Once per day should be sufficient. + +Run with no options, this command reads the BMC SEL time without +setting anything. + +This utility can use either the /dev/ipmi0 openipmi driver, +the /dev/imb Intel driver, the /dev/ipmikcs valinux driver, +a driverless interface, or IPMI LAN. + +.SH OPTIONS +.IP "-s" +Sets the SEL time (no more than once a day). +.IP "-x" +Causes eXtra debug messages to be displayed. + +.IP "-N nodename" +Nodename of the remote target system.

The default is a null username. +.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 14): 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. +.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) isel(8) ievents(8) icmd(8) + +.SH WARNINGS +See http://ipmiutil.sourceforge.net/ for the latest version of ipmiutil and any bug fix list. + +.SH COPYRIGHT +Copyright (C) 2013 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 +.br + -- cgit v1.2.3
