues be be considered before enabling the IPMI LAN interface. A remote station has the ability to control a sys- tem's power state as well as being able to gather certain platform in- formation. To reduce vulnerability it is strongly advised that the IPMI LAN interface only be enabled in 'trusted' environments where system security is not an issue or where there is a dedicated secure 'manage- ment network'. Further it is strongly advised that you should not enable IPMI for re- mote access without setting a password, and that that password should not be the same as any other password on that system. When an IPMI password is changed on a remote machine with the IPMIv1.5 lan interface the new password is sent across the network as clear text. This could be observed and then used to attack the remote sys- tem. It is thus recommended that IPMI password management only be done over IPMIv2.0 lanplus interface or the system interface on the local station. For IPMI v1.5, the maximum password length is 16 characters. Passwords longer than 16 characters will be truncated. For IPMI v2.0, the maximum password length is 20 characters; longer passwords are truncated. COMMANDS help This can be used to get command-line help on ipmitool com- mands. It may also be placed at the end of commands to get op- tion usage help. ipmitool help Commands: bmc Deprecated.

The following events are included as a means to test the functionality of the System Event Log component of the BMC (an entry will be added each time the event N command is executed). Currently supported values for N are: 1 Temperature: Upper Critical: Going High 2 Voltage Threshold: Lower Critical: Going Low 3 Memory: Correctable ECC NOTE: These pre-defined events will likely not produce "accurate" SEL records for a particular system because they will not be correctly tied to a valid sensor number, but they are sufficient to verify correct operation of the SEL. file <filename> Event log records specified in <filename> will be added to the System Event Log. The format of each line in the file is as follows: <{EvM Revision} {Sensor Type} {Sensor Num} {Event Dir/Type} {Event Data 0} {Event Data 1} {Event Data 2}>[# COMMENT] e.g.: 0x4 0x2 0x60 0x1 0x52 0x0 0x0 # Voltage threshold: Lower Critical: Going Low EvM Revision - The "Event Message Revision" is 0x04 for messages that comply with the IPMI 2.0 Specification and 0x03 for messages that comply with the IPMI 1.0 Specifi- cation. Sensor Type - Indicates the Event Type or Class. Sensor Num - Represents the 'sensor' within the manage- ment controller that generated the Event Message. Event Dir/Type - This field is encoded with the event di- rection as the high bit (bit 7) and the event type as the low 7 bits. Event direction is 0 for an assertion event and 1 for a deassertion event. See the IPMI 2.0 specification for further details on the definitions for each field. <sensorid> <list> Get a list of all the possible Sensor States and pre-de- fined Sensor State Shortcuts available for a particular sensor. sensorid is the character string representation of the sensor and must be enclosed in double quotes if it includes white space. Several different commands includ- ing ipmitool sensor list may be used to obtain a list that includes the sensorid strings representing the sen- sors on a given system. > ipmitool -I open event "PS 2T Fan Fault" list Finding sensor PS 2T Fan Fault... ok Sensor States: State Deasserted State Asserted Sensor State Shortcuts: present absent assert deassert limit nolimit fail nofail yes no on off up down <sensorid> <sensor state> [<direction>] Generate a custom event based on existing sensor informa- tion.

