Description : command line tool to interface with IPMI
ipmitool is a utility for managing and configuring devices that
support the Intelligent Platform Management Interface. IPMI is an
open standard for monitoring, logging, recovery, inventory, and
control of hardware that is implemented independent of the main CPU,
BIOS, and OS. The service processor (or Baseboard Management
Controller, BMC) is the brain behind platform management and its
primary purpose is to handle the autonomous sensor monitoring and
event logging features.
The ipmitool program provides a simple command-line interface to this
BMC. It features the ability to read the sensor data repository (SDR)
and print sensor values, display the contents of the System Event Log
(SEL), print Field Replaceable Unit (FRU) inventory information, read
and set LAN configuration parameters, and perform remote chassis power
control.
