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 v1.5
       and IPMI v2.0. 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 this driver is called OpenIPMI and it is  included  in
       standard  distributions.   On Solaris 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 <authtype>
              Specify an authentication type to  use  during  IPMIv1.5  lan  session  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 algorithms 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 variable 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 option 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 address.

       -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 specified.  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 lanplus 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! Specifying 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  expected  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 expected 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 system's power state as well as being able
       to gather certain platform information. 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 'management network'.

       Further it is strongly advised that you should not enable IPMI for remote  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 system.  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.

       event

              <predefined event number N>

                     Send a pre-defined test event to the System Event Log.  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 Specification.

                     Sensor Type - Indicates the Event Type or Class.

                     Sensor Num - Represents the 'sensor' within the management  controller  that
                     generated the Event Message.

                     Event  Dir/Type - This field is encoded with the event direction 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-defined  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 including ipmitool
                     sensor list may be used to obtain a list that includes the sensorid  strings
                     representing the sensors on a given system.

                     > ipmitool -I open event "PS 2T Fan Fault" list
                     Finding sensor PS 2T Fan Fault... ok

                       up         down

              <sensorid> <sensor state> [<direction>]

                     Generate  a custom event based on existing sensor information.  The optional
                     event direction can be either assert (the default) or deassert.

                     > ipmitool event "PS 2T Fan Fault" "State Asserted"
                     Finding sensor PS 2T Fan Fault... ok

                        0 | Pre-Init Time-stamp   | Fan PS 2T Fan Fault | State Desserted

       exec <filename>

              Execute ipmitool commands from filename.  Each line is  a  complete  command.   The
              syntax  of  the commands are defined by the COMMANDS section in this manpage.  Each
              line may have an optional comment at the end of the  line,  delimited  with  a  `#'
              symbol.

              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 Command, and finally for a  specific  command's
              sub-function  (see  Appendix  H  in the IPMI 2.0 Specification for a listing of any
              sub-function numbers that may be associated with a particular command).

              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 current 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  specified 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 information for all NetFns
                            for the specified LUN on either the current or the specified channel.

                     info [<channel H>] [<lun L> [ <netfn N> ]

                            This command will print out all  command  information  for  a  single
                            LUN/NetFn pair.

                     info [<channel H>] [<lun L> [ <netfn N> [<command C] ]]

                            This  prints  out  detailed,  human-readable  information showing the
                            support, configurable, and enabled bits for the specified command  on
                            the specified 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-functions are enabled.

                     describing the chassis, 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 specified 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 supported 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.  It replaces
                     the FRU data found at index in  the  specified  section  with  the  supplied
                     string.

                     fru id is the digit ID of the FRU (see output of 'fru print').

                     <section> is a string which refers to FRU Inventory Information
                            Storage Areas and may be refer to:

              NOTE: To determine on which  channel  the  LAN  interface  is  located,  issue  the
              `channel info number' command until you come across a valid 802.3 LAN channel.  For
              example:

              > ipmitool -I open channel info 1
              Channel 0x1 info:

                     auth <level,...> <type,...>

                            Set the valid  authtypes  for  a  given  auth level.
                            Levels: callback, user, operator, admin
                            Types: none, md2, md5, password, oem

                     cipher_privs <privlist>

                            Correlates cipher suite numbers with the maximum privilege level that
                            is allowed to use it.  In this way, cipher suites can  restricted  to
                            users   with   a   given  privilege  level,  so  that,  for  example,
                            administrators are required to  use  a  stronger  cipher  suite  than
                            normal users.

                            The  format  of  privlist is as follows.  Each character represents a
                            privilege level and the  character  position  identifies  the  cipher
                            suite  number.   For  example,  the first character represents cipher
                            suite 0, the second represents cipher suite 1, and so  on.   privlist
                            must be 15 characters in length.

                            Characters  used  in  privlist  and their associated privilege levels
                            are:

                            X    Cipher Suite Unused
                            c    CALLBACK
                            u    USER
                            o    OPERATOR
                            a    ADMIN
                            O    OEM

                            So, to set the maximum privilege for cipher suite 0 to USER and suite
                            1 to ADMIN, issue the following command:

                            > ipmitool -I interface lan set channel cipher_privs uaXXXXXXXXXXXXX

                     bad_pass_thresh <thresh_num> <1|0> <reset_interval> <lockout_interval>

                            Sets the Bad Password Threshold.

