The asset tag length is +limited by the existing FRU Product data, but is usually +allowed up to 16 characters. The default is to not modify this FRU field. +.IP "-b" +Only show the Baseboard FRU data. The default behavior is to also scan +for any SDR FRU data or DIMM SPD data referenced by the SDRs. +.IP "-c" +Show FRU output in a canonical format, with a default delimiter of '|'. +.IP "-d file" +Dump binary FRU data to the specified file. +.IP "-e" +Show Every FRU output in a bladed chassis, including those under child MCs. +The default is to show FRUs referred to by just the target MC. +.IP "-i 00" +This option specifies a specific FRU ID to show. The input value should be +in hex (0b, 1a, etc.), as shown from the sensor SDR output. +By default, all FRU IDs that are specified in the FRU locator SDRs are shown. +.IP "-k <setsn | setmfgdate | nextboot>" +These Kontron OEM functions set FRU data based on existing data stored +elsewhere. The setsn option sets the FRU Board and Product serial number, +and the setmfgdate option sets the FRU Board Mfg DateTime. The nextboot +option specifies the boot device for the next boot: +BIOS, FDD, HDD, CDROM, or network. +These options are only supported on Kontron ATCA boards which have this +functionality. +.IP "-m 002000" +Show FRU for a specific MC (e.g. bus 00, sa 20, lun 00). +This could be used for PICMG or ATCA blade systems. +The trailing character, if present, indicates SMI addressing if 's', +or IPMB addressing if 'i' or not present. +.IP "-s serial_num" +This option specifies a serial number string to be written +to the baseboard FRU Product area. The serial number can be +any string up to 16 characters. The default is to not modify this FRU field. +.IP "-v prod_ver" +This option specifies a product version number string to be written +to the baseboard FRU Product area. The version number can be +any string up to 16 characters. The default is to not modify this FRU field. +.IP "-x" +Causes eXtra debug messages to be displayed. +.IP "-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. +.IP "-U rmt_user" +Remote username for the nodename given. The default is a null username. +.IP "-P/-R rmt_pswd" +Remote password for the nodename given. The default is a null password. +.IP "-E" +Use the remote password from Environment variable IPMI_PASSWORD. +.IP "-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. +.IP "-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. +.IP "-T" +Use a specified IPMI LAN Authentication Type: 0=None, 1=MD2, 2=MD5, 4=Straight Password, 5=OEM. +.IP "-V" +Use a specified IPMI LAN privilege level. 1=Callback level, 2=User level, 3=Operator level, 4=Administrator level (default), 5=OEM level. +.IP "-Y" +Yes, do prompt the user for the IPMI LAN remote password. +Alternatives for the password are \-E or \-P. + + +.SH "SEE ALSO" +ipmiutil(8) ialarms(8) iconfig(8) icmd(8) idiscover(8) ievents(8) igetevent(8) ihealth(8) ilan(8) ireset(8) isel(8) isensor(8) iserial(8) isol(8) iwdt(8) + +.SH WARNINGS +See http://ipmiutil.sourceforge.net/ for the latest version of ipmiutil and any bug fix list. + +.SH COPYRIGHT +Copyright (C) 2009 Kontron America, Inc. +.PP +See the file COPYING in the distribution for more details +regarding redistribution. +.PP +This utility is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but +WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY. + +.SH AUTHOR +.PP +Andy Cress <arcress at users.sourceforge.net> +.br + |
