Rebooting BMC

There might be situations where the BMC is in a bad state and need to be rebooted. One symptom is when
you run the step to verify the FSP/BMC IP was set correctly in essutils:
Figure 82. EMS SSR menu
9. Check FSP interface (EMS or 3200) (HMC1 | BMC)
[root@ess3200rw2b ~]# date;ipmitool lan print 1

To fix this issue, do the following:
1. Login as root (password is ibmesscluster).
2. Run the following script:
/opt/ibm/ess/tools/samples/reboot_BMC.sh
You will be prompted for the BMC password (which is the Serial number + A (left canister) or B (right
canister) and press the Enter key.
Wait for few minutes and confirm the BMC is healthy again by running:

You must get a normal output.
