NAME

       ipmi-oem - IPMI OEM utility

SYNOPSIS

       ipmi-oem [OPTION...] <OEMID> <OEMCOMMAND> [OEMOPTION...]

DESCRIPTION

       Ipmi-oem is used to execute OEM specific IPMI commands. It is intended to provide a better
       user interface for OEM specific IPMI commands rather than using ipmi-raw(8).   Please  see
       SUPPORTED OEM IDS and COMMANDS below for a list of supported OEM specific IPMI commands. A
       list of supported OEM specific commands may also be generated  using  the  --list  option.
       There  are  no  guarantees  that  the  below  OEM  commands  will  work  on any particular
       motherboard. OEM extensions may or may not exist on particular hardware  revisions  and/or
       firmware revisions of motherboards. The extensions may or may not function for other lines
       of motherboards from the same manufacturer.

       Listed  below  are  general  IPMI  options,  tool  specific  options,   trouble   shooting
       information,   workaround   information,   examples,  and  known  issues.  For  a  general
       introduction to FreeIPMI please see freeipmi(7).

GENERAL OPTIONS

       The following options are general options for configuring IPMI communication and executing
       general tool commands.

       -D IPMIDRIVER, --driver-type=IPMIDRIVER
              Specify  the  driver type to use instead of doing an auto selection.  The currently
              available outofband drivers are LAN and LAN_2_0, which perform IPMI  1.5  and  IPMI
              2.0  respectively.  The currently available inband drivers are KCS, SSIF, OPENIPMI,
              SUNBMC, and INTELDCMI.

       --disable-auto-probe
              Do not probe in-band IPMI devices for default settings.

       --driver-address=DRIVER-ADDRESS
              Specify the in-band driver address to be used instead of the probed value.  DRIVER-
              ADDRESS should be prefixed with "0x" for a hex value and '0' for an octal value.

       --driver-device=DEVICE
              Specify the in-band driver device path to be used instead of the probed path.

       --register-spacing=REGISTER-SPACING
              Specify  the  in-band driver register spacing instead of the probed value. Argument
              is in bytes (i.e. 32bit register spacing = 4)

       --target-channel-number=CHANNEL-NUMBER
              Specify the in-band driver target channel number to send IPMI requests to.

       --target-slave-address=SLAVE-ADDRESS
              Specify the in-band driver target slave number to send IPMI requests to.

       -h IPMIHOST1,IPMIHOST2,..., --hostname=IPMIHOST1[:PORT],IPMIHOST2[:PORT],...
              Specify the remote host(s) to communicate with. Multiple hostnames may be separated
              by  comma  or  may be specified in a range format; see HOSTRANGED SUPPORT below. An
              optional port can be specified  with  each  host,  which  may  be  useful  in  port
              forwarding or similar situations.

       -u USERNAME, --username=USERNAME
              Specify  the  username  to  use  when  authenticating with the remote host.  If not
              specified, a null (i.e. anonymous) username is assumed. The required user privilege
              will depend on the oem commands executed.

       -p PASSWORD, --password=PASSWORD
              Specify  the  password  to  use  when authenticationg with the remote host.  If not
              specified, a null password is assumed. Maximum password length is 16 for  IPMI  1.5
              and 20 for IPMI 2.0.

       -P, --password-prompt
              Prompt for password to avoid possibility of listing it in process lists.

       -k K_G, --k-g=K_G
              Specify  the  K_g  BMC key to use when authenticating with the remote host for IPMI
              2.0. If not specified, a null key is assumed. To input the key in hexadecimal form,
              prefix the string with '0x'. E.g., the key 'abc' can be entered with the either the
              string 'abc' or the string '0x616263'

       -K, --k-g-prompt
              Prompt for k-g to avoid possibility of listing it in process lists.

       --session-timeout=MILLISECONDS
              Specify the session timeout in milliseconds. Defaults  to  20000  milliseconds  (20
              seconds) if not specified.

       --retransmission-timeout=MILLISECONDS
              Specify  the  packet  retransmission  timeout  in  milliseconds.  Defaults  to 1000
              milliseconds (1 second) if not specified.  The  retransmission  timeout  cannot  be
              larger than the session timeout.

       -a AUTHENTICATION-TYPE, --authentication-type=AUTHENTICATION-TYPE
              Specify   the  IPMI  1.5  authentication  type  to  use.  The  currently  available
              authentication types are NONE, STRAIGHT_PASSWORD_KEY, MD2, and MD5. Defaults to MD5
              if not specified.

