NAME

       ipmiutil_config - list, save, and restore BMC configuration parameters

SYNOPSIS

       ipmiutil config [-lpxLNUPREFJTVY] [-r file] [-s file]

DESCRIPTION

       ipmiutil  config is a program that uses an IPMI driver to send IPMI commands which list, save and restore
       BMC configuration parameters for LAN, Serial, PEF, SOL, User, Channel.  This combines  the  functionality
       of  ipmiutil  lan  (ilan)  and ipmiutil serial (iserial).  Note that some of the LAN parameters cannot be
       restored remotely over the IPMI LAN, changing the configuration that is in use.   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.

OPTIONS

       Command line options are described below.

       -l     Lists BMC configuration parameters with a keyword, index, and its hex values.  This is the default
              behavior if no options are specified.

       -r config_file
              Restores BMC configuration from config_file, which was produced with -s below.

       -s config_file
              Saves BMC configuration to config_file.  This file could be edited, in certain cases, such  as  to
              vary  the  BMC  IP  address  (LanParam  3),  or  to use the UserPassword records.  Note that lines
              beginning with '#' are comments and are ignored.  For editing UserPassword records,  convert  your
              text  value  to  hex format; for example "echo 'mypassword' |od -t x1", and leave off the trailing
              0a.

       -x     Causes extra debug messages to be displayed.

       -p password_to_set
              This specifies the firmware password to set for BMC LAN access for all users during  the  restore.
              If  not  specified,  the  password  configuration will not be changed, unless a valid UserPassword
              record is present in the file to be  restored.   Note  that  user  passwords  are  write-only  via
              standard IPMI commands.

       -L lan_ch_num
              This  specifies the IPMI LAN channel number used for BMC LAN.  This varies by platform, and can be
              found in the platform technical specifications.  By default, bmcconfig scans all IPMI channels  to
              find a LAN channel for BMC LAN.

       -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.

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

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

       -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.
