Connecting to the management module using an IPMI tool
3. Enter and confirm a new password for the admin account.
The password should be between 5 and 20 characters long and should include a combination of upper and lower
case letters and numbers.
You can change the admin account password at any time.
Connecting to the management module using an IPMI tool
You can install a remote IPMI tool on a management computer and then use this IPMI tool to start an IPMI
session with the management module. You can use one of the console ports or the MGMT port to connect with
the IPMI tool.
The IPMI commands are the same as the CLI commands described in this chapter but they have to be prefixed
as shown in the following example that changes the MGMT interface IP address to 172.20.120.30 over a serial
connection:
sudo ipmitool -I serial-terminal -D /dev/ttyS1:9600 -U <username> -P <password> lan set 4
ipaddr 172.20.120.30
Here is the same command over an Ethernet connection:
sudo ipmitool -I lanplus -H 10.160.19.30 -k gkey -U <username> -P <password> lan set 4
ipaddr 172.20.120.30
Use the following IPMI commands to change the management module password:
First from a console port connection:
sudo ipmitool -I serial-terminal -D /dev/ttyS1:9600 -U <username> -P <password> user set
password 2 <password>
And from an Ethernet connection:
sudo ipmitool -I lanplus -H 10.160.19.30 -k gkey -U <username> -P <password> user set
password 2 <password>
To perform an operation on a module according to its chassis slot include the -t <slot> parameter in the IPMI
command. For example, to list the sensors on the FIM module in chassis slot 2 (0x82), use the following IPMI
command:
sudo ipmitool -I lanplus -H 10.160.19.30 -k gkey -U <username> -P <password0> -t 0x82