       -I CIPHER-SUITE-ID, --cipher-suite-id=CIPHER-SUITE-ID
              Specify  the  IPMI 2.0 cipher suite ID to use. The Cipher Suite ID identifies a set
              of authentication, integrity, and confidentiality algorithms to use  for  IPMI  2.0
              communication.  The  authentication  algorithm  identifies the algorithm to use for
              session setup, the integrity algorithm identifies the algorithm to use for  session
              packet  signatures,  and  the confidentiality algorithm identifies the algorithm to
              use for payload encryption. Defaults to cipher suite ID 3  if  not  specified.  The
              following cipher suite ids are currently supported:

              0  -  Authentication  Algorithm = None; Integrity Algorithm = None; Confidentiality
              Algorithm = None

              1  -  Authentication  Algorithm  =   HMAC-SHA1;   Integrity   Algorithm   =   None;
              Confidentiality Algorithm = None

              2  -  Authentication  Algorithm  =  HMAC-SHA1;  Integrity Algorithm = HMAC-SHA1-96;
              Confidentiality Algorithm = None

              3 - Authentication Algorithm  =  HMAC-SHA1;  Integrity  Algorithm  =  HMAC-SHA1-96;
              Confidentiality Algorithm = AES-CBC-128

              6   -   Authentication   Algorithm   =   HMAC-MD5;   Integrity  Algorithm  =  None;
              Confidentiality Algorithm = None

              7 - Authentication  Algorithm  =  HMAC-MD5;  Integrity  Algorithm  =  HMAC-MD5-128;
              Confidentiality Algorithm = None

              8  -  Authentication  Algorithm  =  HMAC-MD5;  Integrity  Algorithm = HMAC-MD5-128;
              Confidentiality Algorithm = AES-CBC-128

              11  -  Authentication  Algorithm  =  HMAC-MD5;  Integrity  Algorithm   =   MD5-128;
              Confidentiality Algorithm = None

              12   -   Authentication  Algorithm  =  HMAC-MD5;  Integrity  Algorithm  =  MD5-128;
              Confidentiality Algorithm = AES-CBC-128

              15  -  Authentication  Algorithm  =  HMAC-SHA256;  Integrity  Algorithm   =   None;
              Confidentiality Algorithm = None

              16 - Authentication Algorithm = HMAC-SHA256; Integrity Algorithm = HMAC_SHA256_128;
              Confidentiality Algorithm = None

              17 - Authentication Algorithm = HMAC-SHA256; Integrity Algorithm = HMAC_SHA256_128;
              Confidentiality Algorithm = AES-CBC-128

       -l PRIVILEGE-LEVEL, --privilege-level=PRIVILEGE-LEVEL
              Specify  the  privilege  level to be used. The currently available privilege levels
              are USER, OPERATOR, and ADMIN. Defaults to ADMIN if not specified.

       --config-file=FILE
              Specify an alternate configuration file.

       -W WORKAROUNDS, --workaround-flags=WORKAROUNDS
              Specify workarounds to  vendor  compliance  issues.  Multiple  workarounds  can  be
              specified separated by commas. A special command line flag of "none", will indicate
              no workarounds (may be useful for overriding configured defaults). See  WORKAROUNDS
              below for a list of available workarounds.

       --debug
              Turn on debugging.

       -?, --help
              Output a help list and exit.

       --usage
              Output a usage message and exit.

       -V, --version
              Output the program version and exit.

SDR CACHE OPTIONS

       This tool requires access to the sensor data repository (SDR) cache for general operation.
       By default, SDR data will be downloaded and cached on the  local  machine.  The  following
       options apply to the SDR cache.

       -f, --flush-cache
              Flush  a  cached  version  of  the  sensor  data repository (SDR) cache. The SDR is
              typically cached for faster subsequent access. However, it may need to  be  flushed
              and re-generated if the SDR has been updated on a system.

       -Q, --quiet-cache
              Do  not  output  information  about  cache  creation/deletion.  May  be  useful  in
              scripting.

       --sdr-cache-recreate
              If the SDR cache is out of date or invalid, automatically recreate the sensor  data
              repository (SDR) cache. This option may be useful for scripting purposes.

       --sdr-cache-file=FILE
              Specify  a  specific  sensor  data repository (SDR) cache file to be stored or read
              from. If this option is used when multiple hosts are specified, the same SDR  cache
              file will be used for all hosts.

       --sdr-cache-directory=DIRECTORY
              Specify an alternate directory for sensor data repository (SDR) caches to be stored
              or read from. Defaults to the home directory if not specified.

TIME OPTIONS

       By IPMI definition, all IPMI times and timestamps are stored  in  localtime.  However,  in
       many  situations,  the timestamps will not be stored in localtime. Whether or not a system
       truly stored the timestamps in localtime varies on many factors, such as the vendor, BIOS,
       and  operating  system.   The  following  options  will  allow  the  user  to  adjust  the
       interpretation of the stored timestamps and how they should be output.