Each line is a com- plete command. The syntax of the commands are defined by the COMMANDS section in this manpage. Each line may have an op- tional comment at the end of the line, delimited with a `#' sym- bol. e.g., a command file with two lines: sdr list # get a list of sdr records sel list # get a list of sel records firewall This command supports the Firmware Firewall capability. It may be used to add or remove security-based restrictions on certain commands/command sub-functions or to list the current firmware firewall restrictions set on any commands. For each firmware firewall command listed below, parameters may be included to cause the command to be executed with increasing granularity on a specific LUN, for a specific NetFn, for a specific IPMI Com- mand, and finally for a specific command's sub-function (see Ap- pendix H in the IPMI 2.0 Specification for a listing of any sub- function numbers that may be associated with a particular com- mand). Parameter syntax and dependencies are as follows: [<channel H>] [<lun L> [ <netfn N> [<command C [<subfn S>]]]] Note that if "netfn <N>" is specified, then "lun <L>" must also be specified; if "command <C>" is specified, then "netfn <N>" (and therefore "lun <L>") must also be specified, and so forth. "channel <H>" is an optional and standalone parameter. If not specified, the requested operation will be performed on the cur- rent channel. Note that command support may vary from channel to channel. Firmware firewall commands: info [<Parms as described above>] List firmware firewall information for the specified LUN, NetFn, and Command (if supplied) on the current or speci- fied channel. Listed information includes the support, configurable, and enabled bits for the specified command or commands. Some usage examples: info [<channel H>] [<lun L>] This command will list firmware firewall informa- tion for all NetFns for the specified LUN on ei- ther the current or the specified channel. info [<channel H>] [<lun L> [ <netfn N> ] This command will print out all command informa- tion for a single LUN/NetFn pair. info [<channel H>] [<lun L> [ <netfn N> [<command C] ]] This prints out detailed, human-readable informa- tion showing the support, configurable, and en- abled bits for the specified command on the speci- fied LUN/NetFn pair. Information will be printed about each of the command subfunctions. info [<channel H>] [<lun L> [ <netfn N> [<command C [<subfn S>]]]] Print out information for a specific sub-function. enable [<Parms as described above>] This command is used to enable commands for a given NetFn/LUN combination on the specified channel. disable [<Parms as described above>] [force] This command is used to disable commands for a given NetFn/LUN combination on the specified channel. Great care should be taken if using the "force" option so as not to disable the "Set Command Enables" command. reset [<Parms as described above>] This command may be used to reset the firmware firewall back to a state where all commands and command sub-func- tions are enabled. fru print Read all Field Replaceable Unit (FRU) inventory data and extract such information as serial number, part num- ber, asset tags, and short strings describing the chas- sis, board, or product. read <fru id> <fru file> fru id is the digit ID of the FRU (see output of 'fru print'). fru file is the absolute pathname of a file in which to dump the binary FRU data pertaining to the spec- ified FRU entity. write <fru id> <fru file> fru id is the digit ID of the FRU (see output of 'fru print'). fru file is the absolute pathname of a file from which to pull the binary FRU data before uploading it to the specified FRU. upgEkey <fru id> <fru file> Update a multirecord FRU location. fru id is the digit ID of the FRU (see output of 'fru print'). fru file is the absolute pathname of a file from which to pull the binary FRU data to upload into the specified multirecord FRU entity. edit <fru id> This command provides interactive editing of some sup- ported records, namely PICMG Carrier Activation Record. fru id is the digit ID of the FRU (see output of 'fru print'); default is 0. edit <fru id> field <section> <index> <string> This command may be used to set a field string to a new value.

Each policy entry describes an alert destination. A policy set is a collection of table entries. PEF alert actions reference policy sets. list This command lists the PEF table entries. Each PEF entry relates a sensor event to an action. When PEF is active, each platform event causes the BMC to scan this table for entries matching the event, and possible actions to be taken. Actions are performed in priority order (higher criticality first). picmg <properties> Run a PICMG/ATA extended command. Get PICMG properties may be used to obtain and print Extension major version information, PICMG identifier, FRU Device ID and Max FRU Device ID. addrinfo Get address information.