                            <thresh_num>  If  non-zero,  this  value  determines  the  number  of
                            sequential bad passwords that will be allowed to be entered  for  the
                            identified user before the user is automatically disabled from access
                            on the channel.

                            <1|0> 1 = generate a Session Audit sensor "Invalid password  disable"
                            event message.  0 = do not generate an event message when the user is
                            disabled.

                            <reset_interval> Attempt Count Reset Interval. The interval, in  tens
                            of  seconds, for which the accumulated count of bad password attempts
                            is retained before being automatically reset to zero.

                            <lockout_interval> User Lockout Interval. The interval,  in  tens  of
                            seconds,  that  the  user  will  remain disabled after being disabled
                            because the Bad Password Threshold number was reached.

              alert print [<channel>] [<alert destination>]

                     Print alert information for the  specified  channel  and  destination.   The

                            is a power or temperature value which must match the type of policy.

       pef

              info

                     This  command  will  query  the  BMC  and  print  information  about the PEF
                     supported features.

              status

                     This command prints the current PEF status (the last SEL entry processed  by
                     the BMC, etc).

              policy

                     This  command  lists  the  PEF  policy  table  entries.   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).

              policy set <fru id> <lockmask> <lock>

                     Set  FRU  activation  policy.   lockmask is 1 or 0 to indicate action on the
                     deactivation or activation locked bit respectively.   lock  is  1  or  0  to
                     set/clear locked bit.

              portstate set|getall|getgranted|getdenied <parameters>
                     Get or set various port states.  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 Buffer commands because it handles the
              message sequencing internally.

       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 Repository 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
                     interface or remote LAN.

              fill sensors

                     Create  the  SDR  Repository  for the current configuration.  Will perform a
                     'Clear SDR Repository' command so be careful.

              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 cannot be undone so  be
                     careful.

              list | elist

                     When  this  command is invoked without arguments, the entire 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 displayed.

                     last <count>

                            Displays the last count (most-recent) entries in the SEL.   If  count
                            is zero, all entries are displayed.

              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 automatically 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  Platform  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 command.

              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

                     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-Recoverable, 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.

                     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 responses.  This can be useful instead of
              running the full ipmitool 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  configuration  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.
                     Configuration parameter updates are automatically guarded with  the  updates
                     to the set-in-progress parameter.

                     Valid parameters and values are:

                     set-in-progress
                            set-complete set-in-progress commit-write

                            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 Serial Over LAN mode
                     should automatically cause this command to be sent to the BMC,  but  in  the
                     case  of  an unintentional exit from SOL mode, this command may be necessary
                     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 commands.  Without  any
                     command  string,  an interactive session is started in the service processor
                     command line environment.  If a command string  is  specified,  the  command
                     string is executed on the service processor and the connection is closed.

              led

       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 local 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 default this is 6230.

              ro|rw

                     Confiure SOL session as read-only or read-write.  Sessions are read-write by

                            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>

              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 request-response protocol delivered using UDP
       datagrams to port 623.

       The LAN interface is an authentication multi-session connection; messages 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 administrator 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 connect without authentication.  If you specify a password
       it will use  MD5  authentication  if  supported  by  the  BMC  and  straight  password/key
       otherwise, 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 requires RMCP+, so the
       ipmitool sol activate command requires the use of the lanplus interface.

       RMCP+ session establishment uses  a  symmetric  challenge-response  protocol  called  RAKP
       (Remote Authenticated Key-Exchange Protocol) which allows the negotiation of many options.
       ipmitool does not yet allow the user to specify the value of every option,  defaulting  to
       the  most  obvious  settings marked as required in the v2.0 specification.  Authentication
       and integrity HMACS are produced with SHA1, and encryption is performed 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 required 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>] <command>

       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 encryption algorithms
       to use for for lanplus session based  on  the  cipher  suite  ID  found  in  the  IPMIv2.0
       specification   in   table   22-19.   The  default  cipher  suite  is  3  which  specifies
       RAKP-HMAC-SHA1  authentication,  HMAC-SHA1-96  integrity,   and   AES-CBC-128   encryption
       algorithms.

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>