       --utc-to-localtime
              Assume all times are reported in UTC time and convert the time to localtime  before
              being output.

       --localtime-to-utc
              Convert all localtime timestamps to UTC before being output.

       --utc-offset=SECONDS
              Specify  a  specific  UTC  offset  in seconds to be added to timestamps.  Value can
              range from -86400 to 86400 seconds. Defaults to 0.

HOSTRANGED OPTIONS

       The following options manipulate hostranged  output.  See  HOSTRANGED  SUPPORT  below  for
       additional information on hostranges.

       -B, --buffer-output
              Buffer  hostranged output. For each node, buffer standard output until the node has
              completed its IPMI operation. When specifying  this  option,  data  may  appear  to
              output  slower to the user since the the entire IPMI operation must complete before
              any data can be output.  See HOSTRANGED SUPPORT below for additional information.

       -C, --consolidate-output
              Consolidate hostranged  output.  The  complete  standard  output  from  every  node
              specified  will  be consolidated so that nodes with identical output are not output
              twice. A header will list those nodes  with  the  consolidated  output.  When  this
              option  is  specified, no output can be seen until the IPMI operations to all nodes
              has completed. If  the  user  breaks  out  of  the  program  early,  all  currently
              consolidated  output  will  be  dumped. See HOSTRANGED SUPPORT below for additional
              information.

       -F NUM, --fanout=NUM
              Specify multiple host fanout. A "sliding window" (or fanout) algorithm is used  for
              parallel IPMI communication so that slower nodes or timed out nodes will not impede
              parallel communication. The maximum number of threads available at the same time is
              limited by the fanout. The default is 64.

       -E, --eliminate
              Eliminate  hosts  determined  as undetected by ipmidetect.  This attempts to remove
              the common issue of hostranged execution timing out  due  to  several  nodes  being
              removed  from service in a large cluster. The ipmidetectd daemon must be running on
              the node executing the command.

       --always-prefix
              Always prefix output, even if only one host is specified or communicating  in-band.
              This  option  is primarily useful for scripting purposes. Option will be ignored if
              specified with the -C option.

IPMI-OEM OPTIONS

       The following options are specific to Ipmi-oem.

       -L, --list
              List supported OEM IDs and Commands.

       -v, --verbose
              Output verbose information. Additional output will depend on specific  OEM  ID  and
              OEM COMMANDS specified.

SUPPORTED OEM IDS and COMMANDS

       The  currently supported OEM IDs and COMMANDs are listed below. The special OEM ID of list
       may be passed into the list all supported OEM IDs and Commands. The  special  OEM  command
       list may be passed to any OEM ID to list commands supported by that OEM ID.

              slot-power-control platform-model on|off|status slot-number
                     This OEM command will perform a power control action on a PCIe  slot.   This
                     OEM  extension  is  tied very closely to a platform, so a supported platform
                     must be specified. The currently supported platform-model options are C410x.
                     The on action powers on a slot, off powers off a slot, and status returns if
                     the current power is on or off. If the current power status  is  on,  an  on
                     action  does  nothing. Similarly, if the current power status is off, an off
                     action does nothing. The on, off, and status  slot  power  actions  are  not
                     native  and  are  emulated  through  a  combination of a power toggle (using
                     slot-power-toggle above) and the reading of PCIe slot watt sensors. The PCIe
                     slot  number  can  range  from  1  to  16. Command confirmed to work on Dell
                     Poweredge C410x.

              set-port-map jumper|bmc ipass-mapping 1:2|1:4|1:8
                     This  OEM  command  will  set  an  iPass  mapping to PCIe controllers/slots.
                     jumper or bmc must be specified  to  indicate  if  iPass  mappings  will  be
                     controlled  via  jumpers  on  the  system  or  via  a BMC/IPMI. In order for
                     reconfiguration to be done via ipmi-oem,  the  user  must  select  bmc.  The
                     ipass-mapping  determines  which  iPass ports will be mapped.  1:2, 1:4, and
                     1:8 determine the mapping that should be set. See details below for specific
                     platforms.  Command confirmed to work on Dell Poweredge C410x.  For the Dell
                     Poweredge C410x, the ipass-mapping ranges from 1 to 4. 1 refers to  iPass  1
                     and 5, 2 to 2 and 6, 3 to 3 and 7, and 4 to 4 and 8. For the platform C410x,
                     PCIe slots 1, 2, 3, 4, 13, 14, 15, and 16 are attached to iPass 1, 2, 3, and
                     4.  PCIe  slots 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12 are attached to iPass 5, 6, 7,
                     and 8. For example, if 1:2 is set on mapping-number 1, PCIe slots 1  and  15
                     will  be assigned to iPass 1 and slots 2 and 16 will be assigned to iPass 5.
                     if 1:4 is chosen, PCIe slots 1, 2, 15, and 16 will be assigned  to  iPass  1
                     and iPass 5 will not be used.

