          ipmiutil sel -?
       For man pages on each command, its man page is named "i<command>", or refer to SEE ALSO below.

       This utility can use either the /dev/ipmi0 driver from OpenIPMI, the  /dev/imb  driver  from  Intel,  the
       /dev/ipmikcs driver from valinux, direct user-space IOs, or the IPMI LAN interface if -N is used.

OPTIONS

       Command options are described in the man page for each command.  Below are a few of the common options.

       -x     Causes extra debug messages to be displayed.

       -N nodename
              Nodename  or  IP  address  of  the  remote  target  system.   If a nodename is specified, IPMI LAN
              interface is used.  Otherwise the local system management interface is used.

       -U rmt_user
              Remote username for the nodename given.  The default is a null username.

       -P/-R rmt_pswd
              Remote password for the nodename given.  The default is a null password.

       -E     Use the remote password from Environment variable IPMI_PASSWORD.

       -F drv_t
              Force the driver type to one of the followng: imb, va, open, gnu, landesk, lan, lan2, lan2i,  kcs,
              smb.   Note  that  lan2i means lan2 with intelplus.  The default is to detect any available driver
              type and use it.

       -J     Use  the  specified  LanPlus  cipher  suite  (0  thru  17):  0=none/none/none,   1=sha1/none/none,
              2=sha1/sha1/none,  3=sha1/sha1/cbc128, 4=sha1/sha1/xrc4_128, 5=sha1/sha1/xrc4_40, 6=md5/none/none,
              ... 14=md5/md5/xrc4_40.  Default is 3.

       -T     Use a specified IPMI LAN Authentication Type: 0=None, 1=MD2, 2=MD5, 4=Straight Password, 5=OEM.

       -V     Use a specified IPMI LAN privilege  level.  1=Callback  level,  2=User  level,  3=Operator  level,
              4=Administrator level (default), 5=OEM level.

       -Y     Yes, do prompt the user for the IPMI LAN remote password.  Alternatives for the password are -E or
              -P.
