NAME

       ipmiutil_reset - perform a hardware reset on the system

SYNOPSIS

       ipmiutil reset [-bcdDefhijmnoprsuwxy -N node -U user -P/-R pswd -EFJTVY]

DESCRIPTION

       ipmiutil  reset  is  a  program that uses IPMI commands to perform a hardware reset of the
       chassis, or boot to a specific device.  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.

       -c     Power Cycle the system chassis

       -d     Power Down the system chassis

       -n     Send NMI to the system

       -u     Power Up the system chassis

       -r     Hard Reset the system chassis

       -D     Do a soft shutdown of the OS, and then power down.  Note that remote soft  shutdown
              (-D -N) for Intel S5000 baseboard requires ipmiutil getevt -a running on the target
              server.

       -o     Do a soft shutdown of the OS, and then reset.  Note that remote soft  shutdown  (-o
              -N)  for  Intel  S5000  baseboard requires ipmiutil getevt -a running on the target
              server.

       -k     Do a cold reset to restart the BMC firmware.

       -m 002000s
              Perform these function for a specific MC  (e.g.  bus  00,  sa  20,  lun  00).   The
              trailing character, if present, indicates SMI addressing if 's', or IPMB addressing
              if 'i' or not present.

       -b     Do a hard reset and reboot to the BIOS Setup menu, for this reboot only.

       -e     Do a hard reset to EFI, if IPMI EFI boot is enabled, for this reboot only.

       -f     Do a hard reset to Floppy/Removable, for this reboot only.

       -h     Do a hard reset to a Hard Disk, for this reboot only.

       -i     Set the boot Initiator mailbox string, usually for PXE use.   The  string  must  be
              less than 78 characters.

       -j     Set the IANA number used for the boot Initiator mailbox string.

       -p     Do a hard reset and network boot to PXE server, for this reboot only.

       -s     Do  a  hard  reset  and reboot to the Service/Diagnostic Partition, for this reboot
              only.  Reboots to the default if no service partition is configured.

       -v     Do a hard reset to DVD/CDROM Media, for this reboot only.

       -w     Wait for BMC ready after a reset before exiting the utility.

       -x     Causes extra debug messages to be displayed.

       -y     Yes, try to persist any boot options used  [-befhprsv].   This  requires  the  IPMI
              firmware  to ask the BIOS to change boot order settings, so it may not be supported
              by all BMC firmware vendors.

       -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.