                     This OEM command will output the current  capabilities  of  the  Intel  Node
                     manager.  The  user  may  optionally  specify  a domainid, policytrigger, or
                     policytype. If any particular option is not specified, all  permutations  of
                     the  remaining options will be used in an attempt to output all capabilities
                     of the system. If the verbose option is set, additional error messages  will
                     be  output  as  valid  policies are being searched for. Command confirmed to
                     work on Intel S2600JF (Appro 512X).

              [domainid=platform|cpu|memory|highpowerio] [policyid=num]
                     This  OEM  command  will  enable  or  disable the current global, domain, or
                     policies used by the Intel Node Manager. If no domainid is  specified,  then
                     the  Node  Manager  will  be enabled or globally disabled.  If a domainid is
                     specified, only that domain will be enabled or disabled. If both a  domainid
                     and policyid are specified, only that specific policy within the domain will
                     be specified. This OEM  command  will  be  required  to  enable  or  disable
                     policies  before many of the commands below can be used for configuration or
                     use. Command confirmed to work on Intel S2600JF (Appro 512X).

              get-node-manager-policy [domainid=platform|cpu|memory|highpowerio] [policyid=num]
                     This OEM command will get the current node manager policy. If no domainid is
                     specified,  all policies for all domain IDs and policy Ids will be attempted
                     to be output. If a domainid is specified but a policyid is not, all policies
                     within  a  domain  will  be attempted to be output. If the verbose option is
                     set, additional error messages will be output as valid  policies  are  being
                     searched for. Command confirmed to work on Intel S2600JF (Appro 512X).

              [aggressivepowercorrection=automatic|notaggressive|aggressive]
                     This  OEM  command will add or modify an indicated policy ID from the domain
                     ID. Most of the fields above are required, although they can  be  listed  in
                     any  order.  By default any created/modified policy will be enabled, however
                     this  can  be  overridden  by  policystate.   policyexceptionaction  may  be
                     specified  multiple times to configure multiple actions or can be skipped to
                     configure no actions.  When the policytrigger is  configured  as  none,  the
                     trigger  that  will  lead to exception actions is the value specified by the
                     policytargetlimit.         When         the         policytrigger         is
                     inlettemperaturelimitpolicytrigger,      missingpowerreadingtimeout,      or
                     timeafterplatformresettrigger,  the  tigger  that  will  lead  to  exception
                     actions   is   the   value   specified   by  policytriggerlimit.   When  the
                     fIpolicytrigger is boottimepolicy, a power profile will simply be maintained
                     by  the  value  specified  by  policytargetlimit.  aggressivepowercorrection
                     defaults to automatic. It can only be set to notaggressive or aggressive  if
                     the  domainid  is  platform  or cpu.  policystorage determines if the policy
                     being configured can survive across resets of the machine. The units of  the
                     policytargetlimit   depends   on   the   policytrigger   selected.   If  the
                     policytrigger    is     none,     inlettemperaturelimitpolicytrigger,     or
                     timeafterplatformresettrigger,   the   units   will  be  in  Watts.  If  the
                     policytrigger is missingpowerreadingtimeout, the units will be  in  percent,
                     where  100 means maximum throttling. If the policytrigger is boottimepolicy,
                     the units is number of CPUs. In addition, platformbootingmode must be set to
                     performance  or  power to indicate optimization mode.  policytriggerlimit is
                     sometimes required, given the input  to  policytrigger.  The  units  of  the
                     policytriggerlimit  will  depend  on  the  policytrigger  selected.  If  the
                     policytrigger   is   inlettemperaturelimitpolicytrigger,   the   units    of
                     policytriggerlimit   will   be   in   Celsius.   If   the  policytrigger  is
                     missingpowerreadingtimeout or timeafterplatformresettrigger, the units  will
                     be  in  seconds.  If  the  policytrigger  is  none  or  boottimepolicy,  the
                     policytriggerlimit is ignored internally by the Intel Node Manager and  need
                     not  be  specified..  Typically configuring it to 0 is more than sufficient.
                     The correctiontimelimit specifies  the  time  the  Node  Manager  must  take
                     corrective  actions to bring back the system within limits before taking the
                     actions specified in policyexceptionaction. statisticsreportingperiod is the
                     number  of  seconds  that  measured  power  will  be averaged for reporting.
                     Please  see  get-node-manager-policy  to   determine   proper   ranges   for
                     policytargetlimit,      correctiontimelimit,     policytriggerlimit,     and