See usage for parameter details. power <chassis power command> Shortcut to the chassis power commands. See the chassis power commands for usage information. raw <netfn> <cmd> [<data>] This will allow you to execute raw IPMI commands. For example to query the POH counter with a raw command: > ipmitool -v raw 0x0 0xf RAW REQ (netfn=0x0 cmd=0xf data_len=0) RAW RSP (5 bytes) 3c 72 0c 00 00 Note that the OpenIPMI driver provided by the Linux kernel will reject the Get Message, Send Message and Read Event Message Buf- fer commands because it handles the message sequencing inter- nally. sdr get <id> ... [<id>] Prints information for sensor data records specified by sensor id. info This command will query the BMC for Sensor Data Record (SDR) Repository information. type [<sensor type>] This command will display all records from the SDR Repos- itory of a specific type. Run with type list (or simply with no type) to see the list of available types. For example to query for all Temperature sensors: > ipmitool sdr type Temperature Baseboard Temp | 30h | ok | 7.1 | 28 degrees C FntPnl Amb Temp | 32h | ok | 12.1 | 24 degrees C Processor1 Temp | 98h | ok | 3.1 | 57 degrees C Processor2 Temp | 99h | ok | 3.2 | 53 degrees C list | elist [<all|full|compact|event|mcloc|fru|generic>] This command will read the Sensor Data Records (SDR) and extract sensor information of a given type, then query each sensor and print its name, reading, and status. If invoked as elist then it will also print sensor number, entity id and instance, and asserted discrete states. The default output will only display full and compact sensor types, to see all sensors use the all type with this command. Valid types are: all All SDR records (Sensor and Locator) full Full Sensor Record compact Compact Sensor Record event Event-Only Sensor Record mcloc Management Controller Locator Record fru FRU Locator Record generic Generic SDR records entity <id>[.<instance>] Displays all sensors associated with an entity. Get a list of valid entity ids on the target system by issuing the sdr elist command. A list of all entity ids can be found in the IPMI specifications. dump <file> Dumps raw SDR data to a file. This data file can then be used as a local SDR cache of the remote managed system with the -S _file_ option on the ipmitool command line. This can greatly improve performance over system inter- face or remote LAN. fill sensors Create the SDR Repository for the current configuration. Will perform a 'Clear SDR Repository' command so be care- ful. fill file <filename> Fill the SDR Repository using records stored in a binary data file. Will perform a 'Clear SDR Repository' command so be careful. sel NOTE: System Event Log (SEL) entry-times are displayed as `Pre-Init Time-stamp' if the SEL clock needs to be set. Ensure that the SEL clock is accurate by invoking the sel time get and sel time set _time string_ commands. info This command will query the BMC for information about the System Event Log (SEL) and its contents. clear This command will clear the contents of the SEL. It can- not be undone so be careful. list | elist When this command is invoked without arguments, the en- tire contents of the System Event Log are displayed. If invoked as elist (extended list) it will also use the Sensor Data Record entries to display the sensor ID for the sensor that caused each event. Note this can take a long time over the system interface. <count> | first <count> Displays the first count (least-recent) entries in the SEL. If count is zero, all entries are dis- played. last <count> Displays the last count (most-recent) entries in the SEL. If count is zero, all entries are dis- played. delete <SEL Record ID> ... <SEL Record ID> Delete one or more SEL event records. add <filename ID> Read event entries from a file and add them to the SEL. New SEL entries area added onto the SEL after the last record in the SEL. Record added is of type 2 and is au- tomatically timestamped. get <SEL Record ID> Print information on the specified SEL Record entry. save <file> Save SEL records to a text file that can be fed back into the event file ipmitool command. This can be useful for testing Event generation by building an appropriate Plat- form Event Message file based on existing events. Please see the available help for the 'event file ...' command for a description of the format of this file. writeraw <file> Save SEL records to a file in raw, binary format. This file can be fed back to the sel readraw ipmitool command for viewing. readraw <file> Read and display SEL records from a binary file. Such a file can be created using the sel writeraw ipmitool com- mand. time get Displays the SEL clock's current time. set <time string> Sets the SEL clock. Future SEL entries will use the time set by this command. <time string> is of the form "MM/DD/YYYY HH:MM:SS". Note that hours are in 24-hour form. It is recommended that the SEL be cleared before setting the time. sensor list Lists sensors and thresholds in a wide table format. get <id> ... [<id>] Prints information for sensors specified by name. thresh <id> <threshold> <setting> This allows you to set a particular sensor threshold value. The sensor is specified by name. Valid thresholds are: unr Upper Non-Recoverable ucr Upper Critical unc Upper Non-Critical lnc Lower Non-Critical lcr Lower Critical lnr Lower Non-Recoverable thresh <id> lower <lnr> <lcr> <lnc> This allows you to set all lower thresholds for a sensor at the same time. The sensor is specified by name and the thresholds are listed in order of Lower Non-Recover- able, Lower Critical, and Lower Non-Critical. thresh <id> upper <unc> <ucr> <unr> This allows you to set all upper thresholds for a sensor at the same time. The sensor is specified by name and the thresholds are listed in order of Upper Non-Critical, Upper Critical, and Upper Non-Recoverable. session info <active|all|id 0xnnnnnnnn|handle 0xnn> Get information about the specified session(s). You may identify sessions by their id, by their handle number, by their active status, or by using the keyword `all' to specify all sessions. set hostname <host> Session hostname. username <user> Session username. password <pass> Session password. privlvl <level> Session privilege level force. authtype <type> Authentication type force. localaddr <addr> Local IPMB address. targetaddr <addr> Remote target IPMB address. port <port> Remote RMCP port. csv [level] Enable output in comma separated format. Affects follow- ing commands: user, channel, isol, sunoem, sol, sensor, sdr, sel, session. verbose [verbose] Verbosity level. shell This command will launch an interactive shell which you can use to send multiple ipmitool commands to a BMC and see the re- sponses. This can be useful instead of running the full ipmi- tool command each time. Some commands will make use of a Sensor Data Record cache and you will see marked improvement in speed if these commands are able to reuse the same cache in a shell session. LAN sessions will send a periodic keepalive command to keep the IPMI session from timing out. sol info [<channel number>] Retrieve information about the Serial-Over-LAN configura- tion on the specified channel. If no channel is given, it will display SOL configuration data for the currently used channel. payload <enable | disable | status> <channel number> <userid> Enable, disable or show status of SOL payload for the user on the specified channel. set <parameter> <value> [<channel>] Configure parameters for Serial Over Lan. If no channel is given, it will display SOL configuration data for the currently used channel.

Valid parameters and values are: set-in-progress set-complete set-in-progress commit-write enabled true false force-encryption true false force-authentication true false privilege-level user operator admin oem character-accumulate-level Decimal number given in 5 milliseconds increments character-send-threshold Decimal number retry-count Decimal number. 0 indicates no retries after packet is transmitted. retry-interval Decimal number in 10 millisecond increments. 0 indicates that retries should be sent back to back. non-volatile-bit-rate serial, 19.2, 38.4, 57.6, 115.2. Setting this value to serial indicates that the BMC should use the setting used by the IPMI over serial channel. volatile-bit-rate serial, 19.2, 38.4, 57.6, 115.2. Setting this value to serial indicates that the BMC should use the setting used by the IPMI over serial channel. activate [usesolkeepalive | nokeepalive] [instance=_number_] Causes ipmitool to enter Serial Over LAN mode, and is only available when using the lanplus interface. An RMCP+ connection is made to the BMC, the terminal is set to raw mode, and user input is sent to the serial console on the remote server. On exit, the the SOL payload mode is deactivated and the terminal is reset to its original settings. If the instance is given, it will activate using the given instance number. The default is 1. Special escape sequences are provided to control the SOL session: ~. Terminate connection ~^Z Suspend ipmitool ~^X Suspend ipmitool, but don't restore tty on restart ~B Send break ~~ Send the escape character by typing it twice ~? Print the supported escape sequences Note that escapes are only recognized immediately after newline. deactivate [instance=_number_] Deactivates Serial Over LAN mode on the BMC. Exiting Se- rial Over LAN mode should automatically cause this com- mand to be sent to the BMC, but in the case of an unin- tentional exit from SOL mode, this command may be neces- sary to reset the state of the BMC. If the instance is given, it will deactivate the given instance number. The default is 1. spd <i2cbus> <i2caddr> [<channel>] [<axread>] This command may be used to read SPD (Serial Presence Detect) data using the I2C Master Write-Read IPMI command. sunoem cli [<command string> ...] Execute the service processor command line interface com- mands. Without any command string, an interactive ses- sion is started in the service processor command line en- vironment. If a command string is specified, the command string is executed on the service processor and the con- nection is closed. led These commands provide a way to get and set the status of LEDs on a Sun Microsystems server. Use 'sdr list generic' to get a list of devices that are controllable LEDs. The ledtype parameter is optional and not neces- sary to provide on the command line unless it is required by hardware. get <sensorid> [<ledtype>] Get status of a particular LED described by a Generic Device Locator record in the SDR. A sen- sorid of all will get the status of all available LEDS. set <sensorid> <ledmode> [<ledtype>] Set status of a particular LED described by a Generic Device Locator record in the SDR.

