16.1.5 Connect: IPMI

The B092-016 control panel provides a number of IPMI tools for managing service processors or Baseboard Management
Controllers (BMCs). These IPMI controls are built on the ipmitools program. Find more details on configuration options in http://
ipmitool.sourceforge.net/manpage.html
The ipmitool program provides a simple command-line interface to the BMCs and features the ability to read the sensor
data repository (SDR), display the contents of the System Event Log (SEL), read and set LAN configuration parameters, and
perform remote chassis power control. The B092-016 Management Console also has additional tools for controlling power
units with IPMI interfaces (refer to Chapter 8).
• Select Connect: IPMI on the control panel and select the Serial over LAN connection to be accessed
This will launch a Serial-Over-LAN session by running:
# ipmitool -I lanplus -H hostname -U username -P password sol activate
The resulting serial character connection is presented in an rxvt (ouR XVT) window. Also the Serial-Over-LAN feature is only
applicable to IPMI2.0 devices.
• Select Logs: IPMI on the control panel and select the IPMI Event Log to be viewed
This will retrieve the selected IPMI event log by running:
# ipmitool -I lanplus -H hostname -U username -P password sel info