                     This OEM command will get the current alert thresholds. If  no  domainid  is
                     specified,  all  alert  thresholds  for  domain  IDs  and policy Ids will be
                     attempted to be output. If a domainid is specified but a  policyid  is  not,
                     all  alert  thresholds  within  a domain will be attempted to be output. The
                     units of the thresholds will depend on  the  configuration  of  the  current
                     policy.  If  the  verbose  option  is set, additional error messages will be
                     output as valid policies are being searched for. Command confirmed  to  work

              [policyid=num]
                     This OEM command will  get  the  current  policy  suspend  periods.  Suspend
                     periods  will  temporarily disable Intel Node Manager policies at configured
                     times. If no domainid is specified, all suspend periods for domain  IDs  and
                     policy Ids will be attempted to be output.  If a domainid is specified but a
                     policyid is not, all suspend periods within a domain will be attempted to be
                     output.  If  the  verbose  option  is set, additional error messages will be

                     suspendperiodstop specify the start and  stop  time  since  midnight  for  a
                     suspend  period.  The time should be specified in 24 hour format (i.e. 02:00
                     or 13:40). Note that suspend  periods  are  configured  in  multiples  of  6
                     minutes,  therefore  the  stored  configuration may be rounded to a slightly
                     alternate configuration.  suspendperiodrepeat indicates the  days  in  which
                     the  suspend  period  shall be enabled. The option can be specified multiple

       Inventec

              This OEM command will determine the current NIC mode as dedicated or
              shared.  Dedicated  indicates  IPMI  is  only available on the dedicated management
              port. Shared indicates IPMI is also available on one of the primary ethernet ports.
              Command confirmed to work on Inventec 5441/5442 (Dell Xanadu II/III).

              set-nic-mode dedicated|shared
              This  OEM  command  will  set  the  current  NIC mode to dedicated or shared.  (See
              get-nic-mode above for description on dedicated vs. shared mode.) This OEM  command
              may internally reset the BMC, making the BMC unusable for awhile. Command confirmed
              to work on Inventec 5441/5442 (Dell Xanadu II/III).

              get-mac-address
              This command will retrieve the BMC  MAC  address.  This  is  actually  not  an  OEM
              command,  but rather the normal IPMI MAC address command (identical to what is used
              in the ipmi-config(8) tool). This command is placed here for convenience.

              set-mac-address dedicated|shared MACADDR
              This OEM  command  will  set  the  dedicated  or  shared  BMC  MAC  address.   (See
              get-nic-mode  above  for  description  on  dedicated  vs. shared mode.) The BMC MAC
              address cannot be set through the normal IPMI MAC address command (what is used  in
              the  ipmi-config(8)  tool).  The  MACADDR  should be specified in XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
              form. A shared BMC MAC address may  conflict  with  normal  communication  ethernet
              communication  on  the  primary  ethernet  port. Users may wish to configuration an
              alternate MAC address instead. After configuration of the MAC address, the BMC must
              be  reset.  This  may be accomplished by executing a cold-reset with bmc-device(8).

              lockoutwindow=seconds,      lockouttime=seconds,      and      httpsportnumber=num.
              maxauthenticationfailures  specifies  the  maximum number of allowed authentication
              failures. lockoutwindow specifies the window of  time  the  authentication  failure
              count  can be reached in to disable a user. lockouttime specifies the time period a
              user is disabled if the authentication failure count is reached. Setting 0  to  any
              of  the  settings will disable the lockout feature. Each time any of these settings
              is modified, the authentication failure count of each enabled user is reset  to  0.
              Multiple  key=value  pairs  may  be specified. If no key=value pairs are specified,
              available pairs are output. Command confirmed to work on Inventec  5441/5442  (Dell

HOSTRANGED SUPPORT

       Multiple  hosts  can  be  input  either as an explicit comma separated lists of hosts or a
       range of hostnames in the general form: prefix[n-m,l-k,...], where n < m and l <  k,  etc.
       The  later  form  should  not  be confused with regular expression character classes (also
       denoted by []). For  example,  foo[19]  does  not  represent  foo1  or  foo9,  but  rather
       represents a degenerate range: foo19.

       This  range  syntax  is  meant  only  as  a convenience on clusters with a prefixNN naming
       convention and specification of ranges should not be  considered  necessary  --  the  list
       foo1,foo9 could be specified as such, or by the range foo[1,9].

       Some examples of range usage follow:
           foo[01-05] instead of foo01,foo02,foo03,foo04,foo05
           foo[7,9-10] instead of foo7,foo9,foo10
           foo[0-3] instead of foo0,foo1,foo2,foo3

       As  a  reminder  to  the reader, some shells will interpret brackets ([ and ]) for pattern
       matching. Depending on your shell, it may be necessary  to  enclose  ranged  lists  within
       quotes.