File identifiers: SSH_PUBKEYS DIAG_PASSED DIAG_FAILED DIAG_END_TIME DIAG_INVENTORY DIAG_TEST_LOG DIAG_START_TIME DIAG_UEFI_LOG DIAG_TEST_LOG DIAG_LAST_LOG DIAG_LAST_CMD getbehavior <feature identifier> This command will test if various ILOM features are en- abled. Feature identifiers: SUPPORTS_SIGNED_PACKAGES REQUIRES_SIGNED_PACKAGES tsol This command allows Serial-over-LAN sessions to be established with Tyan IPMIv1.5 SMDC such as the M3289 or M3290. The default command run with no arguments will establish default SOL session back to local IP address. Optional arguments may be supplied in any order. _ipaddr_ Send receiver IP address to SMDC which it will use to send serial traffic to. By default this detects the lo- cal IP address and establishes two-way session. Format of ipaddr is XX.XX.XX.XX port=NUM Configure UDP port to receive serial traffic on. By de- fault this is 6230. ro|rw Confiure SOL session as read-only or read-write. Ses- sions are read-write by default. user summary Displays a summary of userid information, including maxi- mum number of userids, the number of enabled users, and the number of fixed names defined. list Displays a list of user information for all defined userids. set name <userid> <username> Sets the username associated with the given userid. password <userid> [<password>] Sets the password for the given userid. If no password is given, the password is cleared (set to the NULL password). Be careful when removing passwords from administrator-level accounts. disable <userid> Disables access to the BMC by the given userid. enable <userid> Enables access to the BMC by the given userid. priv <userid> <privilege level> [<channel number>] Set user privilege level on the specified channel. If the channel is not specified, the current channel will be used. test <userid> <16|20> [<password>] Determine whether a password has been stored as 16 or 20 bytes. OPEN INTERFACE The ipmitool open interface utilizes the OpenIPMI kernel device driver. This driver is present in all modern 2.4 and all 2.6 kernels and it should be present in recent Linux distribution kernels. There are also IPMI driver kernel patches for different kernel versions available from the OpenIPMI homepage. The required kernel modules is different for 2.4 and 2.6 kernels. The following kernel modules must be loaded on a 2.4-based kernel in order for ipmitool to work: ipmi_msghandler Incoming and outgoing message handler for IPMI interfaces. ipmi_kcs_drv An IPMI Keyboard Controller Style (KCS) interface driver for the message handler. ipmi_devintf Linux character device interface for the message handler. The following kernel modules must be loaded on a 2.6-based kernel in order for ipmitool to work: ipmi_msghandler Incoming and outgoing message handler for IPMI interfaces. ipmi_si An IPMI system interface driver for the message handler. This module supports various IPMI system interfaces such as KCS, BT, SMIC, and even SMBus in 2.6 kernels. ipmi_devintf Linux character device interface for the message handler. Once the required modules are loaded there will be a dynamic character device entry that must exist at /dev/ipmi0. For systems that use devfs or udev this will appear at /dev/ipmi/0. To create the device node first determine what dynamic major number it was assigned by the kernel by looking in /proc/devices and checking for the ipmidev entry. Usually if this is the first dynamic device it will be major number 254 and the minor number for the first system interface is 0 so you would create the device entry with: mknod /dev/ipmi0 c 254 0 ipmitool includes some sample initialization scripts that can perform this task automatically at start-up. In order to have ipmitool use the OpenIPMI device interface you can specify it on the command line: ipmitool -I open <command> BMC INTERFACE The ipmitool bmc interface utilizes the bmc device driver as provided by Solaris 10 and higher. In order to force ipmitool to make use of this interface you can specify it on the command line: ipmitool -I bmc <command> The following files are associated with the bmc driver: /platform/i86pc/kernel/drv/bmc 32-bit ELF kernel module for the bmc driver. /platform/i86pc/kernel/drv/amd64/bmc 64-bit ELF kernel module for the bmc driver. /dev/bmc Character device node used to communicate with the bmc