       When  multiple hosts are specified by the user, a thread will be executed for each host in
       parallel up to the configured fanout (which can be adjusted via the -F option). This  will
       allow communication to large numbers of nodes far more quickly than if done in serial.

       By  default,  standard  output  from  each node specified will be output with the hostname
       prepended to each line. Although this output is readable in many  situations,  it  may  be
       difficult  to  read  in  other  situations. For example, output from multiple nodes may be
       mixed together. The -B and -C options can be used to change this default.

       In-band IPMI Communication will be used when  the  host  "localhost"  is  specified.  This
       allows the user to add the localhost into the hostranged output.

GENERAL TROUBLESHOOTING

       Most often, IPMI problems are due to configuration problems.

       IPMI  over  LAN  problems  involve a misconfiguration of the remote machine's BMC.  Double
       check to make sure the following are configured properly in the remote machine's  BMC:  IP
       address,  MAC  address,  subnet mask, username, user enablement, user privilege, password,
       LAN  privilege,  LAN  enablement,  and  allowed  authentication  type(s).  For  IPMI   2.0
       connections,  double  check  to  make  sure  the cipher suite privilege(s) and K_g key are
       configured properly. The ipmi-config(8) tool can be used  to  check  and/or  change  these
       configuration settings.

       Inband IPMI problems are typically caused by improperly configured drivers or non-standard
       BMCs.

       In addition to the troubleshooting tips below, please see WORKAROUNDS  below  to  also  if
       there are any vendor specific bugs that have been discovered and worked around.

       Listed  below  are  many of the common issues for error messages.  For additional support,
       please e-mail the <freeipmi-users@gnu.org> mailing list.

       "username invalid" - The username entered (or a NULL username if none was entered) is  not
       available  on  the  remote  machine.  It  may  also  be possible the remote BMC's username
       configuration is incorrect.

       "password invalid" - The password entered (or a NULL password if none was entered) is  not
       correct.  It may also be possible the password for the user is not correctly configured on
       the remote BMC.

       "password verification timeout" -  Password  verification  has  timed  out.   A  "password
       invalid"  error  (described  above)  or  a  generic  "session  timeout"  (described below)
       occurred.  During this point in the protocol it cannot be differentiated which occurred.

       "k_g invalid" - The K_g key entered (or a NULL  K_g  key  if  none  was  entered)  is  not
       correct.  It  may  also  be possible the K_g key is not correctly configured on the remote
       BMC.

       "privilege level insufficient" - An IPMI command requires a higher user privilege than the
       one  authenticated  with.  Please  try  to  authenticate with a higher privilege. This may
       require authenticating to a different user which has a higher maximum privilege.

       "privilege level cannot be  obtained  for  this  user"  -  The  privilege  level  you  are
       attempting  to  authenticate with is higher than the maximum allowed for this user. Please
       try again with a lower privilege. It may also be  possible  the  maximum  privilege  level
       allowed for a user is not configured properly on the remote BMC.

       "authentication  type unavailable for attempted privilege level" - The authentication type
       you wish to authenticate with is not available for this privilege level. Please try  again
       with  an  alternate  authentication  type  or  alternate  privilege  level. It may also be
       possible the available authentication types you can authenticate with  are  not  correctly
       configured on the remote BMC.

       "cipher  suite  id unavailable" - The cipher suite id you wish to authenticate with is not
       available on the remote BMC. Please try again with an alternate cipher suite  id.  It  may
       also be possible the available cipher suite ids are not correctly configured on the remote
       BMC.

       "ipmi 2.0 unavailable" - IPMI 2.0 was not discovered on the remote machine. Please try  to
       use IPMI 1.5 instead.

       "connection timeout" - Initial IPMI communication failed. A number of potential errors are
       possible, including an invalid hostname specified, an IPMI IP address cannot be  resolved,
       IPMI  is  not  enabled  on  the  remote server, the network connection is bad, etc. Please
       verify configuration and connectivity.

       "session timeout" - The IPMI session has timed  out.  Please  reconnect.   If  this  error
       occurs  often,  you  may wish to increase the retransmission timeout. Some remote BMCs are
       considerably slower than others.

       "device not found" - The specified device could not be found. Please  check  configuration
       or inputs and try again.

       "driver  timeout"  -  Communication  with  the  driver or device has timed out. Please try
       again.

       "message timeout" - Communication with the driver or device  has  timed  out.  Please  try
       again.

       "BMC  busy" - The BMC is currently busy. It may be processing information or have too many
       simultaneous sessions to manage. Please wait and try again.

       "could not find inband device" - An inband  device  could  not  be  found.   Please  check
       configuration or specify specific device or driver on the command line.

       "driver  timeout"  -  The  inband  driver  has timed out communicating to the local BMC or
       service processor. The BMC or service processor may be busy or (worst case) possibly  non-
       functioning.

WORKAROUNDS

       With  so  many  different vendors implementing their own IPMI solutions, different vendors
       may implement their IPMI protocols  incorrectly.  The  following  describes  a  number  of
       workarounds  currently  available  to  handle discovered compliance issues. When possible,
       workarounds have been implemented so they will be transparent to the user.  However,  some
       will require the user to specify a workaround be used via the -W option.

       The hardware listed below may only indicate the hardware that a problem was discovered on.
       Newer versions of hardware may fix the problems indicated  below.  Similar  machines  from
       vendors  may  or  may  not  exhibit the same problems. Different vendors may license their
       firmware from the same IPMI firmware developer, so it may be worthwhile to try workarounds
       listed below even if your motherboard is not listed.

       If you believe your hardware has an additional compliance issue that needs a workaround to
       be implemented, please contact the FreeIPMI  maintainers  on  <freeipmi-users@gnu.org>  or
       <freeipmi-devel@gnu.org>.

       assumeio  - This workaround flag will assume inband interfaces communicate with system I/O
       rather than being memory-mapped. This will work around systems that  report  invalid  base
       addresses.  Those  hitting  this  issue  may see "device not supported" or "could not find
       inband device" errors.  Issue observed on HP ProLiant DL145 G1.

       spinpoll - This workaround flag will inform some inband  drivers  (most  notably  the  KCS
       driver)  to  spin  while  polling  rather  than  putting  the  process  to sleep. This may
       significantly improve the wall clock running time of tools  because  an  operating  system
       scheduler's granularity may be much larger than the time it takes to perform a single IPMI
       message transaction. However, by spinning, your system may be performing less useful  work
       by not contexting out the tool for a more useful task.

       authcap  -  This  workaround  flag  will  skip  early  checks  for  username capabilities,
       authentication capabilities, and K_g support and allow IPMI authentication to succeed.  It
       works  around multiple issues in which the remote system does not properly report username
       capabilities, authentication capabilities, or K_g status. Those hitting this issue may see
       "username  invalid",  "authentication  type unavailable for attempted privilege level", or
       "k_g  invalid"  errors.   Issue   observed   on   Asus   P5M2/P5MT-R/RS162-E4/RX4,   Intel
       SR1520ML/X38ML, and Sun Fire 2200/4150/4450 with ELOM.

       nochecksumcheck  -  This  workaround  flag  will  tell FreeIPMI to not check the checksums
       returned from IPMI  command  responses.  It  works  around  systems  that  return  invalid
       checksums  due  to  implementation  errors,  but  the packet is otherwise valid. Users are
       cautioned on the use of this option, as it removes validation of  packet  integrity  in  a
       number  of circumstances. However, it is unlikely to be an issue in most situations. Those
       hitting  this  issue  may  see  "connection  timeout",  "session  timeout",  or  "password
       verification  timeout"  errors.  On IPMI 1.5 connections, the "noauthcodecheck" workaround
       may also needed too. Issue observed  on  Supermicro  X9SCM-iiF,  Supermicro  X9DRi-F,  and
       Supermicro X9DRFR.

       idzero  -  This workaround flag will allow empty session IDs to be accepted by the client.
       It works around IPMI sessions that report empty session IDs to the client.  Those  hitting
       this issue may see "session timeout" errors. Issue observed on Tyan S2882 with M3289 BMC.

       unexpectedauth  -  This  workaround  flag  will  allow unexpected non-null authcodes to be
       checked as though they were expected. It works around an issue when packets  contain  non-
       null   authentication   data  when  they  should  be  null  due  to  disabled  per-message
       authentication. Those hitting this issue may see "session timeout" errors. Issue  observed
       on Dell PowerEdge 2850,SC1425. Confirmed fixed on newer firmware.

       forcepermsg  -  This  workaround  flag will force per-message authentication to be used no
       matter what is advertised by the remote system. It works around an issue when  per-message
       authentication is advertised as disabled on the remote system, but it is actually required
       for the protocol. Those hitting this  issue  may  see  "session  timeout"  errors.   Issue
       observed on IBM eServer 325.

       endianseq  -  This workaround flag will flip the endian of the session sequence numbers to
       allow the session to continue properly. It works around IPMI 1.5 session sequence  numbers
       that  are  the  wrong  endian.  Those hitting this issue may see "session timeout" errors.
       Issue observed on some Sun ILOM 1.0/2.0 (depends on service processor endian).