driver. LIPMI INTERFACE The ipmitool lipmi interface uses the Solaris 9 IPMI kernel device driver. It has been superceeded by the bmc interface on Solaris 10. You can tell ipmitool to use this interface by specifying it on the command line. ipmitool -I lipmi <expression> LAN INTERFACE The ipmitool lan interface communicates with the BMC over an Ethernet LAN connection using UDP under IPv4. UDP datagrams are formatted to contain IPMI request/response messages with a IPMI session headers and RMCP headers. IPMI-over-LAN uses version 1 of the Remote Management Control Protocol (RMCP) to support pre-OS and OS-absent management. RMCP is a re- quest-response protocol delivered using UDP datagrams to port 623. The LAN interface is an authentication multi-session connection; mes- sages delivered to the BMC can (and should) be authenticated with a challenge/response protocol with either straight password/key or MD5 message-digest algorithm. ipmitool will attempt to connect with admin- istrator privilege level as this is required to perform chassis power functions. You can tell ipmitool to use the lan interface with the -I lan option: ipmitool -I lan -H <hostname> [-U <username>] [-P <password>] <command> A hostname must be given on the command line in order to use the lan interface with ipmitool. The password field is optional; if you do not provide a password on the command line, ipmitool will attempt to con- nect without authentication. If you specify a password it will use MD5 authentication if supported by the BMC and straight password/key other- wise, unless overridden with a command line option. LANPLUS INTERFACE Like the lan interface, the lanplus interface communicates with the BMC over an Ethernet LAN connection using UDP under IPv4. The difference is that the lanplus interface uses the RMCP+ protocol as described in the IPMI v2.0 specification. RMCP+ allows for improved authentication and data integrity checks, as well as encryption and the ability to carry multiple types of payloads. Generic Serial Over LAN support re- quires RMCP+, so the ipmitool sol activate command requires the use of the lanplus interface. RMCP+ session establishment uses a symmetric challenge-response proto- col called RAKP (Remote Authenticated Key-Exchange Protocol) which al- lows the negotiation of many options. ipmitool does not yet allow the user to specify the value of every option, defaulting to the most obvi- ous settings marked as required in the v2.0 specification. Authentica- tion and integrity HMACS are produced with SHA1, and encryption is per- formed with AES-CBC-128. Role-level logins are not yet supported. ipmitool must be linked with the OpenSSL library in order to perform the encryption functions and support the lanplus interface. If the re- quired packages are not found it will not be compiled in and supported. You can tell ipmitool to use the lanplus interface with the -I lanplus option: ipmitool -I lanplus -H <hostname> [-U <username>] [-P <password>] <com- mand> A hostname must be given on the command line in order to use the lan interface with ipmitool. With the exception of the -A and -C options the rest of the command line options are identical to those available for the lan interface. The -C option allows you specify the authentication, integrity, and en- cryption algorithms to use for for lanplus session based on the cipher suite ID found in the IPMIv2.0 specification in table 22-19. The de- fault cipher suite is 3 which specifies RAKP-HMAC-SHA1 authentication, HMAC-SHA1-96 integrity, and AES-CBC-128 encryption algorightms. FREE INTERFACE The ipmitool free interface utilizes the FreeIPMI libfreeipmi drivers. You can tell ipmitool to use the FreeIPMI interface with the -I option: ipmitool -I free <command> IMB INTERFACE The ipmitool imb interface supports the Intel IMB (Intel Inter-module Bus) Interface through the /dev/imb device. You can tell ipmitool to use the IMB interface with the -I option: ipmitool -I imb <command> EXAMPLES Example 1: Listing remote sensors > ipmitool -I lan -H 1.2.3.4 -f passfile sdr list Baseboard 1.25V | 1.24 Volts | ok Baseboard 2.5V | 2.49 Volts | ok Baseboard 3.3V | 3.32 Volts | ok Example 2: Displaying status of a remote sensor > ipmitool -I lan -H 1.2.3.4 -f passfile sensor get "Baseboard 1.25V" Locating sensor record...