       noauthcodecheck - This workaround flag will tell FreeIPMI to not check the  authentication
       codes  returned  from  IPMI  1.5  command  responses.  It works around systems that return
       invalid authentication codes due to hashing or implementation errors. Users are  cautioned
       on the use of this option, as it removes an authentication check verifying the validity of
       a packet. However, in most organizations, this is unlikely to be a security  issue.  Those
       hitting  this  issue  may  see  "connection  timeout",  "session  timeout",  or  "password
       verification timeout" errors.  Issue  observed  on  Xyratex  FB-H8-SRAY,  Intel  Windmill,
       Quanta Winterfell, and Wiwynn Windmill.

       intel20  -  This  workaround  flag  will work around several Intel IPMI 2.0 authentication
       issues. The issues covered include padding of usernames, and password  truncation  if  the
       authentication  algorithm  is  HMAC-MD5-128.  Those  hitting  this issue may see "username
       invalid", "password invalid", or "k_g invalid" errors. Issue observed on  Intel  SE7520AF2
       with Intel Server Management Module (Professional Edition).

       supermicro20  -  This  workaround  flag  will  work  around  several  Supermicro  IPMI 2.0
       authentication issues on motherboards w/  Peppercon  IPMI  firmware.  The  issues  covered
       include  handling  invalid  length  authentication codes. Those hitting this issue may see
       "password invalid" errors.  Issue observed on Supermicro H8QME with SIMSO  daughter  card.
       Confirmed fixed on newerver firmware.

       sun20  -  This  workaround  flag will work work around several Sun IPMI 2.0 authentication
       issues. The issues covered include invalid lengthed hash keys, improperly hashed keys, and
       invalid  cipher suite records. Those hitting this issue may see "password invalid" or "bmc
       error" errors.  Issue observed on Sun Fire  4100/4200/4500  with  ILOM.   This  workaround
       automatically includes the "opensesspriv" workaround.

       opensesspriv  -  This  workaround  flag will slightly alter FreeIPMI's IPMI 2.0 connection
       protocol to workaround an invalid  hashing  algorithm  used  by  the  remote  system.  The
       privilege  level  sent during the Open Session stage of an IPMI 2.0 connection is used for
       hashing keys instead of the privilege level sent during the RAKP1 connection stage.  Those
       hitting  this  issue  may  see  "password invalid", "k_g invalid", or "bad rmcpplus status
       code" errors.  Issue observed on Sun Fire 4100/4200/4500  with  ILOM,  Inventec  5441/Dell
       Xanadu  II,  Supermicro  X8DTH, Supermicro X8DTG, Intel S5500WBV/Penguin Relion 700, Intel
       S2600JF/Appro 512X, and Quanta QSSC-S4R/Appro GB812X-CN. This workaround is  automatically
       triggered with the "sun20" workaround.

       integritycheckvalue  -  This  workaround  flag will work around an invalid integrity check
       value during an IPMI 2.0 session establishment when using Cipher Suite ID 0. The integrity
       check  value  should be 0 length, however the remote motherboard responds with a non-empty
       field. Those hitting this issue may see "k_g invalid" errors. Issue observed on Supermicro
       X8DTG,  Supermicro  X8DTU,  and Intel S5500WBV/Penguin Relion 700, and Intel S2600JF/Appro
       512X.

       assumemaxsdrrecordcount - This workaround will inform SDR reading to stop reading after  a
       known maximum numer of SDR records have been read. This will work around systems that have
       mis-implemented SDR reading functions that. Those hitting this issue may see  "SDR  record
       count invalid" errors. Issue observed on unspecified Inspur motherboard.

       No  IPMI  1.5  Support  -  Some  motherboards that support IPMI 2.0 have been found to not
       support IPMI 1.5. Those hitting this issue may see "ipmi 2.0 unavailable"  or  "connection
       timeout"  errors. This issue can be worked around by using IPMI 2.0 instead of IPMI 1.5 by
       specifying --driver-type=LAN_2_0. Issue observed on HP Proliant DL 145.

DIAGNOSTICS

       Upon successful execution, exit status is 0. On error, exit status is 1.

       If multiple hosts are specified for communication, the exit status is 0 if and only if all
       targets successfully execute. Otherwise the exit status is 1.

KNOWN ISSUES

       On  older  operating  systems, if you input your username, password, and other potentially
       security relevant information on the command line, this information may be  discovered  by
       other  users  when using tools like the ps(1) command or looking in the /proc file system.
       It is generally more secure to input password information with options like the -P  or  -K
       options.  Configuring  security  relevant  information  in the FreeIPMI configuration file
       would also be an appropriate way to hide this information.

       In order to prevent brute force attacks, some BMCs will  temporarily  "lock  up"  after  a
       number  of  remote  authentication  errors.  You  may need to wait awhile in order to this
       temporary "lock up" to pass before you may authenticate again.
